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since there was a constant periscope feed of the sit-in, if the rule about the speaker having control of the camera is obsolete.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.”

Replacing monitors that died due to having coffe spewed over them isn’t cheap, ya know. It doesn’t fall under the warranty.

The only reason they wore sweaters is because they couldn’t find straitjackets for them. Loons & Losers! I laugh at their mental illness.

Hollywood writers will be fighting each other for the movie and book rights to tell the epic story about how a few dozen democrats had to endure ridicule, carpet burn, an air conditioner set too low.

As a matter of fact, yes they did. I saw photos online of a buffet laid out in food warmers for them. Oh the sacrifices...

These are the people in charge!!! Not “representatives” in charge. The only representing they do is when they tell you what the government is going to do to you. This vacuous stupid woman!!! Why is she still sucking oxygen?

“Wait....they wore sweaters in the middle of summer and the devastating global warming?”

They’re democrats, they don’t have to make sense.

Methinks the botox has finally done in the Fugly Ones brain.
Who knew botox and liberalism could be such a lethal combination?

Not snowflakes. Geriatrics reliving the protests of their youth. But complaining like the old folks they are.
