Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have set a date to meet one-on-one and hash out their disagreements.
The New York and California Democrats have feuded in recent weeks over mutual feelings of disrespect. According to reports, the two lawmakers have agreed to meet together on Thursday, July 25.
Ocasio-Cortez began a public feud with Pelosi after the speaker told the Democrat caucus in the House to refrain from tweeting about other members. Pelosi’s instruction came after Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff compared centrist Democrats to “segregationists.”

Ocasio-Cortez accused Pelosi of “singling out of newly elected women of color.” She backed off the criticism with an interview with CBS on Wednesday, saying, “I’ll clarify: I did not say that she was disrespectful of women of color. I found some of the comments disrespectful and that was my personal opinion.”
