Nancy Pelosi appeared to take another jab at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to have taken another jab at Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  When speaking at the London School of Economics and Political Science on Monday, Pelosi stated: "When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's, however she's a wonderful member of Congress, I think all of our colleagues will attest. But those are districts that are solidly Democratic. This glass of water would win with a 'D' next to it in those districts."  "And not to diminish the exuberance and the personality and the rest of Alexandria and the other members…but the 43 districts, we want 43 net gain of 40, were right down the middle mainstream," Pelosi continued. In an interview with CBS' '60 Minutes' that aired the night prior, Pelosi also seemed to balk at the prospect of Ocasio-Cortez having the power to wield.  When Lesley Stahl commented, "You have these wings-- AOC, and her group on one side," Pelosi quickly remarked, "That's like five people."  "No, it's -- the progressive group is more than five," Stahl further said. Pelosi then stated, "Well, the progressive -- I'm a progressive. Yeah."
