Along with Ocasio-Cortez, lawmakers are known in Washington as "the squad".

Omar appeared to be doubling the House progressives' quarrel with party leaders, suggesting that tensions remained within the party.

She said in the keynote address "Making Herstory: Women Who Change the Balance of Power in Washington" that there is a "struggle, often, with people who have the power to share that power" .

"We are not really asking for the share of this power. We are trying to seize this power and give it back to the people, "added Omar.

Omar's remarks came a few days after the four women in Congress publicly mingled with Pelosi, urging the president to warn legislators at a closed caucus meeting this week.

Pelosi urged the Democrats to keep their differences between them, later stating that a tweet, subsequently deleted by the chief of the Ocasio-Cortez staff, had motivated his speech. The tweet tore apart the centrist democrats, likening them to segregationist lawmakers from the South.

Dust grew when Ocasio-Cortez later accused Pelosi of racial insensitivity in an interview with the Washington Post.

Ocasio-Cortez accused Pelosi of choosing to criticize women of color as divisions persisted about passing a $ 4.6 billion border bill. Ocasio-Cortez said that she and her fellow women of color had felt sacked by Pelosi, who had thrown cold water on progressive issues such as the Green New Deal's climate plan. Sometimes Pelosi pointed out that freshmen do not speak on behalf of the caucus.

At the end of the week, Pelosi expressed a desire to move on, saying she had nothing left to say on Thursday.

An increasing number of Progressive Democratic MPs, frustrated by public quarrels, accused Ocasio-Cortez of crossing a line of demarcation by suggesting that Pelosi was treating women of the minority unfairly.
