White people. Nobody likes giving up power. And they never see the writing on the wall. The new day arrives and no one has the heart to tell them they and their old tired privileged ways are over.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t think it’s important to impeach an authoritarian president who threatens American liberty, but she does think it’s important to minimize @AOC and other women of color who won extraordinary victories to Congress as “like five people.”
Moore included a clip from Pelosi's interview in his tweet where she said that the progressive flank of the House Democratic Caucus, including freshmen such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), is "like five people."
"I do reject socialism as an economic system. If people have that view, that's their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party," Pelosi said.
"By and large, whatever orientation [House Democrats] came to Congress with, they know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream."
Moore has been an outspoken critic of President Trump since his election.
