"I think it’s quite real,” said Ocasio-Cortez of progressive frustration with Pelosi. “I believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure that we are, that — that we are holding this president to account.”

“Animus” is a strong word for the progressive unrest within the party, and the selection of that word could easily be interpreted as having been intended to send a message to the Speaker. Which is part of why Karl immediately asked about sending an actual message to the Speaker."

statement doesn't seem that harsh, it is politics after all
