Democratic lawmakers fear Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, vote secretly to exclude her from her chosen congressional committee
Posted on
There’s good and bad when a politician builds a reputation for bucking the system, breaking protocols, and doing essentially whatever they want. Party leadership usually doesn’t reward rabble-rousers, as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez learned today.
In her efforts to move up in party hierarchy and establish a platform through which to push her Green New Deal, the newly reelected Representative from New York applied to be on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee. There were five open spots, four of which were directly assigned by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. But for the fifth spot, she left it up for grabs in a secret vote. It didn’t work out for AOC. According to Townhall:
I listened to Joe Biden’s speech the other night the one where he had that frog in his throat, happens to all of us but I think that frog might be a confused as I am.
Mr. Biden says he wants to bring the American people together that’s noble intent. However, he has said absolutely nothing that would indicate he knows how to do that. Instead, he continues to scold people who question the election. Well, there was some fraud and the way to unite everyone is not to deny that it is to investigate those allegations right? But no!

It would also expand unemployment benefits, providing an additional $300 per week.
