Nancy Pelosi says sexual harassment controversy giving Republicans 'cover' on tax reform
Washington Examiner ^ | November 26, 2017 | Josh Siegel

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Sunday chided NBC's Chuck Todd for not asking her about tax reform during his interview of her that focused mostly on sexual misconduct claims made against members of Congress.

Todd was set to close the interview, airing on "Meet the Press," without asking about the Republican tax reform plan, when Pelosi cut him off.

"You mean we're not even going to talk about taxes?" Pelosi said. "You see, you have fallen into the place, where they [Republicans] are doing something that is going to increase the debt enormously, it's going to be a job killer and it's going to raise taxes on the middle class and has a big impact on the individual lives of all Americans. And really we should be spending more time on that."

Nazi Pelosi wasn’t the least bit concerned about the debt when Barack Obama was running record deficits and running up the national debt to double what it was.

I thought it was giving cover to President Trump for possibly dealing with Russia - or was showing that Hillary sold 20% of our Uranium supply to Russia giving cover to Trump having Russian dressing on his salad once?

“...where they [Republicans] are doing something that is going to increase the debt enormously...”

Describe enormously compared to the increase in debt over the last 8 years, what is now and why shouldn’t “Taxpayers” keep a larger portion of their earnings?

Oh, that it should be so easy tor the Republicans to use sexual harassment for cover on tax reform.

When it comes to real reform, the Republicans are their own worst enemies, and they are going to muff this up worse than they did Obamacare repeal.

One or two Republican “stalwarts” (or is that stall-warts?) in the Senate will stand in the schoolroom door, and let nothing pass.

Democrats like to question the “timing” of the situation whenever something embarrassing surfaces about them. But the midterms — yeah, midterms — are a year away. Claiming the timing of the sexual harassment allegations is related to tax reform is the best Pelosi can do. It also reveals that all the complaints about the “timing” of Democrat scandals is utterly phony.

In 8 years they doubled the national debt and now she says she worried about it? She is such a dishonest lying sack.

Speaking of female victims, the media sure moved away from the San Juan Mayor now didn’t they? Whitewater was paid 83 million to continue working and the media has gone bye bye in search of sex scandals.

Nasty Peelousy is great for the republican party.

Every time she opens her mouth a democrat loses their wings.

It was a "sexual harassment controversy" with Mark Foley that made Pelosi Speaker.

If the Republicans don’t get the tax bill passed, they’re going to get shellacked next year.

She’s right. And long may the scandals roll.
Maybe we’ll soon read where Nancy’s plastic
surgeon got arrested for dry-walling without a permit.
