"I think [Ocasio] Cortez is being very disrespectful to somebody who's been there a long time. I deal with Nancy Pelosi a lot and we go back and forth and it’s fine, but I think that a group of people is being very disrespectful to her and you know what? I don't think that Nancy can let that go on," Trump said before departing the White House on Friday. "She is not a racist. Okay? She is not a racist. For them to call her a racist is a disgrace."
Trump is a fucking genius.
Trump is a fucking genius.

Its Faux News but take it for what's its worth. Also this is only going to help AOC and strengthen her bond with her base, not unlike Trump as some bright political analyst pointed out when she first appeared. A lot of democrats don't like their party leadership anymore than a lot of GOP do.
Complete with anonymous sources saying how worthless she is. Sounds familiar. But Trump's trump card is that he actually likes America. Underestimate her at your own risk
House Democrats and their aides are quickly losing patience with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her office's nonstop sparring with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other long-serving members, suggesting the speaker's dismissive comments toward her may represent the view of a growing section of the caucus.
“She is a complete fraud,” one senior Democratic source told Fox News on Friday, succinctly summing up members' frustration.
The last straw, for some, was the lawmaker's claim that Pelosi was uniquely disrespectful to minority congresswomen. One senior lawmaker, who is black, scorched Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday for allegedly using the race card against the speaker, calling her comments "so inappropriate." Some lawmakers have even turned the tables, arguing that a group aligned with her is targeting black lawmakers for potential primary challenges in questioning those comments.
“Her peers do not take her seriously,” the senior Democratic source said Friday, adding: “They think it is absurd to call the speaker racist. Offensive and absurd.”
The source said Ocasio-Cortez, who won her seat after a stunning primary victory over longtime House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley, has “no power” -- despite her immense Twitter following and unique ability to at times command the news cycle.
“She is a nobody. She is a freshman member of Congress with no power. She is not worth the speaker’s brainpower,” the source said -- accusing her of starting "needless distractions from serious issues," and skipping meetings and conference calls in favor of media interviews, tweets and "glamour."
“In this building, it is about how many others you can bring along to your side. She maybe has two members—sometimes four,” the source added.
The comments come as prominent members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) side with Pelosi.
“It was such a weak argument to say she was being picked on and that four women of color were being picked on by the speaker,” Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., a member of the CBC, said Thursday night. “It shows their lack of sensitivity to racism. To fall back on that [trope] is a weak argument. It has no place in a civil discussion.”
The bolded is somewhat ironic coming from the CBC but still
Bell Curve, baby.
