Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, who edged out New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) for a top Democratic post in December before stepping down, died from esophageal cancer on Wednesday, becoming the third Democrat to die in office this term.
The late congressman made headlines in December when, with support from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, he defeated AOC to lead the House Oversight Committee, despite reportedly violating stock trading laws, according to Raw Story. AOC would have been the youngest Democrat to chair a House committee at 35 years old.
We need age caps now. Same retirement age as pilots. These people will not even live long enough to deal with the consequences of their shitty policies.
They’re burning the building down on their way out, and it blows my mind that we have formed a mob to physically remove these corrupt dinosaurs from office.
it wont matter, instead we will get two faced lobbyists stooge like harris. bernie is senior enough but they never let him anywhere near a role of impact even when he is worshiped by a huge portion of voter base both on the left and right.
new dnc is run by ultra rich for the ultra rich, they don’t care about defeating trump. only in keeping out actual leaders that voters want.
