“Whatever form it takes, Brexit cannot be allowed to imperil the Good Friday Agreement, including the seamless border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Pelosi doing the EU thugs’ bidding by further threatening Britain.

Let everyone note, Pelosi and the Dems are no friend of Britain.

pelosi’s direct interference in foreign country’s affairs demonstrates collusion with the eu and should be soundly condemned.

Is it a surprise to see Democrats on the side of the socialist EU?

Call it a Treaty and the House has nothing to do with it.

So who is going to build a hard border?

Neither the British nor the Irish have any intention of doing so. Ultimately, post-Brexit, it is going to be the EU telling the Irish that they must build a border, or else...

The Senate approves treaties. Does she know she’s in the House?

A seamless border is one which people move through seamlessly.

The left does not want any borders.

Pelosi is not American. She is European. California is no longer America. Cut all federal funding tho the former state.

I’m trying to understand whether Nancy (who is nominally Catholic) is taking the anti-Catholic side of this issue?

Should that even matter to a hard Brexit?

BoJo just wants out (as well he should). As far as the Emerald Isle goes - another day, another way.

Go back to practicing your meatballs nancy.

“Nominally?” You’re too kind.

She excommunicated herself a long time ago.

Pelosi has only one side....her own and this in whatever stands to gain what she wants. She plays her ‘religion card’ when it’s to her advantage like any other card in her deck....and there is plenty of evidence her faith is barely skin deep if at all.
