Is there anything better than internecine warfare? That’s not a real question because of course there isn’t. Well…unless it comes along with a hardcore burn. Which this did.
Nancy Pelosi was interviewed by “60 Minutes” this week and the clip aired tonight. Boy howdy it’s good watchin’.
Stahl asked Pelosi about the progressive left wing of her party – you know, the AOC wing – and Pelosi blew them off like dust off her shoulder.

“By and large, whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know that we have to hold the center. That we have to be m– go down the mainstream,” was a good line. But…
When Stahl said, “You have these wings– AOC, and her group on one side,” Pelosi chimed in with a finishing move.
“That’s like five people.”
She took a shot at AOC’s Twitter followers last week, too. I’m asking, does it get any better than this?
