Alexandria Donkey-Chompers: Nancy Pelosi Put Me On Committees Which Are Like Totally So Busy! I Think She's Trying to Overwork Me So I Cannot Do My Real Job, Which Is Tweeting and Instagramming.

Ol' Tombstone Teeth is yapping again.

More at the Daily Mail:

Nancy Pelosi delivered a harsh lecture to her Democratic lawmakers, warning them to stop tweeting about their colleagues

'You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it. But do not tweet about our Members and expect us to think that that is just ok,' she said

Pelosi met with Democratic lawmakers at the Capitol Wednesday morning
She warned them to watch their public spats

Her lecture came after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she has not spoken to the speaker in months

She also claimed Democratic leadership gave her prominent committee assignments in an attempt to keep her busy

'I was assigned to some of the busiest committees and four subcommittees. So my hands are full. And sometimes I wonder if they're trying to keep me busy'

The freshman Democrat made her comments to the New Yorker podcast

Ocasio-Cortez also said too much power in Congress is given to the speaker

Pelosi and 'the squad' - four young liberal lawmakers - got in a public feud

'All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world. But they didn't have any following,' Pelosi said of them

She was so busy with her committee homework she only had time to go on to the media and announce her plans to eradicate not just ICE, not just Customs, but DHS as well.

And I don't think she's just talking about the bureaucracy overlaying the individual parts of it.

During an interview with The New Yorker Radio Hour's David Remnick, Ocasio-Cortez appeared to blame the Bush administration for initially forming the agency back in 2002 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11th.

"I feel like we are, at a very, it's a very qualified and supported position, at least in terms of evidence, and in terms of being able to make the argument that we never should've created DHS in the early 2000s," said Ocasio-Cortez. She went on to say that she supported abolishing ICE, a common rallying cry among House Democrats.

"Would you get rid of the Department of Homeland Security, too?" Remnick asked.

"I think so," she replied. "I think we need to undo a lot of the egregious mistakes that the Bush administration did."

Oh, and Ilhan Omar, the Congresswoman who is palpably pro-Al Qaeda, called for ending the Customs and Border Protection service, which just happens to be the organization which would, for example, try to stop a dirty bomb from being smuggled into the country.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., sounded off on Custom and Border Protection (CBP) on Wednesday, calling for its elimination.

CBP has been under fire over alleged conditions at detention centers along the southern border. It has also taken heat over revelations involving a Facebook group where Border Patrol agents made derogatory posts about immigrants and certain lawmakers, including freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Appearing on the BET digital series "Black Coffee," Omar grouped CBP with other "rogue agencies" lacking in accountability and transparency.
