Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is letting her true colors show. During a recent interview with Maureen Dowd of The New York Times, Pelosi shot back at Freshman lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley saying that they might have a good Twitter following but that’s all they have. This is incredibly insulting and dismissive to the future of the Democratic Party, a future that obviously Nancy wants to fight. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Link –

How Speaker Nancy Pelosi loves to go on the attack. But unfortunately, most of her attacks, at least those for the last six or seven months, have not been against Donald Trump. They have not been against Republican obstructionist in the House of Representatives and they haven't been against some of those centers. Democrats we have representing us who would more, uh, feel more at home right there in the Republican Party. No Pelosi's attacks really over the last seven months seem to be focused on a core group of freshmen, democratic progressive women, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib to be exact. Recently Nancy Pelosi sat down with Maureen Dowd from The New York Times and when doubt asked her about these four women who voted against Nancy Pelosi's deal. She worked out with Donald Trump for a border funding. Nancy Pelosi dismissed these four women who have had a huge impact on politics already and said, oh, it's like four people.
Oh, who cares? Just four people. And yeah, they may have a big following on Twitter or whatever, but that's all they have. That's what Nancy Pelosi said. These four women who have come out newly elected, you know, only six months in office or so, absolutely changed the narrative, changed the focus in Washington DC and the Democratic Party for the better. They're out there actually working on things. They're visiting these migrant detention facilities that we have on the border, documenting the horrid conditions, telling the public about them coming up with great ideas like the green new deal supporting Medicare for All. Oh, and they also all four supported Nancy Pelosi in her bid to be speaker again when Democrats won back the house and Pelosi has repeatedly attacked them. Now Pelosi's chief of staff was out on Twitter this weekend, I guess attempting to do damage control, but instead he was just being a jackass to anyone who brought this story up, said, Oh, you're taking it out of context.
You didn't read the whole quote. Well, here's the thing, man, we don't have to, you want to talk about context. Let's talk about the fact that this is what Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly done to have this group of women since the 2018 midterm. It doesn't matter what the context was in which she was speaking to Maureen Dowd for this one specific quote, because we can look back at the historical context and see that this has become a pattern of behavior for Nancy Pelosi to go after these four women.
