“You cannot ignore the young people of this country who are passionate about economic and racial and social and environmental justice. You gotta bring them in, not alienate them.'
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday sided with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow progressive freshman congresswomen amid an ongoing spat over tactics and policy with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .
The intraparty fight spilled into the open when, in an interview with The New York Times, Pelosi dismissed the power of Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow progressive freshmen in the House: Ilhan Omar , Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib . The four lawmakers had opposed a House funding bill aiming to address the migrant crisis at the border because it didn’t provide sufficient restrictions on how the Trump administration could spend the money.
Ocasio-Cortez responded by calling Pelosi’s “singling out” of Democratic women of color “disrespectful.” During his interview on Sunday, Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, seemed to echo concerns about Pelosi singling out the four women.
