Why Nancy Pelosi Charged This GOP Rep. on House Floor: ‘I Hit the Right Nerve’
Mediaite ^ | 2 Aug 2014 | Evan McMurry

Representative Tom Marino’s (R-PA) accusation that the Democratically-controlled House of the late Bush administration did not address lapses in border security had then-Speaker and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) charging toward him on the House floor Friday night.

This had Pelosi running up to Marino to rebut the accusation off-mic and without being recognized.

They can read the mid-term polls and becoming unhinged. They know they’re going down big time.

It wasn’t just democratically controlled late in the Bush administration. The democrats controlled both houses of congress and the White House early in the Obama administration. They failed.

Oh! Come on! Stop with that! I wish it were her, but it ain’t.

BTW; Pelosi said she received an apology from the guy. She didn’t! Her staff is lying!

He nailed her. Good. We may not be on the brink of a tsunami election, but the ‘rats are running scared. That may be all the satisfaction I get. Because the people can’t do without their bread and circuses....

For the last 50 year, the last bunch that took border control seriously was the Eisenhower administration.

I agree! Butt, using a false pic isn’t necessary, as she has done so much worthy of ridicule!
