WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she “had a nice meeting” with high-profile progressive lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Pelosi downplayed any differences with the freshman lawmaker after a half-hour meeting today with “AOC.” Ocasio-Cortez recently criticized Pelosi, saying she felt Pelosi had been “outright disrespectful” by “the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color” for criticism.
