Pelosi Threatens Moderate Democrats for Voting With GOP on Procedural Votes
Washngton Free Beacon ^ | February 28, 2019

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) told moderate Democrats during a closed-door meeting on Thursday to stop siding with Republicans on procedural votes, saying they could become a lower priority for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2020.

Pelosi met with the Democratic Caucus behind closed doors to discuss recent procedural votes that exposed the divisions within the party, according to two individuals who spoke to Politico. Since the Democrats took over the House last month, Republicans have won two motions to recommit, including a Wednesday vote that angered progressives, Politico reported.

God forbid they do their jobs and actually “represent” the people who elected them.

This is what’s wrong with our government, right here.

Why are you FReepers hating on Pelosi? Would you have supported Speaker Ryan for letting Democrats do the same?

The plan is working perfectly so far. Let the dems scare the country again, and clean out the rhino dead wood.

Honestly - there can be one single Democrat in the entire Congress, and he/she will use every procedural/parliamentary/litigation tactic to stop the Republican agenda. And the Republicans will cave or work on some "bipartisan" crapola to meet that sole Democrat halfway.

As much as I hate Pelosi and Reid, they were masters at controlling their respective chambers.

Yes. You are absolutely correct. They are 'hired' by us to do a relatively easy, overcompensated 'job', that they are generally not very qualified to do - but we let them anyway (because let's face it, most of us aren't attracted to politics as a job). They are our employees, including Narcissistic Nancy. Except they act like celebrities, not employees. Even AOC is already acting like a celebrity.

“Yep, Pelosi’s doing her job.”

That’s what leaders do. To bad we didn’t have one when we held the majority.

Same thing happened after 2006. Swing districts were fooled into electing so-called “moderate” Democrats. Duh. There is no such thing. Pelosi cracked the whip and made them all vote the liberal line. They were gone by 2010.
