Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "I haven't had the opportunity to speak with [Rep. Ilhan Omar] to see the nature of her comment and, as is my custom with my colleagues, I call them in before I call them out so I'll look forward to hearing from her." pic.twitter.com/ZJcgtXzMUG— The Hill (@thehill) April 12, 2019

That’s pathetic but that clip isn’t post-trump’s tweet, is it? Everything else I’m seeing on Twitter is giving the impression Pelosi hasn’t made a response to the latest retweeted video

Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won't back down to Trump's racism and hate, and neither will we. The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end.— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) April 13, 2019

for posterity
The President is inciting violence against a sitting Congresswoman—and an entire group of Americans based on their religion. It's disgusting. It's shameful. And any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) April 13, 2019

Its unrealistic for Schumer or Biden to defend Ilhan, come on now
Pelosi. well, she got her magazine cover - though it was kind of surprising she did that I thought!

For all the talk we hear from Pelosi, Hoyer, Schumer and the rest of Democratic leadership about the importance of party “unity,” they never seem to think it’s important to unify behind members who are progressive and/or not DCCC frontliners.— Every Billionaire Is A Policy Failure (@DanRiffle) April 13, 2019

They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse. However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored.

more of this plz
Long-time New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel has drawn a primary challenger in his 2020 reelection bid who is supported by a key group that backed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in her upset win.
Middle school principal and former teacher Jamaal Bowman launched his progressive campaign on Tuesday to represent New York’s 16th congressional district, pitting himself against Engel, who has served 16 terms.
Bowman’s platform shows support for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, increased investment in public schools, free college and reforms to the criminal justice system, according to his video.

Pelosi & Schumer’s tone is procedural updates, boring partisan jabs & patronizing ‘you dont understand how the game works’ head-patting.

If there's one thing missing from US politics atm, it is rage. Everyone is so polite these day that it's hard to get anyone on social media to even admit there are any problems with how things are, let alone work up a good frothing rage over those problems.
