re-elected in the most progressive area of the country and with POCs all over her leadership group, insinuated by a six-month rookie representative that she's a racist, which the rep immediately walked back with an "of course not" when challenged by a reporter if the Speaker is biased—a verbal oxymoron if I ever saw one.

And btw, that rep's chief of staff accused other Dems in a tweet of being like segregationists from the 40s. This tweet came out of AOC's office. This chief of staff also sported a T-shirt of a WWll, nazi collaborator (guess we weren't supposed to know). He's out of control and the management skills of his boss is in question.

This is the genesis of the whole don't blast other Dems on twitter quarrel. Why would adults have to be told not to blast other members of their own party to the world I will never know?

Anyway, I think if AOC had begun early on to build a voting block of other reps she could've went to the Speaker with actual leverage that could've torpedoed that immigration bill if it wasn't changed. The four women, the squad, are not enough as Nancy Pelosi didn't build her career without know how to count—four votes out of two-hundred and forty ain't cutting it. AOC needs a block of votes/reps that will garner notice, with some not as far left to add credibility.

IMO in six months in office a lot of that time has been spent battling with the Speaker and other Dems. Now she's known as being on the record of accusing the Speaker of racial bias. Not an enviable position to be in. Time to use her considerable gifts to learn how to work and be effective in the House rather than on Twitter.
