Perfect response from Nancy Pelosi





I ask Pelosi as she leaves the Capitol for WH mtg on gov't shutdown if she will speak to Dem MI Rep Rashida Tlaib about the language Tlaib used when discussing Trump: Pelosi responds “I’m going to talk to the President about his language.”

Although I do think the freshman Rep probably should've been a bit more tactful, I love that Nancy wasn't going to throw her under the bus.

THAT ... is a leader, friends.

I'm sure that the Speaker or someone high in leadership had a little talk with Rep. Tlaib. But that's their personal business. And you're right - Leaders lead by protecting their team while teaching them at the same time, not putting them out on Front Street.

This is why we needed her. She's lazer focused on the brass ring. Wow. Such a dang relief. Seemed like 2017-2018 lasted 20 years.

How many families has she ripped apart? How many children has she caged?

How many of our allies has she alienated? How many murderous dictators has she praised?

Did she try to re-ignite warfare in the Middle East? Has she undermined the Pentagon and our military?

How many national elections has she requested foreign powers to intervene in? How many times has she violated the emoluments clause of our Constitution?

Gee. Saying "motherfucker" is equivalent to doing real and lasting damage to everything we've built upon in the world since World War II?

You may want to examine your condemnation meter.

Why can't they be more like Republican women and wring their hands, express "concern", and then do whatever the fuck the old white men want them to do?
