Author stands by claim Pelosi tried to sabotage AOC's Green New Deal
Fox News
Despite pushback from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, author Isaac Dovere is standing by his new book in which he reports that Pelosi tried to sabotage AOC.
Pelosi asked Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., to back out of a Green New Deal event with Ocasio-Cortez because Pelosi was "anxious about the new congresswoman's notoriety becoming actual power," according to Dovere's new book, "Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Trump," obtained by Fox News. "In February 2019, Pelosi called Ed Markey the night before he was scheduled to help roll out the Green New Deal. She asked him to hold off. She wanted more substantive policy. The politics weren't good right then. Don’t give the platform to Ocasio-Cortez, she urged, anxious about the new congresswoman's notoriety becoming actual power," Dovere writes in the book.More Related News
