House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Omaha Saturday night to speak at the Nebraska Democratic Party's annual Morrison-Exon fundraiser.
The Nebraska Democratic Party said Saturday's turnout was one of the biggest crowds the event has ever seen.
Pelosi urged more women and more diversity in Congress. She pledged $1,000 to the Frank Lamere Grassroots Fellows and Candidates of Color Fund.
The speaker praised rural America and mentioned Nebraskan farmer frustration over the trade war.
"We're fighting for the hardworking Nebraska families left behind in the GOP agenda -- and they are -- and for Nebraska farmers struggling under Trump's trade recklessness and big oil assault on ethanol," Pelosi said.
Pelosi also spoke of the impeachment investigation, she said it was important to protect whistleblowers and the Constitution. She said the impeachment investigation is not about dislike or disagreement. Pelosi said it's a matter of facts.
"What I said when others were urging earlier and swifter action, I said when we have the facts we'll be ready. And we're ready," Pelosi said.
Pelosi laid out her three main focuses for legislation in 2020: lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, increasing paychecks and building infrastructure "in a green way," and reducing the role of "dark special interest money" in government.
The event's theme was centered around the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote. Pelosi said the theme was fitting since 2019 is also the first time more than a hundred women are in the House of Representatives.
Can’t believe this evil nasty BITCH was NOT protested there!! GOOD gosh folks we need to fight them everywhere they go!!! Ugh!!

Corn doesn’t belong in my gas tank.
Trump’s wanting E15 notwithstanding.
Not sure why Nazi (no Oil for YOU!) Pelosi is attacking Trump about ethanol.
Yes, because that has worked out so well.
There is a reason NE keeps electing Crazy Senators.
The Left has infiltrated the NE GOP same as they have done in AZ.
I had to look that up. I thought this Lamere guy was black, turns out he's a Winnebago indian. I mean, jeez, they already named a whole RV company after your tribe, what else do you want?😜
Pardon our skepticism, but what was the number attending Pelosi’s rural propaganda tour? Or are we supposed to believe the Democrat Party that this was “ one of the biggest crowds the event had ever seen”? It seems odd that the TV station website is unavailable, and there is no mention of the event in the Omaha World Herald paper.
They kept it pretty quiet. I didn’t hear about it until it was done. Plus, the Big Red Rooters were too caught up in their “Big Game”, which they lost, to notice much else.
Can’t protest what you don’t know about.
sorry! scrubbed in a hurry!
sorry! that page disappeared in a hurry
I believe there was a small inside article in the Sunday WH. Not much else and no pics of a big crowd. For the democrats, 20 idiots other than the press, would be a big crowd.
its the “Morrison-Exon” event. Dont know how long they will keep that name, Jim Exon was a pro-life D
I’ve lived here this time around for 30 years, plus 5 years in the 80s and graduated from UNL in the mid 70s. Never heard of the Morrison-Exon event but am well familiar with JJ Exon and his tenure as Governor and Senator. (spitting).

Well, just for argument’s sake, let’s presume that 25 people attended last year, and this year 28 people attended then there was an increase of what...? 12 percent give or take? So, yeah... one of the biggest crowds the event had ever seen. Of course, I’m just spitballin’ here, but 25 or 28 people is probably an extreme stretch.
Sorry but women in Congress has been an absolute disaster. If I’m not mistaken this house is the house with the most women....How have the results been? It should also be known that there was a female nominee of the Democratic party...She lost and has REFUSED to actually concede and it’s 3 years in. The country is being torn apart because of it. A female nominee for Governor did the same thing. The female Speaker of the house has destroyer the impeachment process and out of spite refuses to work with the elected President. Objectively, women in politics in the US of A....Has been awful. Could it turn around? Sure...but who knows if the country will survive long enough now. Don’t take that chance
