pelosi. yeah. trump might have sort of changed this battle for a few minutes, but this war between the democrats, this is not over. it s sort of just been put on hold for now. and as you can see right there, going to potentially be escalating. ocasio-cortez and pelosi hadn t spoken since february when pelosi actually offered her a position on a climate panel and aoc said i don t want it basically because it doesn t have enough teeth for me. pelosi was really angry about that. ever since then, there s been a lot of snide comments about ocasio-cortez and the squad and, you know, i asked her that in the hallway just a few weeks ago. i guess it was even last week. i can t believe it was only last week. her answer was, you know, i don t know what to do. i don t know if i should approach her, but right now i don t want to. and clearly right there she s saying she s willing to have a conversation, but who s going to reach out? and unless somebody does, this cold war is going to continue.
