Pelosi: ‘I Don’t Think that People Want a New Direction’

‘Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families’

ouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that despite Democrats losing the House, Senate, and almost two-thirds of state houses, the American people don't want a new direction.

The California congressman appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday and instead said the issue facing Democrats is simply a failure of communication.

DICKERSON: “The Democratic Party is in a moment of questioning about its identity. You were reelected to lead the Democrats in the House. What do you tell Democrats who want a new direction and then, go to you, what are you going to do differently?” PELOSI: “Well, I don’t think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families. That’s one that everyone is in agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that message wasn’t coming through. But we are united in terms of the security of our country, which is our first responsibility. To be smart and strong and not reckless in how we protect the American people, strong in how we protect our economy.”

Pelosi also downplayed her party's losses in 2010 and 2016, telling CBS's John Dickerson "You're forgetting that we went up so high in 2006 and 2008."

You’re so right Nancy, because nothing screams “midwestern values” like guys playing buttdarts, guys dressed up like women in women’s bathrooms, legalized weed, anit-cop, anit-military, anti-second amendment, and anti-Christian like the democrat party.

Oh dear God, please keep Pelosi and Ellison....

So, no introspection on the part of the Democrat leadership. According to Nancy, we yokels just didn't understand their message. Sorry, Nancy, but we do understand your message and reject it.

My guess is somebody tore the word “shellacked” out of her dictionary.

Their cumulative losses in ‘10, ‘12, ‘14, and ‘16 are unprecedented, especially at the Statehouse level.

Don’t forget tearing innocent babies to bits right before delivery, then selling body parts.

Ah yes. Working families.

Are they working if they don't work?

Are they working if they are paid NOT to work specifically so they don't leave the voting reservation?

Are they working if globalism sends jobs overseas?

Are they working if taxes and red tape kill jobs?

Are they families if they aren't married?

Are they families if they have multiple children by multiple partners?

Are they families if divorce is as easy as ordering a pizza?

Are they families if the male is persecuted for being a male?

Are they families if the welfare state replaces at least one parent?

The problem with the Dems' favorite euphemism is that it encompasses nearly every lie in the book.

Remember when Pelosi would say something from on high and everybody would just, I dunno, believe her.

It’s a bit different when you’re sitting on a bar stool after 8 shots of tequila pontificating about politics. You just become a blow hard nuisance.
