I laughed at this and had to read it twice...... is this real?
100% real.
I heard it on the radio.
I linked to it, the press conference where he says it.
About 9 minutes in.
I had to post it myself because I doubt the msm will cover this statement.
He agreed to the Vacate Motion because Pelosi told him to.
He said it.
From the transcript
IT’S INTERESTING, IT WAS IN THIS ROOM AFTER WE HAD WON THE MAJORITY AND I BECAME SPEAKER, NANCY PELOSI CAME TO ME AND WAS SPEAKER AT THE TIME ON THE WAY OUT, I TOLD HER I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH GETTING ENOUGH VOTES. SHE SAID WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? I SAID THEY WANT ONE PERSON TO RULE OUT. SPEAK WAS THE SPEAKER THAT CHANGED THAT RULE. I HAD THE POWER TO CALL ON HER BUT I WOULDN’T AND LOST VOTES BECAUSE OF IT. AND SHE SAID JUST GIVE IT TO THEM. I’LL ALWAYS BACK YOU UP. I MADE THE SAME OFFER TO BOEHNER AND SAME THING TO PAUL BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE INSTITUTION.
If he did make the deal with the devil he deserves what he got. The problem with republicans is they always make bad deals with democrats. The rats never return the favor.
