Clyburn to Ocasio-Cortez: Stay in Your Lane, Little Girl

[SweetSue92]

It's no wonder Congress' approval rating is abysmal. Here you have one Congressman chastising one incoming: remember your place. Remember that you haven't earned a thing, you don't deserve a place of "honor" and I gave you everything you have.

Do any of these ladder-climbers and back-biters realize they work for US? This is infuriating. As a teacher, I too am paid by the taxpayers. The difference is: I see my "constituents" every blessed day, face to face. They can see what I do for their children--and this is how it should be.

These cretins are far, far from their own paycheck-signers and so this is what they care about. Their own egos, committee positions, and making sure the New Girls on the Block knows her place.

Despicable.

PS I am no fan of Ocasio-Cortez, believe me. But if she ends up winning the general in her district, she has earned her place just like Clyburn and should NOT have to answer to him. What is this, anyway? Sheesh.

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn sent a warning shot Wednesday toward a likely incoming freshman who beat one of Clyburn’s fellow members of House leadership in a primary, suggesting she may have a long wait before she has a chance at leadership.

Clyburn, who is the number three Democrat in the House of Representatives, directed the comments at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York candidate who beat Rep. Joe Crowley last month in an upset.

“I would ask her to remember how long I had to wait to get here,” Clyburn said on BuzzFeed News’ AM to DM on Wednesday morning when asked if Ocasio-Cortez would have to wait for her turn at seniority.

“Let’s not forget the history of all of this,” said Clyburn. “And I think that all of the folks who have that mentality seem not to give much respect to those of us who sat in jails, as I did, so that they would have the kind of activities or the kinds of rights that they have today.”

“So do I get any credit for being on the cutting edge of all of that? Or should the credit go to my children and grandchildren who are the beneficiaries of it? I think that we have to balance this out.”

It's just like every other business or organization. There is a pecking order, and newbie's have to spend time learning the ropes and prove themselves before they can be taken serious by the senior members.

That's just how the world works. ....

Doesn't need to become an "expert", but her having close to reasonable knowledge on anything may help.
Ocasio-Cortez wrong on several counts about unemployment

 

[bendog]

She'll win. She's no more nutty in her way than Jim "locker room" Jeffords is in his. The House has always been full of characters. The real action today is in the Senate. We still have Obamacare, but both parties rue that to actually accomplish meaningful reform we have to have a bipartisan effort. And they've dismantled the filibuster.

Not really though. If she is elected to Congress, her vote will count every bit as much as his will. They are really equals. Now, if the Congressmen want to play games with committee positions or whatever, fine. But from the position of their bosses--the American people--there really is no "pecking order". One vote is one vote.

As I said, these people forget themselves.

It's definitely "the movement eats itself".....

 

[easyt65]

IRONIC

Think about this......

A BLACK person tells someone lese to 'know your place'.

A BLACK DEMOCRAT tells a woman to 'know your place'.

When the Democrats lost the House & Pelosi, who was primarily responsible, was booted from her position of House majority leader - the Democrats came to the DNC Minority House seat holder - a BLACK guy - and booted him out so the rich white woman (Pelosi) could have the 2nd highest available House seat Democrats could hold. To pacify the black guy they just screwed out of his position they made-up a position and title and gave it to him. That black guy Pelosi and the Democrats screwed - telling him to 'know his place' and 'assume the position' - was CLYBURN.

bwuhahahaha......

That somehow prohibits them from saying something you don't like? Ocasio-Cortez could use a healthy dose of being put in her place. She's acting like she's some kind of ascendant messiah, when in reality she's nothing more than a peon who got lucky to win a primary in a small district with nearly no turnout. She got a shade less than 16,000 votes. District 14 has a population of nearly 700,000 people. She really has no qualifications to be in Congress, and the Republican she'll be running against has plenty to offer the heavily progressive district. There's a real possibility that her primary win will turn the district red.

The key issues for his campaign focus on economic and social issues that have long been in the news, but politicians never seem to reform or resolve. Among the issues, Pappas noted the importance of establishing a fairer tax system with progressive taxation on corporate profits, establishing tax brackets so that huge corporate profits are taxed at a higher rate. He would also restore the deductibility of state and local taxes for taxpayers in New York and other states, and would make international deals to eliminate tax havens for companies and individuals in the Cayman Islands and other places. Controlling government spending to reduce the tax burden is another issue on Pappas’ agenda. He noted that “the New York City budget is $85 billion; the New York City population is 8.5 million, that works out on average to $10,000 per person or $40,000 for a family of four. Think about that.”

Enforcing anti-trust laws by resisting corporate mergers and monopolies is also on Pappas’ campaign agenda as well as protecting the environment by joining international climate agreements, clearly indicating that he is not a typical Republican candidate. The issue that is most important to Pappas is criminal justice and civil justice reform. He plans to “stop the over-criminalization of America,” noting that the United States “has 25 percent of the world’s prisoners but only 5 percent of the world’s population.” Among the reforms he would see implemented are establishing “humane conditions in prisons” and assisting the “transition to civilian life after release from prison.”​

What's not to like? ...

She's a socialist (commie lite) who wants to give free housing and money to everyone, open the prisons and free the inmates, erase the borders and let anyone in, and tax all citizens for contributing to global warming. ...

Is there some qualifications that she lacks such as being 25 years of age and a resident of the state which includes her district? If not, there is a flaw in your reasoning.

Bravo. If a few more drones figured this out instead of rolling over like a puppy they'd be a lot more accountable.

Racist dems hate Puerto Ricans

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You are responding to something you know nothing about. Clyburn is chastising Cortez because of the way she is treating her fellow members of congress. As one said "we are colleagues not subjects and she is going to have to get along with us." Cortez has imagined herself the boss over the entire congress.

Cortez believes the election to be over when it has barely begun. Crowley is still popular and still running against her. The democrat vote might be split yet.
