(94,603 posts)A House Democrat blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive allies for their ongoing feud with House Speak Nancy Pelosi, saying their ignorance is beyond belief.
Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO) fumed at AOC and other House progressives for their dispute with the House speaker, and accused them of playing the race card.
What a weak argument, because you cant get your way and because youre getting pushback you resort to using the race card? Unbelievable. Thats unbelievable to me, Clay said according to The Hill. I could care less. I could really care less. I agree with the Speaker. Four people, four votes out of 240 people, who cares.
Clay is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and is considered a centrist Democrat. The progressive group Justice Democrats has endorsed his primary challenger Cori Bush, and Clay took time to bash Justice Democrats as well.
