Democratic lawmaker slams party for being stuck in old ways
|
 [NYPOST] Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said her party was still stuck in their ''old ways'' while reacting to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's failed bid to be the top Democrat Oversight Committee chair, and suggested they were too focused on seniority.
''Different ain't a synonym for 'better,'''
''While I think both are absolutely qualified, I do think that within the Democratic Caucus, we are really stuck in our old ways of doing things which is you get there by seniority. And so if you've been there longer, you get the post, and I don't think we fully sit there and say, 'who may be best equipped for this moment?''' Crockett said.
'... and is she a loose cannon? A birdbrain? A showboat?'
| If the question is competence, the answer is never AOC. |
Ocasio-Cortez lost the bid to be the top Democrat on the committee to Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., who is more moderate. The 74-year-old lawmaker's win over Ocasio-Cortez was seen as a blow to progressives.
... and progressives just hate getting blown...
''I think that America is looking at us and saying, wait a minute, we lost the election, and we know that the Senate lost seats, now, the House we picked up seats, right? But I think they are saying, we are looking towards y'all to show us you're willing to shake it up if it means we can move this country forward,'' Crockett said.
I'm guessing America is looking up and saying "holy spit, glad there's more of us than them!"
Crockett said the Oversight Committee would be in good hands under Connolly, but said switching up the leadership more frequently would benefit Democrats.
