how “the laws of economics still apply to a president who had promised to supercharge economic growth while simultaneously shrinking the chronic U.S. trade deficit.”

After Omar was slammed by senior Democrats for using what they saw as anti-Semitic tropes, Pelosi tried to tamp down the uproar by spearheading a resolution headed to the House floor to condemn anti-Semitism. But the speaker and her leadership team This isn't the only time that powerful freshmen have flexed their political and policy muscle -- to the chagrin of some of their less progressive colleagues.

After stealing 1million dollars in campaign donations

The birthing of AO-C...

She will have a desk in the oval someday

It’s long past time for Democrats to aggressively fight for true progressive principles without being afraid of being called “liberal”.

Algo se huele la Youth 😄

Good! You have to replace the old guard when it refuses to serve its people and do right by them.

SenSchumer TeamPelosi senatemajldr MAJOR MISTAKES BY PELOSI & SCHUMER & McCONNELL ARE MAKING THE MISTAKES OF THEIR LIVES BY LETTING ENEMINES OF USA TAKE HOLD. No BALLS, BOCKBONE or GUTS. Shut them down.!!

The old guard need to step aside and let the fresh guards show them how things are done these days in an ever changing world.

AOC is a gift to the Republican party. She will single handedly divide the Democrats all while making a fool of herself. Best of luck to her lol.

ARE!!! you're the POST!

Just because you're young & loud, doesn't always mean you're right. AOC & some of these newbies need to realize that more than just progressives vote. There's millions of us Dem moderates. And if they don't slow their roll, we'll have Donnie for 4 more years or someone worse.

Good for them.

However one chooses to present it, Anti-Semitism is real & Rep. Omar & any other elected official should be called out for blatant statements/displays containing it, or any other race/faith/xenophobic slurs. Doesn’t matter her race/faith/gender, etc. Enough tiptoeing.

Stupidity and anti-Semitism has replaced soft bigotry as the most notable attribute among democrat legislators.

They’re turning the party into anti Semitic socialists

The Old Guard apparently isn't racist enough.

Move over mummies. In 10 years will be no more and this is THEIR chance to do it their way and hopefully better.

Yes ! The Democratic Party is imploding.

The cozy conveniences of the old guard broke the American political system. SpeakerPelosi and persons like JoeNBC are attempting to shoehorn AOC TulsiGabbard and IlhanMN into the sclerotic shibboleths that strangled American democracy and upheld its warmongering ponzi!

the democrats are commencing a slow motion suicide-i just wish they would hurry up

They are destroying the Democrat party.

They is?

She needs to get s lawyer.. transferring from her PAC contributions to an LLC is not right ... transparent

That's dreamy.

The old guard has failed in many ways - failed in leadership, failed in messaging and failed in resistance.

SOME? It’s a slam dunk! Think of it-Democrat’s now cannot ostracize racists if they’re Dems. They cannot control the insanity of Socialism’s supporters guaranteeing financial disaster. They cannot control the security at the border. They cannot stop the murder of babies. SOME?

Reps wringing their hands in glee. Thank you, libs!!

The freshman members of Congress are a freaking disaster for the Democrats because the majority of Democrats identify as center-left. These hard left college campus loons are a joke.

The beginnings of the changing of the guard. Out with the old and tired; in with the new and fresh. The times they are a changing

They should. The 'old guard' follows media intently and has knee-jerk reactions when something seems to be amiss. The freshmen, however, don't throw their fellow members under the bus, and support them. I will take that any day. I'm impressed with the new House members.

This is an interesting take on this story. It's more like... 'Leader Pelosi has lost control of her caucus.'

Funny. I thought it took more than a hijab and a bad attitude to become a Representative.

And when the left expalins to their grandkids how they lost two elections to F’ing Donald Trump, they’ll have articles like this to look back on.

The socialist takeover is complete. They own SpeakerPelosi.

Everyone wants to be President. You have a Youtube Generation that thinks that they become President because they get the most likes on Twitter and Facebook. You would be fooling yourself if you think that this is anything other than ambition.

En cuanto se compren un Opel . Estan en ello.

They better get back to the middle or they will lose a lot of votes

They're making a list, And checking it twice, Not Leftist enough? One right between the eyes... Socialists are cooooooming to toooooowwwwn!

No thanks Cortes ,,,, I will do all I can to insure America remains Christian and has strong borders !! maga aoc - Larry

What we have here is a Failure to Assimilate!

Radical Campus politics meets the old guard. The conflict should be interesting to watch. The new Dems are a frightening bunch.

I’ve never felt more represented.

Nancy is terrified of them and they now control the House.

Good luck. The Dems are off the rails. Their policies of communism / baby killings / envy / intolerance / anti-Semitism / censorship / ---this is the scripted stuff of horror movies.

I’m sure it’s going to work out well in 2020. 16% of the country agrees with Socialism. Good luck😂😂😂
