Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), the incoming chairman of the CBC, said people are talking about how Pelosi lieutenants, and Israel in particular, voted. “His vote did not go unnoticed,” Cleaver said Friday. “The votes of Mr. Israel and others were not ignored by a number of Members who brought it to my attention on the floor.”

There already is “lingering anger for years past, when the DCCC ignored or at best takes CBC members for granted,” he said. “After I am sworn in, I intend to sit down with Mr. Israel” and see how they can improve the relationship between the DCCC and the CBC…

Two senior Democratic aides, meanwhile, said the votes of the Speaker’s top lieutenants helped doom the reprimand effort and exacerbated a rift between her and a key part of Pelosi’s liberal base of support.

“The negativity was palpable yesterday,” one aide said. “I’ve never felt that before.”
