The House Democrats’ Twitter account posted a screenshot of a tweet posted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) chief of staff and accused the staffer of “singling out a Native American woman of color.”
In his tweet, Ocasio-Cortez staffer Saikat Chakrabarti called out Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS) for her vote in support of $4.5 billion in funds for immigration agencies. Chakrabarti said Davids’ votes “enable a racist system.”
The tweet from the House Democrats’ official account further illustrates a growing rift between moderate Democrats and the progressive faction growing on the left flank of the party. Ocasio-Cortez and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have been at odds over a number of issues this week. Even President Trump stepped in to defend Pelosi on Friday.
Who is this guy and why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color?
Her name is Congresswoman Davids, not Sharice.
She is a phenomenal new member who flipped a red seat blue.

Stop it. Just Stop! We have bigger fish to fry in case these people haven’t noticed.
Pencils sharpened too sharp break when writing.
If I didn’t know better, I would see a “Dems-in-disarray-coordination”. What I see is sincerity and nuances.
Maybe we should think a little like Uncle Joe Stalin…On October 1941 he would have worked with TROTSKY to keep from being strung up by Hitler.
The dangers we all face from the GOP are about as serious.
Cowboy the fuck up.
(sigh) Circular firing squad of Dems, while the Repubs dance on by and destroy the country.
The Dems need to wait until they have POTUS and both Houses of Congress before they start engaging in intraparty pissing matches.
I’m especially not a fan of an anonymous tweet. At least use your own name and be held accountable for better or worse.
