New York Times editorial board to ‘ossified’ Nancy Pelosi and deputies: Step aside
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 7/1/18 | Laura Barrón-López

Posted on 07/01/2018 1:07:30 PM PDT by ColdOne

The New York Times editorial board is calling on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her top two deputies to step aside and allow younger Democratic members to lead the caucus.

The Times takes aim at Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Democratic Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., criticizing the trio for maintaining their power rather than preparing the next generation.

"For too long, this regime has clung to power at the expense of future leaders," the Times editorial board writes. "Neither of Ms. Pelosi’s two chief deputies, Steny Hoyer, the party whip, and Jim Clyburn, the assistant leader, is a remotely viable successor. Like Ms. Pelosi, both men are just shy of 80 and have occupied top-tier posts for over a decade. At this point, the caucus leadership has gone from stale to downright ossified."

You gotta love the nuts eating their enablers. It was all about power and money for the elites. They never truly believed. Now they’re reaping what they sowed.

They can’t step aside. They are ossified.

What change would mean is that the Caucasian liberals would be placed in a gulag.

The loser white liberals don’t realize they are about to be eaten. The hordes they invited in don’t just hate conservatives

Stupid New York Times.

A) I find the word "ossified" to be age-ist.

B) It's not the members who are ossiied, it's their ideas.

“The loser white liberals don’t realize they are about to be eaten. The hordes they invited in don’t just hate conservatives...”

Exactly! It happens in every “revolution”. The first to go are the ones who thought, incorrectly, that they were part of the inner clique. They will find out very quickly, as have the progressive Leftists in London, that their “conquerors” were very happy to have their support in order to gain power but after that, they are totally expendable.

And guess what Leftists? You are the idiots who decided that guns are “icky” and you are too “enlightened” to have them! Let’s see how that works out for you!

Nancy, did you hear what the NYT editorial board called you!

You’re not gonna take that crap are you!

Sexist Ageist bums deserve the kind of beat down only you, the lioness of the House can deliver.

Young girls are watching, liberal women everywhere are watching. Don’t let them down Nancy.

Wow - I’m sure they have been trying FOR YEARS to quietly get her to give it up, and that has totally failed - so now they have no choice but to go public.

They still haven’t used the buzzwords they love to use on Republicans, when one or two stray off the party-line, which is ‘disarray’ and ‘divided’, but they’re getting close!

It’s been said that Pelosi, Clinton et al, have put party before country, but it’s even worse: They put NOTHING ahead of THEMSELVES.

If Nancy Pelosi has lost the New York Times, she is in MUCHO trouble.

As Nancy stands on the precipice, the chorus grows louder, “Jump, Nancy, jump!”

Pass the popcorn. This is going to be FUN!

Aw c'mon!
Let them continue.

Lat's get another look at an elected criminal victory lap around the capitol, with Pelosi drooling and carrying the infamous 20-pound gavel...

There's a lot of valuable nostalgia there...
