Pelosi: Democrats Wore Sweaters to Deal With ‘Freezing’ Conditions During Sit-In Chandler Gill

BY: June 23, 2016 3:38 pm

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday that Democrats had to wear sweaters to endure freezing conditions on the House floor during the Democratic sit-in on gun control, but she said those conditions could not deter her.

A reporter brought up the live periscope feed that showed the sit-in since CSPAN cameras were not allowed to film because the floor was in recess. The reporter asked, since there was a constant periscope feed of the sit-in, if the rule about the speaker having control of the camera is obsolete.

Pelosi asked for clarification on this rule.

“The rule about the Speaker has control of the cameras to cover the floor of the House,” the reporter said.

Pelosi responded by stating that Ryan had “awesome power.” She noted that he also had the power to control the lights and even the heat.

“Let me think about that,” Pelosi said. “It’s irrelevant. I think that that’s something—the Speaker has awesome power. The Speaker has control of the lights, the heat. It was freezing in there last night. It was freezing. People were starting with sweaters and then blankets, and then I think they were practically having rugs, because it was freezing in there. That was one way, but we would not be deterred.”

Well, does that mean they'll strip naked when they get to Hades for their "just reward"? **shudder**

That's just hideous to think about. The devil's torment squads could take some time off. Jest open yer eyes take a gander at this group, folks! That's punishment enough! d;^)

If I was running for public office I would encourage ALL government buildings in Washington DC be removed of air conditioning. It would help the environment, lower costs, and make all the pigs sweat.

The horror of what they had to endure! Such bravery! I’m surprised that they didn’t have to resort to cannibalism during that excruciating 25 hour ordeal.

Question: How did she know it was cold? Did the pressure monitor in her breast implants send her a “flat tire” signal, or did the shrinkage in her multiple facial reconstructions result in her ears moving to their respective sides of her head from their normal overlapping position 180 degrees from her nose?

Please do not use the term ‘naked’ when discussing Pelosi. Thanks in advance.

And the lights. Lock the doors and let them sweat in the dark. That he lacked the courage to do this tells you all you need to know.

Maybe she could do her part for “climate change” and have them turn the AC off. No need to turn her self-imposed “hardship” into a Dickens novel.
