How does Nancy Pelosi get away with blocking desperately needed aid?
Washington Examiner ^ | April 22, 2020 05:02 PM | by Byron York

the White House sent a letter to Capitol Hill asking for $251 billion in additional funding. Again, everyone knew it would be needed and needed soon.

The White House wanted quick action. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hoped the Senate would approve a simple bill, one that provided the $251 billion and did not do anything else, on a voice vote.

Republicans finally surrendered on the money, $75 billion for hospitals. They agreed to $25 billion for testing that Pelosi added to her demands. The GOP balked on money for states and local governments.

And it is still not done. The bill, now expanded to nearly $500 billion, has passed the Senate, with House passage expected Thursday. That will be April 23, 16 days after the first letter to Capitol Hill

Because she’s the Dems’ Leftist Princess.

She shines with no reason or accountability - perfect Leftist stooge.

How did she get away with not certifying Obama to most states?

Didn’t someone give Hillary Clinton the questions to be asked her in the presidential debate but not give them to her opponent? I think the opponent was Donald Trump. If so, there were no consequences.

How does she get away with it ?

Her brain dead perverted shit-in-the-street-&-it’s-OK San ran constituents elect her and her Hate-Trump-at-all-costs Rat colleagues enable her by keeping her in the Speaker’s chair. That’s how!

She is an elected official and then the dems in the house elected her speaker. That’s how.

Imagine if during a Virus briefing a bomb blew up the White House—NANCY P. Would be the 46th President! Nightmare! The stuff of bad dreams! What world would she cook up? More like China is my theory.

Plus, I thought all spending bills had to originate in the House. How is this being allowed where the Senate goes first?

"She’s a Democrat"

That and elections have consequences. In a way you have to admire Pelosi's willingness to fight for the socialist agenda. As wrong as she may be, she has more balls than Paul Ryan.

Because she welds the power to do so.

Paul Ryan was never accused of having any balls at all.

"How does Nancy Pelosi get away with blocking desperately needed aid?"

The following might be a clue about Pelosi’s “leadership skills.”

Going back to misguided Pelosi’s failed impeachment of PDJT, Florida US Rep. Gatetz had questioned if Pelosi was quid pro quoing(sp?) Democrats with loss of funding for their reelection campaigns if they demonstrated insubordination (my word) with respect to impeaching PDJT.

So being insubordinate to PDJT-hating Pelosi could possibly cost incumbent Democrats campaign funding.

Nancy Pelosi silences applause after Trump impeachment vote (1:36 min.)

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Maybe not as quickly as Hillary would have, but eventually she and/or her party and Leftist allegiance would force her to take America down.
