Fightin' words! AOC directs her outrage at the DCCC after Nancy Pelosi endorses Joe Kennedy over Ed Markey — and we're here for it

In case there was any doubt as to the Squad’s confidence in their ability to dictate the direction of the Democratic Party, here’s AOC hiking up her britches to wag her finger at the Dem establishment.

Nancy Pelosi has endorsed Joe Kennedy over Ed Markey in the Democratic U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts:

And AOC’s none too pleased:

No one gets to complain about primary challenges again. ?

So @dccc, when can we expect you to reverse your blacklist policy against primary orgs?

Because between this & lack of care around @IlhanMN’s challenger, it seems like less a policy and more a cherry-picking activity. https://t.co/xSneSK8H2q

Ilhan’s multimillion challenge was bankrolled by DC lobbyists & dark money groups.

He blatantly admitted to using shell corporations to get around the DCCC blacklist, which all but means his vendors work w/ the Democratic Party.

Yet DCCC hasn’t enforced policy. I wonder why ?

Looks like she’s revving up her minions …

Yeah, give them hypocrites the bizness!

"The Democratic Party is “absolutely united,” New York congresswoman said" – @AOC, yesterday

"So @dccc [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee], when can we expect you to reverse your blacklist policy against primary orgs?" – @AOC, today

Ironically, Pelosi's attempt to move the Democratic away from the progressive wing with her Kennedy endorsement may have just removed the barriers to progressive challengers against her caucus https://t.co/ajEm9CpVW0

Well, all we know for sure is that we’re not going to stand in the way of a good, old-fashioned Democratic catfight.
