Nancy Pelosi met privately with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez today, after a messy public feud between the two highest-profile House members riveted the Capitol earlier this month
“I have meetings with members all the time...we covered a range of issues in our conversation particular to the congresswoman’s committees,” she said.
The behind-closed-doors conversation came after a days-long spat between Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez earlier this month that ignited when the speaker dismissed the influence the New York Democrat and her high-profile progressive freshman friends — known collectively as “the squad” — have in the House. Tensions between progressive and moderate House Democrats were still inflamed after an internal debate over the border bill spilled out publicly, resulting in nasty name calling on Twitter and a dramatic confrontation on the House floor.
“Those aren’t quotes from me; they‘re from the Speaker. Having respect for ourselves doesn’t mean we lack respect for her,” Ocasio-Cortezposter="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201907/3145/1155968404_6057957037001_6057948027001-vs.
