AOC and Rashida Tlaib Lose Fight for Influential House Committee Seats
2019-01-11
[Breitbart] Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida
Rancida
Tlaib (D-MI) were dealt blows this week after failing to secure seats on powerful House committees despite a push from progressive groups.

Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), a former lawyer and accountant in his second term, clinched a seat on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday, beating out Ocasio-Cortez, 29, who vowed to promote a "Green New Deal" and "Medicare for All,'"if given a seat on the influential panel.

In a statement, Suozzi, who represents Glen Cove, New York, pledged to "fight for the national issues voters and American families are concerned about ‐ increasing wages, improving retirement security, and reducing healthcare and prescription drug costs."

#7  Damn, the dems realised what a vote loser they were.

I thought the right sounding like they were threatened by those 2 loons would make the dems put them front and centre.

They must be learning to the ways of the Trump(PBUH)

#4  If I remember, it costs $100,000 to buy a Committee seat. That money goes to their political party.

#1  They got their leashes yanked on. I'm sure they are not going to run out to brag about getting the "Behave or next it's the shock collar." talk...
