It’s been a rough few months for Nancy Pelosi and AOC, but things are finally looking up:

Ocasio-Cortez said "the goal is just to open a line of communication" and that "working people have a seat at the table in what's happening in Congress." https://t.co/MNhDtSFlPg — CNN (@CNN) July 26, 2019

More from CNN:

At a news conference later Friday, Pelosi disputed the idea that there was any “hatchet” that required burying between the two lawmakers — despite times in the past month when they’ve both criticized each other publicly — and described Ocasio-Cortez as “very gracious.” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN on Thursday that “the goal is just to open a line of communication” and that “working people have a seat at the table in what’s happening in Congress.”

Just look at how open the lines of communication are, you guys:

Why, Nancy’s practically an honorary Squad member now!

Snort.

"Sorry I called you racist." "Accepted. Sorry I called you a bats**t crazy lunatic." "Acce….wait, what?" https://t.co/gCNDryGSlc — Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) July 26, 2019

So nice for the leader of the Democratic party to take time out of her busy schedule to meet with Nancy Pelosi. https://t.co/lbfU4UdfHV — Sarah Matthews (@SarahAMatthews1) July 26, 2019

That awkward moment when you meet someone irl you've been beefing with on Twitter. We've all been there. https://t.co/xjsMjOi9RR — Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) July 26, 2019

Hahahahaha This is called a false smile. Notice that the smile doesn't reach either's eyes? They hate *HATE* each other. https://t.co/r2CAxz4hUP — Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) July 26, 2019

Hahah this photo op is as fake as AOC crying at a fence https://t.co/tvMqaYnqxJ — Bob Malak (@bob_malak) July 26, 2019

Can we get a PolitiFact ruling on the sincerity in those smiles?

It's the "Move along, nothing to see here" phase of the downfall of the modern Democratic Party power structure https://t.co/QVuu4A61MC — Jeff Poor (@jeff_poor) July 26, 2019

Update:

Stephen Miller, aka @redsteeze, has spotted something else in that awkward photo:

We’re not saying … we’re just saying.

Update:

It doesn’t take a body language expert to see that these two women are not happy to be in each other’s company. And it doesn’t take a genius to see that the photo is perfect fodder for Photoshoppers:
