Dem strategist says Ocasio-Cortez wont be an effective legislator

Democratic strategist Kristen Hawn said on Monday that she did not believe Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) would be an effective legislature. The way shes going about the legislating process I dont think shes going to be that effective. I really dont Hawn a senior adviser at Agenda Global told Hill.TVs Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on Rising. I would actually pose that she has already had a major defeat. She came out immediately against the pay-go rules being reinstated in the rules package was soundly defeated behind the scenes when more moderate members of the caucus including members of the Blue Dog coalition went to the Speaker and said we have the votes to take this rules package down if you do not include it she said. It was a huge defeat. Nobodys talking about. Ocasio-Cortez was one of three Democrats who voted against a Democratic rules package last week that included the pay-as-you-go" provision which requires a point of order against any bill that raises the deficit or reduces a surplus. The new rules were approved 234-197. Hawns comments come after the youngest congresswoman ever elected wrapped up an eventful week in Washington with a 60 Minutes interview in which she discussed hiking taxes on the wealthy and said there is no question that President Trump is racist. There is no question shes influential. She uses social media in a way that really connects with people. How she is going to be successful legislatively in the House has yet to be seen Hawn said.
