WFB: Congressman Seth Moulton (D., Mass.) faced backlash at a town hall in his district on Monday for his efforts to oust House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) as the party’s leader in the House.
Pelosi seeks to become speaker of the House again now that her party has retaken the chamber.
“The majority of Americans want this. The majority of Democrats want this change,” Moulton said to the crowd. Some members of the audience interrupted with yells of “no.”
One audience member said, “This is what the Republicans are saying … they just don’t like Washington: ‘get rid of everybody, put this guy in.’ And it feels like you don’t think there’s a skill set necessary…”Moulton, who won a primary against a Democrat incumbent in 2014, has been considered a rising star in the party because of his age and experience in the military.
But his vocal opposition to Pelosi might cause him to lose influence and support among Democrats. more here
Oh, goody. Infighting! I’ll get the tortilla chips and guacamole, you get the popcorn, and we’ll go dutch on the beer!
Bread and Circuses… they all know exactly what’s going to happen and it is not going to be a change in the old guard, that’s for sure.
If he has a life left in DC it will be committee chair of the committee that oversees the floor polishing of the House’s toilets. That is if he is lucky. He will be made into a public example of what happens to those that buck her Majesty.
