Breitbart Video: Thursday at her weekly press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the companies announcing wage increases and bonuses in light of the Republican tax bill were “so pathetic.”
Pelosi said, “The number of bonuses that were given, one of the bonuses was already in a union contract, and they added a little more money to that. That same firm just told their employees that they were going to be laying off 1,500 people and if they want to save their jobs, they could all start working 32 hours in those communities.”
She added, “So, in terms of the bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving to workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic. It’s so pathetic. I would hope that with their big advantage of bringing money home at a very low rate that they would invest in infrastructure and things, but the experience has been that they will do dividends, they’ll do stock buybacks and things like that. I think it’s insignificant.” Watch
I’d run this video in a continuous loop on TV in every major market in the US through next fall.
Well, then. Nobody can credibly accuse her of being a populist, that’s for sure.
But the dems have assured me that they’re the party of the common man…
Yeah cause Piglosi pays all her cannery labor in Pago Pago such extravagant wages and bonuses.
What is she involved in, I forget, Pineapples or Tuna fish?
What does she and Mr. Pelosi (poor guy) pay their slaves?
As a native Californian I just want to make sure every one knows this ignorant bitch migrated to my once conservative state from Baltimore.
She looks pretty phucken ragged. She need Oprah’s makeup artist. Talks funny too.
Hey Nancy? I’ll take your tax refund and put it to good use for you. I already am Taxed Enough Already!
The tangible and foreseen benefits to middle class Americans from Trump’s tax cut are pathetic compared to which one of Pelosi’s tax policies?
FFS, will someone please give the hook to this senile old hag?
I want to see Diane Fienstien charged with a felony for releasing the Fusion Report and lose her concealed carry permit. The hypocritical bitch.
Bad_Brad, I guess you could say Nan is a horizontal carpetbagger. Her dad, Tommy D started Baltomire on its current glide slope to rubble.

Well her and Fienstien have certainly cashed in. Makes me sick.
So since Nan has read the bill to see what’s in it, Americans shouldn’t pay attention to the increase in $$ in their take-home pay. That’s the ticket.
Yes, but remember when she said that welfare benefits will boost the economy.
I bet she doesn’t even pay minimum wage to the illegal aliens who pick grapes at her vineyard.
She needs to become a statistic…..
No psychiatrists want to opine on N-n-n-nancy’s spuh-sp-speech problems?
Every worker receiving one of these pathetic “tax bonus” payments should protest by sending it to Ms Pelosi, who will dispose of it properly.
“and if they want to save their jobs, they could all start working 32 hours in those communities.”
Well Nancy, your Obamacare special was set up to make the full time work week 30 hours, so you should be thrilled they are getting an extra 2 hours above Obama’s and your edicts.
Also, since the dumb bint knows nothing about business, yes even in today’s market place, there are companies laying off because they’ve been run into the ground by mismanagement. Sears is a prime example. Trump and the tax cut have ZERO to do with Sears underperforming for the past 25 years. They didn’t evolve with the times, they are now suffering for it plain and simple.
She’s become an unwitting asset to the opposition. Keep her pumped full of formalin if needed but let her continue her incoherent babble.
I don’t know why she’s complaining. With her portfolio I am sure she stands to make millions in dividends from this tax law change. Maybe she is trying to distract everyone from that particular piece of news.
hey bad brad,did we once drink beerin grass valley??
