The eft's power structure isn't a homogeneous hierarchy. There's no shadow council a the top. There are dozens of independent ones and they fight among themselves if you let them. Often it's over dragging the collective position too far, or not far enough towards OWG-Marx too quickly.

Seems the media arm recognizes they are at risk of losing it all and this isn't a hill to die on, while Pelosi sees this as her fight and won't allow herself to look weak for the greater good because she has ambitions that won't wait.
