Enjoy.)Nancy Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House just last month, but the additional stress is already too much. Pelosi is waging a war against the president as she tries to stop his national emergency declaration for the wall, and she is also faced with Democrats who are totally out of control. Well, the 78-year-old Speaker was caught suffering facial spasms and muttering into the mic yesterday, and her staffers are trying to cover it up. Don’t miss this.
Nancy Pelosi made a visit to New York City yesterday, but you won’t hear about it in the news. What was planned as a big event by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo turned into a farce when Nancy Pelosi suffered one of her senior moments on stage.
The Speaker of the House showed up hoping to grab some positive press as Cuomo signed a “red flag” gun protection bill Monday morning in New York City. Pelosi’s presence wasn’t needed. We can only ascertain she was hoping to cover-up all the recent gaffes by high-profile Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.
Whatever the reason, it all went wrong when the Speaker suffered facial spasms, muttering into the mic and repeating herself. In remarks that lasted about 13 minutes, Pelosi said, “I say to my colleagues in the Congress frequently, the survival of our children is much more important than your political surviv— survival,” suffering a face spasm.
Another one struck as she tried to say “salute.” Pelosi had a jaw problem when she said “legislation.” Then, she used one too many M’s and said “minside maneuvering.” We are pretty sure the California Democrat meant to say “inside maneuvering,” as she talked about the tag-teaming of legislators and outside groups — the same ones she derides as “dark money” entities when they oppose her agenda — pushing to pass progressive bills.
“So let us thank all of the outside groups for what they did to make this a success,” she said of the so-called “Red Flag” gun control bill, before repeating her words and muttering under her breath, “to make this a success.”
She had a hard time speaking as she talked about risks to society. “Keeping guns out of the hands of those who are a risk to themselves and others through ex— ext— extreme risk protection orders,” she said, carefully saying each word as she tried to prevent further slurring.
Towards the end of her remarks, she said, “I’m very proud of our, our, our, uh—” before trailing off and staring at the audience. “Well, the whole Congress of the United States…” the Speaker finally concluded.
The slurs and spasms were condensed into a one minute video:
As horrid as Nancy Pelosi is as Speaker, she is no fool when it comes to political savvy. And the stress she is experiencing not only comes from President Trump, but what might be pushing her over the edge are the newly-minted Democrats: Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
When Ocasio-Cortez came out with her “Green New Deal,” Pelosi was quick to not only dismiss it but she also ridiculed it by purposely misnaming it “Green New Dream.” Asked about the “Green New Deal” in an interview with Politico, Pelosi dropped this amazing bit of shade on it: “It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”
The 78-year-old Speaker may be getting up there in years, but she clearly knows if those like AOC push the Democratic Party to the far-far-left they will get massacred by Trump and the GOP in 2020. The other two troublemakers Pelosi must secretly wish never made it to Congress are the radicals Omar and Tlaib.
The Speaker made sure all the Democrats knew talking about impeaching Trump was off-limits. After months of Maxine Waters screaming about “Impeach 45,” Pelosi was briefed that the majority of Americans were not on board with that kind of impeachment talk.
Yet, Ilhan Omar and her sidekick Rashida Tlaib were the first to sign a pledge to impeach the president this morning, directly going against Pelosi’s orders. Nancy went nuts knowing Americans see this as a political impeachment and a rejection of the will of the people and the 2016 election.
“We have to wait and see what happens with the Mueller report. We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason. So we’ll just have to see how it comes,” Pelosi said.
No wonder Nancy Pelosi is having facial spasms and muttering into a mic. She is 78-years-old and she is under a huge amount of stress, and not just from Trump. It’s the radical new Socialists who are taking over the Democratic Party that might be the very thing pushing her over the edge.
AOC, Omar, and Tlaib might find their days numbered in Congress. The trio of radical leftists are hated by the GOP, but they are the biggest liability for the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi, under so much stress, might make sure they find their campaign coffers have run dry as they try and run for re-election in 2020.
