In reply to the discussion: Monica Crowley: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a "monster" that Democrats won't be able to control [View all]Caliman73
(11,760 posts)They love it. They cannot avoid it like moths to the flame. They say AOC is a monster the Democratic Party will not be able to control when they first unleashed the Tea Party which basically split the Republican Party in two, then kicked out any "moderates". They they embraced people more extreme than the Tea Party, the Freedom Caucus people who finished the job of the Tea baggers. Then they nominated Trump who blew off any veneer left.
AOC is active and is pushing hard. Pelosi doesn't seem to be trying too hard to "control" her. Certainly some of her colleagues do not like the attention and yes, she can stand to focus her message on what she wants to do and not berate Democratic colleagues who aren't ready to move at such a quick pace. She is not however, some monster that needs to be controlled. She is saying fairly standard progressive things. It is the media that is saying how "radical" she is. They like the conflict and they will continue to manufacture it.
Republicans need some serious therapy to deal with their deep psychological problems so that they can stop projecting.
