Annoyed at AOC? He’s the one to blame.

Nancy Pelosi is obviously having difficulty controlling the increasingly acrimonious infighting between factions of the House Democratic caucus. Most observers assume that the primary cause of this discord is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the cadre of far-left first-termers collectively known as “the Squad.” But its actual source is Saikat Chakrabarti, the prime mover behind a Tennessee-based PAC called the “Justice Democrats,” whose support was largely responsible for getting Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Ro Khanna, and Pramila Jayapal elected last November.
Chakrabarti has now set up shop in the House, ostensibly as AOC’s chief of staff.Chakrabarti’s previous HQ was a Knoxville address out of which the Justice Democrats and another PAC operated side by side with a dozen congressional campaign committees.
This arrangement flouted a variety of campaign finance laws and prompted several Federal Election Commission complaints, including one alleging that Chakrabarti set up a $1 million slush fund. But this sort of skullduggery is standard practice among Democrats. What exacerbated the already tense atmosphere in their House caucus was Chakrabarti’s response to the $4.6 billion border aid package passed by Congress last month.

My Take - Please view my post of July 4, 2019, The Brains Behind AOC, showing how big a deal this guy and his crowd are. AOC interviewed for this job, and this guy is in reality her boss, not the other way around. How long will that last? Who knows? Rahn Emmanuel calls Chakrabarti a "snot nosed punk", which really applies across the board to that whole crowd. However, the real question is how long will these "snot nosed punks" last in Congress?
Their weirdness and arrogance kind of reminds me of Dennis Kucinich when he was elected Mayor of Cleveland. That was disastrous for Cleveland and Kucinich, even though he managed to get himself elected some year later to Congress from the only district in Ohio that would elect him. That was the same district that elected Mary Rose Oakar to the Congress over and over again.
The Ohio Legislature gerrymandered his district and he was out.
The lesson to learn. When you take a shot at the king you had better not miss. Soon it will be Pelosi and Company's turn.
