CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called herself a “wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter” on the floor of the House of Representatives this week after banning that type of gender-specific language in all House communications.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. A resolution passed in the House in early January struck several gender-specific terms from a document outlining House rules in a move to “honor all gender identities.” The change did not ban lawmakers from using such language in floor speeches or other congressional communications.
!snip! In other words, the New Rules document was edited to be sensitive to men who claim to be women, but there is no rule saying that what they did in the document is worth its weight in pisswater.
Got it. – bfh
THE FACTS: On Wednesday, as Pelosi opened debate for what would become the second impeachment of President Donald Trump, she identified herself using gender-specific language.
“I stand before you as a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter,” Pelosi said. “A daughter whose father proudly served in this Congress.”
In the days after the speech, widespread social media posts called Pelosi a hypocrite, falsely claiming that she had recently banned words like “wife” and “mother” from all House communications.
“Pelosi Only Makes It a Few Days Before Violating Her Own ‘Woke’ Rule,” read the caption of a Facebook video shared more than 10,000 times.
“OOPS!” read superimposed text on a video posted by the conservative website Breitbart News. “PELOSI CALLS HERSELF ‘A WIFE, A MOTHER’ AFTER HOUSE IMPOSES SEXLESS SPEECH CODES.”
These posts are missing context. The House this month introduced a new version of its rules document, which was edited to incorporate gender-neutral language. The change affected the text of only that one document; it did not ban gender-specific language anywhere else.
Each time a new U.S. Congress convenes, it adopts a new set of rules. Those rules are contained in a document called the “Rules of the House of Representatives.”
On Jan. 1, Pelosi and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern introduced the new set of rules for the 117th Congress. It included several changes from the rules package for the 116th Congress, including using gender-neutral language instead of gender-specific language in references to pronouns and familial relationships.
The House approved the new rules on Jan. 4. House members are not barred from using gender-specific language in bills, speeches or elsewhere.

What???
They placated and kowtowed in one document. Why?
I thought that new rule was how we got “Amen” and “awoman”?
More accurately, another example of rules for thee but for me.
@Corky
You know who said that? An A-hole.
In other words, they virtue-signalled with the one document and thumbed their noses at the entire idea of it afterwards.
Well, they’re not RULES rules…
Her memory span is under a week.
Let’s retake the narrative:
Pelosi’s entire family has generational corruption, tied to 4 families that have run CA for 80+ years like Game of Thrones:

OWN THE NARRATIVE
pelosi and virtue have never and will never meet
I don’t wish her ill but I really hope has a face to face talk with God soon after which she will have a face to face talk with Satin. Maybe she’ll get a window seat.
For the love of an edit button…”with God soon, after which…”
“The change did not ban lawmakers from using such language in floor speeches or other congressional communications”
IOW it’s like the Good for me, but not for thee congressional insider trading waiver or sexual misconduct payoff fund.
They don’t even pretend to have a curse word tip jar.
HER WORDS TRANSLATES TO
I’m a Pimp, a baby killer, a liar, and genetically modified,
Obviously this rule is something they didn’t get pre-prepared from a PAC or lobbying group, like all the shit bills they vote on without reading.
I would normally be apposed to wishing harm on anyone, but in Nancy’s case, all I can say is, God may your justice give this evil, demonic hag the everlasting fire of Your divine wrath!
Daughter of Satan is what she meant.
I don’t know what they’re saying, but off topic, I found a site on Twitter that’s HOT STUFF!

^ Probably won’t last long. Someone will reported it to Jack Numnuts and they’re take it down.
I stand before you as a withered old hag with an artificially tightened face (thank you Snap-on Tools and Dap putty), boobs that hit my upper thigh and my nether regions reek to a level that draw large flocks of sea birds. I babble like a buffoon behind large walls (that work, just by the way) and I enjoy long walks on the backs of the little people. I fly first class on broomstick one and have become comfortable eating ice cream over the scent of human urine and feces.
It is only the right that have to knowtow to the rules. If Ms. Boebert said the same thing, she would be vilified.
Thank you PHenry for expressing my sentiments EXACTLY!
I heard, “dipshit, scumbag, asshole, & commie.” 😳
She forgot “insufferable cunt” but we already knew that.
