@metal-brain saidHer ouster should be a slam-dunk, then.
That would be inciting domestic terrorism.
Are you sure that is true?

The post that was quoted here has been removedThe DNC just wants to see all Progressives voted out , not murdered .
The DNC is the left wing and the RNC is the right wing of the Corporate Party .
Progressives , like Omar and Tlaib , are obstacles to the intent of the "Dems" to serve their corporate masters . They refuse to "play ball" .
That is my view as a Progressive who feels that Omar and Tlaib have not done as they should to press the Progressive agenda . Medicare for All in particular .

Cutting through all the partisan political BS, a person has been selected by a political group, supported by an appropriate number of voters, and is now a member of a group which makes decisions on behalf of the whole country.
Yes, she is certainly not a person of suitable character and intellect to be in that position, but true democracy gives her a right to be there.
She needs to be prevented from doing damage while she's there, and Nancy Pelosi clearly recognises that.
The post that was quoted here has been removedThese are, of course, gross exaggerations. Tlaib in particular got rather plum committee assignments being named to both the House Committee on Financial Services and the influential House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Both are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus which has 94 House members or about 43% of the Democratic members.
They are hardly as despised and ostracized from the Democratic Party as Duchy, with her tendency for hyperbole, claims.
EDIT: Nancy Pelosi endorsed Tlaib over Jones in the 2020 Democratic primary. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/pelosi-endorses-rep-tlaib-in-primary-fight-moves-to-help-members-of-the-squad/2020/07/29/028b5692-d1c6-11ea-9038-af089b63ac21_story.html
And as the story makes clear, Omar as well against her primary challenger.
