Henry Cuellar, the conservative, antiabortion Democratic congressman — who Nancy Pelosi called a “fighter for hardworking families” — has shocked the labor movement with a radical bill seeking to eviscerate workers’ rights that would make the Koch brothers proud.
The scandal is that the Democratic national leadership fought hard to help him get elected. They did this not in a general election — against a Republican who might well have been even worse — but in a primary against a challenger, Jessica Cisneros, an immigration rights lawyer backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Justice Democrats.
Bernie also endorsed his opponent Jessica Cisneros in the Dem primary, but Pelosi's endorsement put Cuellar over the top and he survived for another two years in congress to continue to gut the dem agenda
