PJ Media "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that radical Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pramila Jayapal were vying to be the “queen bee” of the left in Congress, and it almost cost the party their majority in 2020.
"The revelation appears in the new book This Will Not Pass by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns.
"Pelosi is worried that her party’s radical cultural policies will doom Democrats going forward."
She reportedly told one senior lawmaker that Democrats had alienated Asian and Hispanic immigrants with loose talk of socialism and callousness about abortion.
The 82-year-old Italian Catholic speaker said that with immigrant communities, ‘Democrats had not been careful enough about the way they spoke about abortion among new Americans who were devout people of faith,’ according to excerpts obtained by Punchbowl News.
Pelosi’s chief spokesperson Drew Hammill told DailyMail.com of the excerpts: ‘Many books will be written about the challenges of legislating during the pandemic and a period of unprecedented Republican obstruction, and we won’t be commenting on the works that substitute gossip for fact.’
"Many Hispanic immigrants have come from failed socialist states in Central and South America. The last thing they want to see is a government going down the exact same path that caused them to leave their homes in the first place.".. . .
