'The long-simmering tension between the progressive and establishment wings of the Democratic Party continues boiling over this weekend.' Phil_Mattingly, on the 'schism' between Nancy Pelosi and 'the so-called 'Squad,' of four, firebrand Freshmen women.'
A growing rift has spilled out into public view between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who has pushed back in the face of comments from the speaker that have widely been interpreted as hostile toward the four progressive freshmen Democrats known as"the squad" -- Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
Karen Bass, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told CNN that the criticism that Pelosi singles out women of color is not correct and that she planned to talk to the freshman Democrat about it."I did see that she said that, and I actually want to go talk to her about that," Bass said, adding, I don't believe that that's the correct."Asked if the criticism is unfair, Bass said:"Well, I want to find out why she's making that criticism.
