Article snippet: Capitol police stated 51 protesters had been arrested after unlawfully demonstrating outside Pelosi’s office in the Cannon House Office Building. Police began making arrests when the protestors refused to leave the area after a few hours of demonstration. Ocasio-Cortez departed before arrests were made. However, she briefly spoke to the group of activists at Pelosi’s office. “I just want to let you all know how proud I am of each and every single one of you for putting yourselves and your body, and everything on the line to make sure we save our planet, our generation, and our future,” Ocasio-Cortez told the young activists. “It’s so incredibly important.” Pelosi embraced the protesters and said she planned on launching a special committee to focus on the climate crisis. Pelosi said in a statement: As of now, it remains unclear whether or not Ocasio-Cortez will support Pelosi’s bid for House speaker. At 29, Ocasio-Cortez will be the youngest woman to assume office as a member of the United States House of Representatives in January. Follow Kyle on Twitter @RealKyleMorris.
