Since when did this POS become a Catholic Moral Authority? She does not speak for me that’s for sure. The Church becomes weaker when they don’t stand up and speak out against these morally bankrupt politicians. Makes me sick.

Pelosi is coming close to hate-speech. She certainly does not represent the people, or even her party. She seems to represent the opposite of American traditional values. She seems to speak for an athiestic progressive faction. Anybody agree? Who elected this hate-filled partisan?

I suggest Nancy enjoy her ill-gotten-gains quickly while here on earth.

Her future in the afterlife looks bleak.
