Pelosi Downplays Differences with Ocasio-Cortez After Talk

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is downplaying any differences
   with high-profile progressive lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, saying
   she had a "nice meeting" Friday with the social media dynamo who's made
   some tart observations about the Democratic leadership team.

   Pelosi told reporters that "I don't think we have that many
   differences" despite some sharp words back and forth recently with
   "AOC," as she's referred to by her 4.9 million followers on Twitter.

   "In our caucus we have our differences. Respect that instead of making
   a big issue of it," Pelosi told reporters, displaying a little
   exasperation with the media's fixation with their relationship. "We
   just had a meeting to clear the air."
