WOMP WOMP! Gerry Connolly Beats AOC for Ranking Democrat on House Oversight Committee (Thanks, Pelosi!)

The other day we told you about Nancy Pelosi spiking AOC's attempt to become the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Pelosi, who is still recovering from hip replacement surgery following a fall in Luxembourg, backed Gerry Connolly instead.

And now Connolly has won the seat:

Whoops.

The entrenched old establishment candidate won. @AOC perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your positions and your loyalty, see the light of #MAGA, and become a Republican instead.

Yeah, that'll never happen.

Proving once again that a wounded Pelosi is still more powerful than a healthy AOC

Exactly what we were thinking.

That says a-lot about her position within the party.

In short, even Democrats want to see AOC bartending again. 😂

Pelosi is vile, but she knows how to play the game.

If she thought AOC would beneficial to the Democratic Party, she'd elevate her.

Clearly, Pelosi does not.

Good, AOC should have been been booted after her many incidences of inciting violence resulting in deaths and for raising bail $ for criminals after they harmed the police and citizens.

She hasn't even been censured over some of the stuff she's said.

And they think she could run for president in 28 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/TGwjcBh2Eg

Yeah, no.

Before you all celebrate about AOC (which I am, too), Connolly is no gem either. https://t.co/aylGfUiIGU

He's a Dem, so not being a gem is a given.

She lost by a landslide - this should be a 🚨 for NYC Democrats who think progressivism is where it's at. It's not. https://t.co/e3OCVn6HVQ

They've learned nothing from 2024.

And we're okay with that.
