Breitbart: Potential Democrat speakership candidate Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) says that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker who is angling to retake the gavel early next year, is an “elitist” and “very wealthy person” who surrounds herself with other “very wealthy people.”
In an interview with the Huffington Post’s Matt Fuller, Fudge–the former chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus who is toying with a run for the Speaker position against Pelosi–says that people do not like Pelosi because “they see her as an elitist.”
“And I think to some degree she is,” Fudge said. “She’s a very wealthy person. She raises a lot of money from a lot of other wealthy people.”
“Everybody wants to give her such big credit for winning back the House, and she should be here because she won. She didn’t win it by herself,” Fudge added, also saying: ““If we’re going to give her credit for the wins, why is she not responsible for all the losses?” She, per Fuller, pointed to how Democrats had lost 63 seats in the 2010 election and did not regain majorities in 2012, 2014, or 2016–not until 2018 did Democrats retake the House.
Fudge is one of the signers of a letter from Democrats pledging to oppose Pelosi’s speakership bid on the House floor in January. Depending on where some final races come down, Pelosi, in the best case scenario, can afford to lose just shy of 20 votes. The letter already, reportedly, per a previous story from the Huffington Post’s Fuller, has enough signatures to block her ascent to the Speakership, assuming its signers follow through on their pledge. read more
They’re going to be so busy fighting each other.
Fighting over who is head of the ___ committee, fighting over words, fighting over who gets their name on this bill or that bill, and fighting over how to fight Trump. LOL.
Hey, McCain, are you watching the show?
Exactly. There won’t be any legislation passed in the next 2 years. House will investigate everything they can, but unfortunately for them this means going through a fairly public and transparent process. Meanwhile Trump will continue to put judges in and to build the wall, and in general continue to work on his agenda.
…and she wants Nancy’s shoe shine box…properly creased pants, non-negro dialect, female, blackish, Cherokee maybe, wrote an Injun cook book maybe, makes legs tingle, best friend with Ophrahaha, going on the view to discuss quiche, currently trying to change Hell’s Kitchen to Heck’s Kitchen and then firing Heck because he’s too manish and doesn’t have enough recipes about bearded clams…..she’s a shoe in….
Fudge must be a socialist tool like dimwit Ocosta-Cortez. Too much money? What?! Yeah. Pelosi deserves this idiot’s attention.
