The CBS Television Network Tweet on the Nancy Pelosi “like five people” explanation of the radicals swept into power in 2018 Midterm elections tells the whole story of what the Democrat Party and the mainstream media are really up to:
The CBS Tweet sent out 7:15 p.m., Sunday night:
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tried to tamp down the perceived influence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive freshman Democrats, saying their wing in Congress was "like five people.” (Fox News, April 14, 2019) “Speaking with CBS News' Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes," Pelosi said the 29-year-old congresswoman from New York didn't have a significant impact on the Democratic Party. The House speaker also said she rejected socialism "as an economic system.”
"You have these wings, AOC and her group on one side," Stahl told Pelosi, to which the 79-year-old replied: "That's like five people.”There are no wings in the Democrat Party, the Progressives and Social Democrats in power are part and parcel of the whole vulture. Trying to sound like the investigative journalist which she is clearly not, Stahl followed up with the following:
"No, it's the progressive group, it's more than five," the interviewer pushed back. Pelosi contended that she herself is a progressive.” (Fox News) “The speaker added that she believes Congressional Democrats "by and large ... know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream," and said she "reject[s] socialism as an economic system." "If people have that view, that's their view," she said. "That is not the view of the Democratic Party.”

“When pressed on whether Congress has been productive, she said Democrats regained control of the House only three months ago, and that things were moving. She added: "The power of the Speaker is awesome.” (Fox News)The serpents came hissing out of the mouths of both Pelosi and Stahl during this ‘interview’ which could have been called ‘Stahl Trying to Save the Speaker’s Bacon’. Mere hours before the Stahl interview, the CBS crime drama The Good Fight tweeted an image on Friday from a recent episode, entitled, “The One Where Diane Joins the Resistance.” The image showed a character pointing to a list of “target words” that included the phrases “Assassinate President Trump” and “Eliminate Mar-a-Lago.” The tweet, which has since been deleted, sparked backlash among Twitter users, many of whom reported CBS to the Secret Service.
“In the episode from which the image in the CBS tweet is derived, the show’s character Diane “is encouraged to ‘do something’ after meeting the leader of a female resistance group whose aim is to sink POTUS’ approval rating,” according to the episode’s synopsis. “Diane, she just used five target words in one sentence,” one of the NSA researchers listening to Diane’s call says to another researcher before pointing to a list of target words. The camera pans over to the list, which reads in part: “Assassinate” “President” “Trump”They’re all—Democrats and mainstream and social media alike—in on the Act that’s called taking America down by any means possible. The Progressive Democrats and the Socialist Democrats are not fighting off each other, they’re fighting tooth and nail—together— for the same Get-Rid-of-Trump agenda. Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the two other radicals are not just the bit players in Speaker Pelosi’s “like five people” description to Stahl, they’re front and centre, in the Battle To Take Down America. They remain totally unaware that We The People, not so easily fooled, already see them coming.
