Rep. Ilhan Omar says 'sorry not sorry' to Pelosi over fight about Democrats' direction
Game on. The battle between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with her progressive “squad” went full tilt over the weekend.
Omar leaped into the fray Sunday in a tweet to Ocasio-Cortez, in which Omar called her colleague “sis.”You know they’re just salty about WHO is wielding the power to shift “public sentiment” these days, sis.Omar was responding to Ocasio Cortez’s clapback to a dig by Pelosi in a column Saturday by New York Times writer Maureen Dowd. Pelosi dismissed the women — along with freshmen Reps.
The new source of friction was the clash over Pelosi’s decision to back the Senate border funding bill — instead of the House version — even though it lacked guarantees for humanitarian aid for detained immigrants, particularly children. Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti also joined the action, calling Pelosi’s attacks on her young Democratic colleagues “baffling.” He said Pelosi is “just mad that she got outmaneuvered by Republicans” on the border bill.
