Pelosi: ‘I Don’t Think that People Want a New Direction’

‘Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families’

ouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that despite Democrats losing the House, Senate, and almost two-thirds of state houses, the American people don't want a new direction.

The California congressman appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday and instead said the issue facing Democrats is simply a failure of communication.

DICKERSON: “The Democratic Party is in a moment of questioning about its identity. You were reelected to lead the Democrats in the House. What do you tell Democrats who want a new direction and then, go to you, what are you going to do differently?” PELOSI: “Well, I don’t think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families. That’s one that everyone is in agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that message wasn’t coming through. But we are united in terms of the security of our country, which is our first responsibility. To be smart and strong and not reckless in how we protect the American people, strong in how we protect our economy.”

Pelosi also downplayed her party's losses in 2010 and 2016, telling CBS's John Dickerson "You're forgetting that we went up so high in 2006 and 2008."

Pelosi hasn't been correct since she backed Obama eight years ago.

Nancy and her muslim buddy Keith Ellison as the possible new head of the DNC can set the rats back for decades.

Keith Ellison was sworn in, as a new member of congress holding two Korans not a bible, with his good buddy, Nancy Pelosi!

Keith Ellison, Mohammedan. Allahu Akbar!

Well of course the rich, spoiled, eliteist bubble brats don’t want change. They were too busy screwing the American people and stealing their tax dollars while they were being pacifists under the Obama regime because they were under assault every day from every direction by him, you, and the leftists all over this nation. Somebody please drain the sewer in D.C.
ASAP because Pelosi and her kind are exactly the reason America kicked Hillary to the curb and rejected the buttboy in office.

So, this election, with Republicans winning the Presidency, both houses of Congress, and majorities of governorships and state legislatures, validates how much the American people approve of Democrat policies.

Nobody can be that stupid, which leaves insanity and mendacity.

She needs some new injections. Enough to keep her lips locked in place for at least 2 more months when Trump is sworn in.

They don’t want to mention the statehouse losses because they don’t believe in states

You’re exactly right Nancy. Don’t change a thing. In fact, you should trot Hillary out periodically to screech and stumble. Ellison is a nice addition for the Dims. He can tell us about wonderful muzzies and terrible christians. He has a special evil look that will make everyone confident. Oh!, I almost forgot Elizabeth, Bernie and Jill. They’ll be a big help. Don’t listen to your critics Nancy, you’ve got this one pegged. The only problem I see for you is that your endless supply of victims is dwindling. Plenty of Villains though. Good luck.

Go Nancy go! We’re all behind you. Don’t change a thing. You’re doing great. Please contact her and let her know we agree. Embrace the suck Nancy. Embrace the suck. You came. You saw. And you embraced the suck.
