Something's really wrong when a fascist speaker can turn the lights out and deny camera coverage to duly-elected representatives as they speak in THE PEOPLES' HOUSE on a critical issue.

If this were the Republicans employing these totalitarian methods, the outcry in the media would be ferocious and non-stop.

Nancy Pelosi and her jack-booted Ministry of Suppression must be stopped.

Freepers! To the battlements!

This is just good politics on her part - if the pubs were doing it we’d be cheering

But good politics is a two edged sword, and it can be turned against her to make her look like an imperial power grabbing harpy (not that she isnt)

It is better to get the word out in a grassroots way, and have the population putting pressure on Nan to turn the lights back on. There is more than one way to skin a cat (with apologies to the viking kitties)

Best description of the head House RAT and the press that I have EVER heard!

America still sleeps. They have no clue this is happening nor do they care. It’s those “Republicans” fault that prices are so high, and that War mongering “Oil Man” President.

Don’t We The People have the right to light in our own Congress?

Obviously, SF Nan has the right to say “Let There Be Light”?

Time to take our Country back

SE Mom, Mom MD.....

"See House broadcasting rules....."

I'm perfectly aware of the House broadcasting rules. This doesn't preclude the Pubs from manning the ramparts and calling out Nancy Pelose and her Ministry of Suppression with ferocity. In my memory, I can't recall the Republicans pulling a stunt like this. So they'd have the moral high ground. Remember this is a war of propaganda.

"This is just good politics on her part - if the Pubs were doing it we'd be cheering."

So what!!!!!

Actually, if the Pubs would ever do this, we'd be all passed out cold on the floor.

Don't worry, they'd never do it. We're precisely losing the propaganda battles all the time because of too many mom's clucking over and inhibiting any counter-attack or offensive strategery by bringing up every damn nit-pickin' thing imaginable.

I agree. The camera control should be independent of anyone in Congress.
