WASHINGTON — In a rare moment of public disagreement with members of her own party, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi called out Senate Democrats on Friday for supporting Republicans’ government funding extension.

Nancy Pelosi flexed her political muscle Friday, taking a swipe at Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he walked back a threat to force Republicans to negotiate or risk a US government shutdown.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer's help for a Republican government funding bill amid speculation she could run for his seat.

"This false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi said as Schumer cast his vote for an extreme GOP spending bill.

The Senate minority leader came under heavy fire for the second straight day from Democrats enraged at him for backing a Republican bill to avoid a government shutdown, and fallout appears likely to last well past Friday’s vote.

The Senate minority leader discusses the backlash to his vote on the Republican spending bill, how he sees his role within the party and his new book.
