Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was on “60 Minutes” on Sunday and she took a shot at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s support in Congress:
Lesley Stahl: “You have these wings– AOC, and her group on one side”
Pelosi: “That’s like five people”
HAHAHA! Have a watch:

She also took a shot at socialism, saying “that is not the view of the Democratic Party”:
“I do reject socialism as an economic system. If people have that view, that’s their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party.”

Waleed Shahid, a former AOC staffer, was not happy with the remarks:
That's quite a way to welcome a new generation of mostly progressive women of color entering the Democratic Party who are activating young people, people of color, and working-class voters of all backgrounds.
