that just barely gained control. if you look at the number of closed societies in virginia and skpra so and oh states. this is not a democratic caucus that can afford to be divided. i m just wondering when does nancy pelosi, who i ll just say i love nancy. i have had great respect for her for years, but i will tell you that every time newt gingrich said something negative about us, we made sure we would hit pack as hard or even harder in the press and on the floor. so she sads some demeaning things to these four members. the four members have said many things to pelosi. when to they day sown and say we can all help re other. let s start working together. alexandria ocasio-cortez made
an interesting comment in an interview last week. she said a lot of this is premised on the idea that i have a relationship with nancy pelosi at all. she hasn t talked to her since the winter time. and i think that tellhouse a lot about how this rep has been mayed out. i think thr some risks here for pelosi. so far it s been this uneasy where they have watched some messaging victories. they have seen her stride out of the white house and have her be a hero for the same liberal base that sent them to washington. but these comments are getting very dismissive. pelosi simply looks at the world in a completely different way. and i think my question about this going forward is the same one that you had just then about newt gingrich, which is we re living in a different type of media environment and world.
democrat in the room yesterday said pelosi s remarks were aimed at alexandria ocasio-cortez s chief of staff, who attackeds pelosi and compared democrats to segregationists in a tweet over the weekend. he tweeted, they certainly seem hellen bent to do skblak brown people did to what was done in the 40s. the tweet was later deleted. there are some parallels to your experience in congress and newt gingri gingrich. all that is new is all that is old is new. . you could go back and look at things that were written about a group of us in 1995 and 1996 who were constantly after newt gingri
gingrich. we didn t like his negotiations with bill clinton and we were constantly complaining. and what it required, we department have twitter, but we had role call. we tell them things that would show up in the paper the next morning. and let me tell you something. having a big headline about unrest inside your caucus was far more frightening than a tweet. what it required, i give credit to this day, newt never took the attacks personally. we d fight and he d say, okay, let s figure that out and colt to a truce and that lasted for about four years. but it was managed in some time. and we had to do that because we didn t have a huge majority. kasie hunt, same thing here. it seems for a democratic party
where you come to make a reputation. i always thought the model of that gene mccarthy saying was president george bush. he loved being in the people s house, he loved it in houston. you heard the story coming from the gym yes. and the house was a more college yal body. until newt came along. if he had been elected as senate, he might never have been president or vice president. so he may have been lucky to have avoided that office. i knew he stuck to his pals, he was skull and bones from ohio, another guy, a democrat he was close to, he also stuck with ross when he got in trouble i wouldn t be surprised at all. and allen simpson, close as well. he was a genuine friend. let s bring in george herbert walker bush on his relationship with president clinton, the man
