AOC and Other New House Progressives Tweet Dissatisfaction w/Orientation at Harvard

[MarcATL]

"Newly elected progressive members of the US House of Representatives, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, abandoned their new-member orientation at Harvard Kennedy School on Tuesday night to lead a rally in support of single-payer healthcare, gun control, and laws to fight climate change outside in the freezing cold."

• A group of newly elected progressive House Democrats are protesting their own congressional orientation program at Harvard Kennedy School this week.
• The future lawmakers have staged rallies and are tweeting their protests of the bipartisan events, which are cosponsored by the American Enterprise Institute and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
• "Lobbyists are here. Goldman Sachs is here. Where's labor? Activists? Frontline community leaders?" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday.

Guess we can all see that neither of them will be on any committee's that have power.

They sure aren't very smart and have no idea how to get along with the rest of the House.

They are going to need all the luck they can get.
