Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was rebuked as an "elite" during a recent Oxford Union debate, where she argued that populism in the United States is a threat to democracy.
Pelosi — a self-described "devout" Catholic — said during the April 25 debate that certain Americans, whom she considered to be "poor souls who are looking for some answers," refuse to accept the answers Democrats give them on particular topics due to their beliefs about "guns, gays, [and] God."
Challenging Pelosi's position in the debate about populism, Winston Marshall, a musician who was once a part of Mumford and Sons and now hosts the "Marshall Matters" podcast for The Spectator, spoke in opposition to the Oxford Union motion that "This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy."
The Oxford Union at the UK's famed university holds itself as a defender of free speech, and has hosted events with numerous U.S. politicians in the past, including former Republican House Speakers Newt Gingrich and Kevin McCarthy.
Marshall argued at the April 25 debate that the meaning of the word "populist" has been changed by "elites [who] have failed" to align with their own narrative.
"'Populism' has become a word used synonymously with ‘racist.’ We've heard ‘ethno-nationalist,’ we have ‘bigot,’ we have ‘hillbilly,’ ‘redneck,’ we have ‘deplorable,’" Marshall said. Pelosi had argued in her remarks that contemporary American populism currently had an ethno-nationalist character.
"Elites use it to show their contempt for ordinary people," Marshall said.

In case anyone cares, the attendees at this debate voted overwhelmingly that populism IS a threat to democracy.
Marshall said the way the cameras were set up you couldn’t see how badly she was behaving during the event. When he was speaking, she was constantly scowling and mouthing things like “Who do you think you are?” at him.
I hope there is vid of Mean Queen Nanzi doing this!! Needs to go viral, if so.
Thx.

“Democracy” has become a perjorative term too.
Yes, Nancy. My right to protect myself from tyrannical government, including use of deadly force with a gun, is, as I am a human being with inalienable rights. , sacrosanct. And yes, homosexuality is unnatural and unhealthy, and should not be encouraged. And further, yes, there is indeed a God. And he’s not very happy with you.
“Seems that liberal white women are always condescending.”
What happens when white trash get rich.
Anything of true American value is “threat to democracy” in Nancy’s book.
Sit down, you nasty old harpy.
Pelosi is living proof on why we need term limits.

Nah Nanners, we’re just envious of your expensive refrigerator filled with the deluxe flavors of your favorite pricey ice cream. How about ‘Heavenly Hash’ since you’re ‘so close to God’.
I am the eggman. I am the walrus. Googoogajoob.
“Wonder if she still prays for Trump?”
Does she still the that doll that looks like him with the pins in it?
...and her interrupting was the height of arrogance and rudeness💯
Her calling out from her chair there demonstrated she has the patience of a 2yr old.
Ive labelled her Co-POTUS. She makes it obvious that she knows more than anyone.
On another note she was videotaped one time walking the halls going somewhere and the rorter asked Where to Nancy?
She acted all in a huff, looked doen her nose and , Im going to a meeting of the continuance of government.
This is what she wants you to know-shes important , etc....
but she broke a major rule- it is rather forbidden to use that phrase much less discuss in public- it raises alarm bells.
She said this during Pres Trumps time in office and as everyone knows she & chuckles & more ‘rats were trying to tamp down , ridicule and disparage him. She said this cont of gov to infer to those reporters that something sinister afoot & Pres Trump is at fault,intimstely tied to and should be removed from office. Imagine that!🤔
she hates on him 😤😤big time i really mean hate
As a Christian I would love to say that I don’t hate anyone but being human and thus fallible, I must admit my shortcoming. That said, I absolutely despise this woman, and pray for God to remove her from us as soon as He sees fit. Were it up to me, her name would be stricken from every record book, and humanity would be ordered to forget that such a wicked, despicable, conniving, degenerate, evil, hateful, spiteful harridan ever existed and held even a modicum of political power.
Nobody died and christened her queen or god or anything else and she ought to know it. She doesn’t deserve her prestige, and I refuse to give her any respect. She receives nothing but contempt from me. Let her be received back to the bosom of her father, the father of all lies.
Dang...
Where Have You Been?
.
Pelosi should be
Eaten by Dogs!
.
From your Lips to God’s Ears!!!
Eaten by worms...
Acts 12:21-23
KJV
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Americans refuse to listen to Democrats about certain issues.

The word the democrats just can’t seem to get rid of if they stay in power they will have won.
