Nancy, you are looking at the new Democrat party.
Via Fox News:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D- Calif., on Wednesday appeared to downplay the ramifications of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s stunning victory in New York’s 14th Congressional District, saying voters went for the left-of-left candidate in one district and the outcome was not the seismic shift portrayed in the media.
“The fact that in a very progressive district in New York, it went more progressive — and (incumbent Rep.) Joe Crowley is a progressive — but to the left of Joe Crowley is about that district,” Pelosi said. “It is not to be viewed as something that stands for everything else.”
Crowley’s loss to a Democratic socialist was considered a shocking defeat. He’d been considered a contender for speaker if Democrats retook the House in the November midterms.[…]
Pelosi was asked Wednesday about the Republican notion that socialism was afoot in her party and she denied the theory.
“It’s ascendent in that district, perhaps. But I don’t accept any characterization of our party presented by the Republicans. So let me reject that right now. Our party is a big tent, our districts are very different, one from the other,” she said.
