Nancy Pelosi is trying to control her minions and it isn’t working.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went even further and THREATENED moderate Democrats who are from swing districts and voted in accordance with what their constituents would want.
Wow. That’s a novel idea. Representatives who actually vote according to the views of the people who voted for them. This tweet is from my own Congressman, Justin Amash, who understands what a U.S. Representative is supposed to be doing.
If you think my job is to support the president one hundred percent, then you don’t understand what it means to be a representative in Congress. My job is to support the Constitution one hundred percent and to represent all the people of my district by protecting their rights.

Here are the details regarding the implosion in the Democrat Party.
House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash out at moderates from The Washington Post
House Democrats exploded in recriminations Thursday over moderates bucking the party, with liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatening to put those voting with Republicans “on a list” for a primary challenge.
In a closed-door session, a frustrated Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at about two dozen moderates and pressured them to get on board. “We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision,” Pelosi said, according to two people present but not authorized to discuss the remarks publicly.
But Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the unquestioned media superstar of the freshman class, upped the ante, admonishing the moderates and indicating she would help liberal activists unseat them in the 2020 election.
Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said she told her colleagues that Democrats who side with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.”
“She said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, they’re going to want a list of names and she’s going to give it to them,” Trent said, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Triggering the blowup were Wednesday’s votes on a bill to expand federal background checks for gun purchases. Twenty-six moderate Democrats joined Republicans in amending the legislation, adding a provision requiring that ICE be notified if an illegal immigrant seeks to purchase a gun.

#ComradeCortez is taking names. This one is a bona fide communist, right down to her “enemies” lists. Re-education camps next? https://t.co/gAHIO3DXnm

Wow, that is absolutely insane, and makes me want to ask if she’s not aware of her party mocking the “witch hunt” for Communists in the 50s and 60s.
My brain is forgetting the name of the guy who was primarily doing that. It’s kind of fried with migraine recovery right now.

Someone pointed out that having Nancy Pelosi in charge of the House might be a gift to President Trump in his re-election bid because it would give him a foil. I’m thinking these new Democrat Reps such as Ocasio-Cortez and the rest are going to be a huge gift to him.
The kind of stuff they are promoting and doing doesn’t play in large portions of America. Trump could win again through a combination of what he has done and, again, being the lesser of two evils.
