New book on Pelosi details fraught relationship with AOC and the Squad
CNN
It's no secret that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York have had a tense relationship.
But a new book out April 20 by USA Today's Susan Page reveals just how fraught the relationship got in 2019 between the speaker and the four then-freshmen progressive lawmakers known as the Squad, Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, according to an excerpt published in Politico Magazine on Thursday. In the excerpt, a chapter titled "Inside Nancy Pelosi's War with the Squad," Page wrote that Pelosi appeared to mock the four progressive lawmakers in a baby voice for members, after the four squad members intentionally blocked the speaker on an immigration bill in 2019.More Related News
