Nancy Pelosi fretted during a meeting with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that "Abolish ICE" had been "injected into American political discourse by the Russians," the book says.
The book says Pelosi “spoke for nearly the entire lunch” when the two first met in San Francisco in July 2018, shortly after her upset primary victory against Rep. Joe Crowley.
“The amount of times she told me that stupid ‘I have protest signs older than you in my basement’ shit,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a text that’s cited in the book.
“Senior members talk to me, [committee] chairs are nice to me, people want to work together,” the congresswoman added.
In May, Business Insider reported that Jeffries was viewed as more of a consensus-builder than Pelosi — not just by progressives but by more moderate members of the party.
“There was a formality and a seniority to her office that gave it kind of this vaunted quality,” Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan said of Pelosi at the time.
Though no longer formally a member of leadership, Pelosi has remained in Congress as a rank-and-file lawmaker since stepping down, and she is running for reelection next year.
