The following article, WATCH: Pelosi Openly Mocks Ocasio-Cortez On ’60 Minutes’ — It Was Absolutely Brutal, was first published on Flag And Cross.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) just broke dozens of hearts around the nation by once again mocking freshman Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY).
Pelosi did it on “60 Minutes” with host, Lesley Stahl.
It was blatant. And it was obvious.
In other words, Nancy needs AOC to know who is boss.
Stahl: “So you are contending with a group in Congress: Over here on the left flank are these self-described socialists, on the right, these moderates. And you yourself said that you’re the only one who can unify everybody. And the question is can you?”
Pelosi: “By and large, whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know that we have to hold the center. That we have to go down the mainstream.”
Stahl: “You have these wings– AOC, and her group on one side–.”
Pelosi: “That’s like five people.”
And boom goes tthe dynamite!
OUCH! Five whole people, huh? You just know that has to hurt Ocasio-Cortez’s feelings.

Pelosi has already rained on Alexandria’s parade when it comes to her “Green New Deal.”
She recently did it again.
AOC may have a large presence on Twitter, but Nancy couldn’t care less. Here’s why…
“While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what’s important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House,” @SpeakerPelosi told me.

On Nancy’s opposition to the “Green New Deal”…
From Daily Wire:
Pelosi has been coy about her support for the GND (or lack thereof), calling the plan “enthusiastic” when it first debuted earlier in February, and has regularly distanced herself from Ocasio-Cortez — and she hasn’t tabled the Green New Deal for a vote, leaving it effectively dead as an answer to “climate change.”
This week, though, Pelosi unleashed her characteristic subtle criticism on Ocasio-Cortez and her partner in the Green New Deal, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), in an interview with a reporter from “Rolling Stone” magazine, who asked her why she had yet to allow House Democrats to dicuss the plan openly.
“The Green New Deal,” Pelosi said, goes “beyond our charge.” and “is not what we hope to achieve.”
This is not exactly the first time a member of AOC’s own party has told her to stop. Not even close, actually.
The “Green New Deal,” if somehow passed by Congress, was thought to have cost U.S. taxpayers tens of trillions of dollars.
A new report suggests the real number could nearly hit $100 trillion. That would come to, roughly, $650,000 per American household.
Ocasio-Cortez thinks the 22nd Amendment was put in place to ensure far-left President FDR wasn’t re-elected.
She said that on live TV during a town hall event on MSNBC.
But wait. There’s a problem.
Tom Elliott tweeted:
According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
“They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected.”
(Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947)
