Pelosi Narrowly Reelected House Speaker
Newsmax ^ | January 3, 2020 | Newsmax

Posted on 01/03/2021 1:47:36 PM PST by Dr. Franklin

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., won another term as speaker Sunday with just more than enough votes than needed to secure the position.

Pelosi won 216 votes, with 208 going to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Two members voted for other Democrats while three Demcrats voted present.

The new Congress convened Sunday, just two days after lawmakers ended their contentious previous session and with COVID-19 guidelines requiring testing and face coverings for House members.

The fraudulent elections result in an illegitimate Congress and Speaker. What can be done about this?

A house should fall on her. Or they should pour water on her so this old witch melts.

216+208+2+3 does not equal 435

429

One Representative died recently from a heartattack

What happened to the other 5?

It’s all kabuki anyhow because it would’ve required all of the outstanding votes that Nanzi did not get.

That’s the ticket.
AS a wealthy 7 y/o child in Baltimore, Nancy probably ordered the Day Butler to run after the Good Humor Man.

The hell of it is if you don’t vote for your party’s chosen leader you won’t get any committee assignments. Or worse, you may get stuck on some committee you don’t know or care anything about about.

Italian women have good longevity.
Add Platinum healthcare and I can see another decade.
Not sure if a Speaker had made it to 90 or not.

AOC showed her principles today
First abstained, then voted for that demented 80 yr old woman
The so-called progressives can shut up about wanting “ change”

Nobody was seated yet from NY-22 (still undecided). There may be a couple of other similar cases.

As I indicated, wouldn’t have actually made a difference. She had just under 50% of the vote.

The Cortez Conquistador woman voted for Pelosi. Wonder what sort of deals were orchestrated for support.

Wonder if any Democrats were permitted to “disagree”/abstain because it was clear their votes were not essential.
