Insulting Ocasio-Cortez: Pelosi said at London School of Economics that a “glass of water” could have won Ocasio-Cortez’s solidly Democratic  district's seat, ignoring that 28-year-old Ocasio-Cortez defeated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in the primaries; Ocasio-Cortez won because people are desperate for real change, not more establishment centrists like Crowley, who went off to join a corporate lobbying firm for fossil fuel industry.
