Leading House Democrat Calls on Pelosi to Step Down
NBC News ^ | October 5, 2017 | by DARTUNORRO CLARK

A high-ranking House Democrat on Thursday called on Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California to step down as minority leader to make way for a new generation.

"Our leadership does a tremendous job," said Rep. Linda Sanchez of California, "but I do think we have this real breadth and depth of talent within our caucus, and I do think it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders, and I want to be a part of that transition. I want to see that happen."

Sanchez, the fifth-ranking Democrat in the House, was interviewed on C-SPAN by two reporters who asked her about the current makeup of Democratic leadership.

Sanchez specifically called out Pelosi; the House minority whip, Steny Hoyer of Maryland; and the assistant House minority leader, James Clyburn of South Carolina, when asked who should leave their leadership positions.

"I don’t think there is one leader of the Democratic Party. I think there are many people who try to move the country in the right direction," Sanchez said.

There must be an 0bama-bot Drone they’re grooming to fool the General Populace, again.

An Hispanic Female Socialist this time around?

Smoke and Mirrors it is, then!

Those young upstarts know nothing. Don’t trust them, Nancy. No one is more qualified to lead the Democrats than you. You’ve earned your position.
