Pelosi urges House Democrats to avoid Twitter fights within the family

House Democratic leaders urged rank-and-file lawmakers against an intraparty war, especially on Twitter, apparently aiming their advice at the ultra-progressive freshman wing led by Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, D-New York.

“As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency,” Pelosi told the caucus during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, according to a source. “That civility is something that this caucus should be leading the way on.”
