Pelosi Excludes Ocasio-Cortez From New Climate Change Committee

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) excluded democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) from serving on the new climate change committee on Thursday, as she announced the Democratic members who will serve on the committee.

The New York Post reports that Pelosi “threw some serious shade on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — denying her a coveted spot on a special panel on climate change and brushing off her Green New Deal.”
