Connolly secured his position on the pivotal Oversight Committee after leaders in the House Democratic caucus—most notably former Speaker Nancy Pelosi—backed Connolly’s bid over Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

While other Democratic leaders have been fumbling for a response to Trump, the administration has been in a public feud with Ocasio-Cortez. Tom Homan, Trump’s handpicked immigration czar, has even called on the Department of Justice to investigate the congresswoman after she advised migrant communities of their constitutional rights.

In contrast to Connolly’s pro-compliance message, Ocasio-Cortez recently wrote, “America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.”

    I didn’t say anything of his qualifications or history. I said I think his statements and future plans sound like more of the same ineffective lip service and rightward drift.

      Statement

      You’re judging him on one quick answer to a question while he was campaigning and ignoring, well, literally everything else.

      And his future plans is literally the opposite of what you’re saying, because that doesn’t win elections.

      Again, you can look at his long history in Minnesota

        No, statements. I’ve opined on multiple things he’s said here in response to you in this thread. Your replies seem very odd at this point as it almost seems like you’re responding to a discussion that isn’t even happening.

          This thread is 2 days old by now, but I scrolled. Didn’t see anything that’s not the single comment

          But hey. Maybe I’m missing it.

          If so, it would be absolutely trivial for you to provide a link to something else he said that you take issue with.

          But I don’t think you will.
