In January, four weeks after the Washington Examiner magazine launched nationwide, we ran a cover story under the headline “Hostile Takeover” about four extreme young left-wingers barging Nancy Pelosi and the old guard aside to seize control of the Democratic Party.

We focused on Reps. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Tulsi Gabbard. The last of these turned out to be less of a force (although she is running for president), but the other three are members of the so-called “Squad,” which is now the center of political attention. Our analysis of Democratic infighting between fearful left-wing leaders and aggressive far-Left insurgents is looking more insightful every day.
