AOC ups ante in feud with Pelosi, suggests speaker is 'singling out' newly elected 'women of color'
AOC-Pelosi feud gets personal
The public spat between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., got a lot nastier on Wednesday, with thefreshman congresswoman suggesting that the speaker is "singling out" her and other progressives based on their race. "When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” Ocasio-Cortez told the Washington Post. “But the persistent singling out … It got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful. … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.”
