Pelosi jabs Schumer over controversial vote to avoid government shutdown: ‘I myself don’t give away anything for nothing’
NY Post ^ | 3/18/25 | Victor Nava

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown.

Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill.

“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”

“We could have in my view, perhaps gotten [Republicans] to agree to a third way,” she added, referring to a last-ditch proposal by congressional Democrats to extend current government spending for 30 days as negotiations on a longer-term bill take place.

“They may not have agreed to it, but at least the public would have seen them not agreeing to it – then [Republicans] would have been shutting the government down,” Pelosi argued.

The former House speaker pleaded with Senate Democrats hours before last week’s vote to defy Schumer and vote against the six-month spending bill.

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Schumer did it for something. Trump called Chuck a “Palestinian” with the Irish Prime Minister a day before Schumer helped him.

Trump distracting from real reasoning behind Schumer’s assistance.

This is all theater. We may have won the battle, but Schumer kept the Democrats in the fight, by ensuring the Federal judges were funded. I think the Democrats realize this.

We haven't won yet, and the Democrats haven't lost. We still have work to do.

She doesn’t seem to comprehend how bad that would be for the democrat party. There’s NO WAY they could put a positive spin on it and blame the Republicans.

This could be laid squarely at the feet of the Democrats and there’s little they could do for damage control.

So pecker puss Pelosi’s strategy is that Dems should have voted for a government shutdown every 30 days and somehow Trump would be blamed? As if Trump would fall for such a trap. Good plan pecker puss.

Pelosi jabs........ with her cane?

The Representative from Texas got thrown out of the President’s speech for waving his stick. Nance Pelosi sat very still having covered her cane with a silk scarf. Her cane must not be seen. It is a sign of her debilitation.

“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said.

The Evil Queen of the Quid Pro Quo.

Nazi PeLousy is one of the several poster children for term limits for Congress critters and Senators.
