She accuses them of prioritising symbolic gestures over actual legislative achievements. "While there are people who have a large number of Twitter followers, what's important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the House," the California Democrat said.She did not mention Ms Ocasio-Cortez by name in the interview.Ms Pelosi added that she believes progressives are "fine" after she told them they needed to look into introducing moderate legislation that have a higher chance of passing the House."As I say to my own district, 'You go out and elect 218 people, just like San Francisco, then we can talk,'" Ms Pelosi added.This isn't the first time the House Speaker derided Ms Ocasio-Cortez.

"The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?" This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
