Maxine Waters Endorses Pelosi, elite Dems slam opponent Marcia Fudge

Breitbart: Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is asking Democrats to support House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for Speaker as anti-Pelosi Democrats have moved this week to block her from winning the Speakership on the first ballot.

After Waters sent her letter on Wednesday evening, other prominent black Democrats expressed their support for Pelosi as Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) considers a challenge. Fudge is one of 17 reported Democrats who have pledged not to vote for Pelosi on the House floor.  more

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) allies are slamming Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), a potential challenger, for being on the wrong side of LGBT issues as they seek to undercut Fudge’s potential candidacy.

The Washington Post noted last year that Democrats opposed to the Equality Act at the time included Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Reps. Fudge and Dan Lipinski (D-IL). An official from the Human Rights Campaign and numerous left-wing reporters hammered home that point in recent days.  more
