Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on progressives to address their intra-party grievances privately
Speaker Nancy Pelosi chided progressives in a closed-door meeting Wednesday, calling on them to address their intra-party grievances privately rather than blasting their centrist colleagues on Twitter.
“I’m here to help the children when it’s easy and when it’s hard. Some of you are here to make a beautiful pâté but we’re making sausage most of the time,” Pelosi told the caucus. Pelosi questioned the actual influence the group has, given that they were the only four Democrats who opposed the House’s original humanitarian package. Ocasio-Cortez and the other progressives — Reps. Rashida Tlaib , Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley — quickly fired back, criticizing Pelosi’s remarks in a series of tweets.
"They certainly seem hell bent to do black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s," Chakrabarti wrote on Twitter before deleting the post. Pelosi’s speech is part of an effort by Democratic leaders to knit the party back together after the bitter border funding fight last month.
