It should come as no surprise that establishment leadership doesn't like AOC and the progressive caucus. This is exactly the sort of status quo BS that countless analysts have said is why voters turned away from the Party and voted for Twit the first time, and voted against centrist Dems down ticket in 2020. After losing a number of seats in the House and not winning expected seats in the Senate, instead of realizing they needs to go more progressive they assume they need more of the same? What dense Dembeciles and delusional Demosaurs.
"A House body tasked with deciding committee assignments overwhelmingly voted Thursday to deny progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a spot on the powerful Energy and Commerce panel, instead handing the seat to centrist Rep. Kathleen Rice. The landslide 46-13 vote in favor of Rice by the House Steering and Policy Committee—which is chaired by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)—was viewed as establishment backlash against Ocasio-Cortez over her willingness to publicly break with the party brass on key policy matters and criticize Pelosi's leadership, as she did in an interview with The Intercept released this week."
