First, the Democratic-led House rejected AOC and her squad’s efforts to curb President Trump’s border crackdown, then they nicknamed her “Goomba”.

On Thursday a number of Democrats stood by Nancy Pelosi after Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) played the race card on the Speaker of the House.

“I think the speaker is doing a hell of a job under some very trying and tough circumstances,” Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) said.

“I first met her in 2011. You can say a lot of things about Nancy Pelosi, one thing you cannot say about Nancy Pelosi is that she – I’ve never seen her do anything that had racial overtones.”

Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) also rejected the notion Pelosi was singling out new members of color and found the speaker to be supportive to Ocasio-Cortez and her “squad,”, Backroom Buzz reported.

On Friday two amendments that Ocasio-Cortez authored to a defense authorization bill failed to get enough Democrat support from her colleagues on the House floor.

According to US Breaking News, the Bronx Democrat, who has called for defunding ICE and disbanding the Department of Homeland Security, pushed an amendment to prohibit Trump from deploying troops on the southern border for immigration enforcement.

The Democratic majority House rejected the Simpleminded Socialist Democrat colleagues measure 179-241.

Yet still, AOC doesn’t know when her fellow Democrats are sending a message, because she tried spinning it:

“We’re in a moment where immigration is a tough issue in a lot of communities and it’s unfortunate that in this go around we weren’t able to reverse some of the Trump-era rules,”

“But the vote count itself was very encouraging … the next time we go around, it’s much more likely to pass,”

Apparently, now in response, an unnamed senior Dem aide is texting around a photo of a Goomba puppet from the video game Mario Bros. to slam Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “puppet” of “elitist white liberals”.

“For those curious, here’s the image of the Super Mario Bros. Goomba the senior aide texted me”, Scott Wong tweeted.

“I noticed this is one of the very first images that pops up if you do a google image search for “puppet.” If anyone is wondering why the senior aide chose a Goomba, I assume that’s probably why”, Eddie Zipperer tweeted.

But the anonymous Dem aide is already being called a racist for it:

It’s incredible that there has been barely any outrage from lawmakers or pundits about a senior Democratic aide sending around this appalling image to the press about”, Waleed Shahid tweeted.

Even though Waleed Shahid called it racist, he still shared it with everyone.

Although not everyone thought it was racist.

“It’s a good image, thank you for sharing”, Boomieleaks tweeted.

“Anyway, we NEED a photoshop of Goomba hitting Nancy Pelosi on the head as she comes out of this hole”, another twitter user tweeted.

While some tried to defend Ocasio-Cortez, others took sides with Goomba, claiming it was offensive to Goomba to compare him to AOC.
