Nancy Pelosi Hit Ocasio-Cortez, Says Glass Of Water With ‘D-NY' Next To It Could Win in Her District
Pelosi (D-CA) gave a speech Monday at the London School of Economics, in which she said the Democratic Party has got to avoid the “menace” of far-left policies that are often advocated by young and rising political stars, like free healthcare, free college tuition and a higher minimum wage. She said the Democratic socialist — who's pushing the Green New Deal environmental plan with a $93 trillion price tag — and others like her represent only a tiny faction in the margins of American politics.
“When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's. And she's a wonderful member of Congress, I think all of our colleagues will attest,” Pelosi said of the two liberal districts, hers in San Francisco and Ocasio-Cortez's in New York City. “But those are districts that are solidly Democratic.”
Pelosi then reached over to a small table and held aloft a glass of water, saying, “This glass of water would win with a D next to its name in those districts.”
Please welcome, AOC's upcoming Primary Opponent:
