Pelosi: Democrats Wore Sweaters to Deal With ‘Freezing’ Conditions During Sit-In Chandler Gill
BY: June 23, 2016 3:38 pm
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday that Democrats had to wear sweaters to endure freezing conditions on the House floor during the Democratic sit-in on gun control, but she said those conditions could not deter her.
A reporter brought up the live periscope feed that showed the sit-in since CSPAN cameras were not allowed to film because the floor was in recess. The reporter asked, since there was a constant periscope feed of the sit-in, if the rule about the speaker having control of the camera is obsolete.
Pelosi asked for clarification on this rule.
“The rule about the Speaker has control of the cameras to cover the floor of the House,” the reporter said.
Pelosi responded by stating that Ryan had “awesome power.” She noted that he also had the power to control the lights and even the heat.
“Let me think about that,” Pelosi said. “It’s irrelevant. I think that that’s something—the Speaker has awesome power. The Speaker has control of the lights, the heat. It was freezing in there last night. It was freezing. People were starting with sweaters and then blankets, and then I think they were practically having rugs, because it was freezing in there. That was one way, but we would not be deterred.”

Waaaaaaaaa
Snowflakes need sweaters? Who knew?
Well something must keep
The snow flakes from melting !
They should have been wearing onesies and those little footie PJ’s and then maybe have the pages bring them their little bottles of warmed milk.
Climate change!
"Freezing?" Just another lie.
Does this mean there is no Global Warming Miss Puglisi?
A sit in. In parliament.
You look like a damn banana republic.
Awesome powers includes turning on the lights & heat??? Wow, I can do that too - I feel like Superman.
If Ryan had the balls to do anything like this, he would have shut the AC off.
looking at the House sit in, nary a sweater.
looking at them leaving the House this a.m., nary a sweater.
Oh my gosh, I abhor this vacuous woman (that’s code for dumb beyotch).
Petty tyrants
Well at least it kept the smell down with all the poop inside there...that’s a relief, and time to open the windows and air out the place...
Wait....they wore sweaters in the middle of summer and the devastating global warming?
Nice Brazil reference :)
And these snowflakes want to tell us how to live, what to eat, what to wear???
Remarkable, our rulers are prone to enjoy what they deny many of us ‘commoners’ Of course, they can print their own money and afford all the ‘comforts, as well as the ice cubes in their drinks. WTP...not so much.Cool air for thee but not for me. Ban on coal makes that impossible.
