As a 20-year member of Congress and four-year Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, let me speak bluntly and directly.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the greatest threat to constitutional liberty in our lifetime.
With the passive support of an apparently cowardly caucus, she is behaving as a dictator more like Fidel Castro, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or Nicolás Maduro.
Pelosi ordered and kept the fencing around the U.S. Capitol for months – even when members of her own party were calling for it to come down. She stripped a duly elected Republican of all her committee assignments.
In recent weeks, she has dictated to the minority party what members it can have on a bipartisan commission.
Now, she is threatening to have members of Congress and their staffs arrested if they do not follow the mask mandate which exists by her own decree. (I am not aware of a Speaker ordering members arrested since 30 members broke into a brawl on the House Floor over the Kansas Territory’s pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution in 1859.)
If her power, arrogance, and destructiveness is allowed to continue growing, she will shatter the precedents of the U.S. House, undermine hundreds of years of common legislative precedent going back to the Magna Carta of 1215, and the destroy the established principle that those who write laws are still subordinate to them.
Remember that the Pelosi dictatorship survives with a narrow margin, because there are not 10 Democrats with the guts to stand up for the U.S. Constitution, the fabric of American history, and their own rights to serve as freely elected, independent members of the Congress.

Anyone who says “the greatest threat to __________”...does not know history.
The second greatest threat is useless, windbag republicans that stand by and watch it happen
Nancy Pelosi is the one who falsely certified Obama as a natural born citizen, but curiously only to Hawaii.
The other 49 certifications omitted the natural born citizen language.
Most of the elected Republicans are Bush League Republicans who are really just Assistant Democrats.
Paging Capt. Obvious, please pick up the red phone.
We don’t need these “statements”, we need action on the part of the GOP house members. They need to stop going along to get along.
From 2011. He made the ad in 2008. He is an idiot. (Yes he did apologize in late 2011)
The ad:

“Unlike Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich makes no apologies about his past advocacy on climate change.
The former House speaker and, beginning Wednesday, GOP presidential candidate, has spent the past three years defending his decision to appear alongside Nancy Pelosi in a commercial for Al Gore’s Repower America Campaign.
“In the ad, Gingrich sits alongside Pelosi on a couch outside the Capitol and declares that while they don’t agree on many issues, “we do agree our country must take action to address climate change.”
Gingrich has had plenty of practice responding to complaints about the commercial from the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, who argued on his radio show that the former Georgia congressman had been aiding the “enemy.”
He entire party are the greatest threat to constitution in our lifetime.
I agree, so when are you going to actually do something about it? Like actually expose her for being dirty as hell.
No, Newt. The fools who voted her into office are.
Newt rightly states.....”The Republicans who are collaborating with Pelosi should be ashamed of themselves. She is using them to sustain her dictatorship, and they are making it harder for House Republicans to effectively oppose her.”
Her AND GEORGE SOROS! AND ALL DEMOCRATS!
:-)
I knew that had to have been posted!
That pic sure didn’t age well.
Absolutely! Worth repeating.
