Nancy Pelosi is one of those people that when you listen to her talk you almost feel sorry for her. Now, that’s not saying that I feel bad for her because she has made bad decisions politically. That ship sailed with her a long time ago.
Where people should feel bad for her is that it seems like she hasn’t been right mentally for a good long time and has not been thinking clearly. It’s like when you have a relative that gets stricken with some sort of horrible illness that affects the brain. They want to keep tying to do things but they just don’t have the tools anymore.
Added to the fact that Pelosi is starting to get eaten alive from people within her own party.
Things are looking pretty bad for the old guards of the Democratic Party, especially for Nancy Pelosi.
According to recent vote counts, a fourth of the party is voting along the lines of AOC. These are crazy numbers since socialism is what AOC is promoting.
Nearly 70 Democrats have been voting in tandem with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s scoffing that the far-left Democratic wing was only “like five people.”
Pelosi downplayed the influence of the new-wave progressives, particularly Ocasio-Cortez, who pushed the party leftwards, during an interview with CBS News’ Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes,” saying that despite the noise, the party is still largely centrist and rejects socialism “as an economic system.”
“You have these wings, AOC and her group on one side,” Stahl told Pelosi, to which the 79-year-old replied: “That’s like five people.”
But according to Fox News’ review of voting records using ProPublica data tools, 68 lawmakers voted with Ocasio-Cortez at least 95 percent of the times since January, representing over a fourth of all seats held by Democrats.
The lawmakers voting in tandem with the New York Democrat aren’t just freshman lawmakers, but include a number of other high-profile Democrats.
