Ex-AOC Chief of Staff
I’m Going After Pelosi’s Seat …
She’s Too Old School!!!

Saikat Chakrabarti is running to unseat Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco — which may sound sacrilegious to Democrats — but he says the old guard’s time is up … because Americans want drastic new ideas.
Saikat, a tech millionaire who was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s first chief of staff, joined us on “TMZ Live” Thursday and told us why he’s challenging Pelosi for her seat in Congress.
The way Saikat sees it … Nancy was the perfect politician for the days of old, when she gathered bipartisan support to pass legislation, but he says the landscape is drastically different and it’s time to inject the Democratic Party with new ideas and new faces.
Saikat says voters want massive economic reforms … based on what we’ve seen in presidential elections and the NYC mayor race — and Democrats like Pelosi just aren’t offering what the people crave.
It’s interesting … he sees similarities between the MAGA movement and Democratic Socialists, and tells us where the two extremes line up.
Nancy’s not going to be easy to topple … but Saikat sounds confident he will be able to inject as much money in the race as she will — so she may be in for a dogfight.

Soledad O’Brien stopped by “TMZ Live” Monday, still reeling from the loss of her collaborator Rob Reiner and his wife Michele … and Soledad had some choice words for Donald Trump‘s disparaging post about the late actor-director.
Soledad got to know Rob well while co-hosting the 10-part true-crime podcast series, “Who Killed JFK?”
She tells TMZ, Rob was kind to everyone … “The person who was taking in the audio, the person who was shooting, the person who was producing, the person who was helping the person who was producing, the assistants … absolutely the kindest human being.”
In fact, Soledad described Rob and his wife as “two really wonderful, kind people,” making their gruesome deaths all the more heartbreaking.
“It’s so horrific,” Soledad said. “I honestly cannot believe it.”

As we reported … Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death at their Los Angeles home Sunday. The tragic news brought an outpouring of support and condolences from many … except Donald Trump.
POTUS took the opportunity to make it about himself, claiming Rob died “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

Soledad called Trump’s response “pathetic, but not surprising.”
But instead of dwelling on Trump’s nastiness, the veteran journalist urged people to remember what kind and talented people Rob and Michele were … and not to waste time with anything ugly that anybody says about them.
