House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested Friday that criticism of freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her “impeach the [bleep]” remark is driven by sexism and, while she does not condone the Michigan Democrat’s language, she is “not in the censorship business.” USA Today Washington Bureau chief Susan Page was on hand at the town hall-style meeting, slated to air on MSNBC this evening, tweeting live updates of Pelosi’s discussion with host Joy Reid. Asked whether Tlaib’s’s call for President Donald Trump to be impeached hurts the Democrats’ “hurts the case,” Pelosi replied: “The enthusiasm that our members have helps the case, any case….We try to build our consensus on how we go forward. It doesn’t hurt the cause when people speak the truth.”
Touching on impeachment moments earlier, Pelosi stated that while “The outrage that people feel about impeachment is legitimate,” it would be premature to move forward with the measure.
Moments later, Pelosi addressed Tlaib’s impeachment remark in which she appeared to excuse the expletive-laden attack on the president, referring to the Palestinian-American lawmaker’s pledge as “generational.”
“I don’t like the language,” the speaker told Reid, later adding, “I’m not in the censorship business.”
In an apparent attempt to blame sexism for the blowback the Tlaib received, Pelosi wondered aloud what the response would have been if a man made the same comment. “What she said is less offensive than what President Trump said about John McCain,” claimed Pelosi.
Rashida Tlaib
Why not add islamophobic?
“Sexist”
What?
But I’m triggered.
Demos think the president should act presidential. They’re okay with their own members acting like trash.
Whataboutism is a nonsensical wet blanket complaint. Perfectly valid to use. Jesus engaged in it.
LOL! Of course we’re the evil bad guys for calling out the moose limb rude comments.
why not ignore these Freshman.
Women will never gove up fake sexism charges/ie the vagina card, just like blacks will never give up the race card.
Oh yes, let's all return to the good old days of George W Bush...
Pelosi better watch her back.
She might be Madame Speaker. But the new face of the Democrat Party is dumb runts like Occasional Kotex and this Talib muzzlette.
This works for me. Let these new rat bitches spew their idiocy, hatred, vulgarity and ignorance.
Let them personify the typical democrat.
What a fine example Pelosi sets for children. Her minions are out of her control.
The muzzie infiltrating scum is Real.
Muzzies like the rat party are playing for keeps.
The congress is truly infected now.
<< she is “not in the censorship business.” >>
She sure is. But just like her fellow liberal fascists, only when it comes to speech she doesn’t like. She obviously loved what spewed out of commie-Cortez’s piehole.
See anyone in the background of Tlaib's photo looking anything but pleased? That is today's Democrat party, and it truly has infected the government.
The Democrat/Nancy Pelosi “Three Ring Circus & Keystone Cops” episodes have started in the House of Representatives. The Democrat “Nutcase” inmates are let loose and mouthing their vulgar thoughts with ease and insanity.
Nancy Pelosi is no more a “Speaker of the House”, then I can eat Swiss cheese on the surface of the Moon, yet she is the elected choice of her Democrat Lunatics & Buffoons to be their leader. The good news is we will all be entertained by the “Nancy Pelosi Kabuki Showcase” for the next two years.
However.....as she (Pelosi) and Chuck Schumer departed the White House, Pelosi & Schumer and their group of Democrat low life goons did not look or happy or pleased as they departed Trumpville. Why? Trump has won!!! This game is over folks...Trump is winning big time!!! Anyone that watched the House session yestereday, that nothing of substance came forward from, just trash legislation going nowhere but the nearest trash can..will understand...PELOSI IS NOT THE ONE!!!
Trump commented on her statement. He did not appear bothered. Her name seemed to be of no importance to him.
Say that about obama and see what happens.
PIGlosi.
