Nancy Pelosi just ripped Jim Jordan to pieces
Jim Jordan spent last night and this morning trying to bully and threaten his fellow House Republicans into voting to make him Speaker, and twenty of them still voted against him. Jordan is now set to try again tomorrow, and it could go either way. But Jordan is a disaster.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi appeared the Joy Reid show tonight and proceeded to rip Jim Jordan to pieces. She pointed out that he’s never managed to pass any meaningful legislation, and that his one big (failed) bill aimed to “criminalize a woman’s right to choose.”
Pelosi also pointed out that some House Republicans still voted for Jim Jordan today, even after Jordan previously voted against disaster assistance in their districts. She added, “Well that’s why you see some people voting against him.”
Nancy Pelosi also pointed out that when she was Speaker of the House, she managed to keep the House functional even when her majority was as small as two votes. In contrast, House Republicans have fallen to pieces even with a four to five vote majority.
Pelosi also made clear that she looks forward to the time when Hakeem Jeffries becomes the Speaker of the House. That will likely require a Democratic House majority. You can do your part in making that happen by getting behind the Democratic candidates running in the decisive toss-up districts in 2024. Let’s go win this!
