House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Omaha Saturday night to speak at the Nebraska Democratic Party's annual Morrison-Exon fundraiser.
The Nebraska Democratic Party said Saturday's turnout was one of the biggest crowds the event has ever seen.
Pelosi urged more women and more diversity in Congress. She pledged $1,000 to the Frank Lamere Grassroots Fellows and Candidates of Color Fund.
The speaker praised rural America and mentioned Nebraskan farmer frustration over the trade war.
"We're fighting for the hardworking Nebraska families left behind in the GOP agenda -- and they are -- and for Nebraska farmers struggling under Trump's trade recklessness and big oil assault on ethanol," Pelosi said.
Pelosi also spoke of the impeachment investigation, she said it was important to protect whistleblowers and the Constitution. She said the impeachment investigation is not about dislike or disagreement. Pelosi said it's a matter of facts.
"What I said when others were urging earlier and swifter action, I said when we have the facts we'll be ready. And we're ready," Pelosi said.
Pelosi laid out her three main focuses for legislation in 2020: lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs, increasing paychecks and building infrastructure "in a green way," and reducing the role of "dark special interest money" in government.
The event's theme was centered around the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote. Pelosi said the theme was fitting since 2019 is also the first time more than a hundred women are in the House of Representatives.
A bat-shite crazy, demonic, californicator Botoxian telling Nebraska farmers how to vote? Biggest crowd ever?
What’d it have? 25 people attending besides the press?
She is such a racist, sexist and liar
A user of people
Nebraskans are lowlife to her
An interesting picture of Mt. Yuckmore.
She spreads more meadow muffins by speaking to democrats, than a whole herd of cattle.
Two serious blue stains on the map of Nebraska: Omaha and Lincoln.
Substantive comments on anything - not found
LOL! Dems have had The House for almost one year; what have they done? After January 1st, it will all be the election, 24/7.
Like Katie Hill! And Ilhan Omar. And AOC.... Right!
Why is she campaining in Mid West. I thought her home port was SF. Since she seems to visit outside her district, why is it she does not take comments from national constituent’s.
And none of these farmers asked her why she is holding up the approval vote on the USMCA agreement thus suppressing commodity prices under the presumption that it will hurt Trump??
Has she buried her brother?
On the netnebraskanews website it says there were “about a thousand” in attendance. I couldn’t capture a link. There is also a photo of a few people outside protesting her.
maybe after the Conyers funeral
You can scratch together a thousand ambulance chasing whiplash attorneys to pony up for a Dhimmocrat
She pledged $1,000 to the Frank Lamere Grassroots Fellows and Candidates of Color Fund.
Morrison was governor about the time JFK was president. Was not a modern day Dem.
She’s campaigning for impeachment based on false charges by an anonymous person who was not present for anything. lol Evil . . .
Did she pledge that from her personal wealth of 240 million net worth? What’s that like a dime for us?
