Pelosi Threatens Moderate Democrats for Voting With GOP on Procedural Votes

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) told moderate Democrats during a closed-door meeting on Thursday to stop siding with Republicans on procedural votes, saying they could become a lower priority for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2020.

Pelosi met with the Democratic Caucus behind closed doors to discuss recent procedural votes that exposed the divisions within the party, according to two individuals who spoke to Politico. Since the Democrats took over the House last month, Republicans have won two motions to recommit, including a Wednesday vote that angered progressives, Politico reported.

There are two civil wars brewing in the Congressional DemoKKKrat Party:

1) The uber Leninist whackadoodles against the Old Guard featherbedders who are libs but who want to keep their gigs.

2) Pelosi’s majority vs. the last few “common sense” DemoKKKrats who know the Party is in a death spiral.

Popcorn!!!

I think Nancy is afraid of her. No doubt the old bat sees the writing on the wall.

From the article:

In contrast to the Democrats, Republicans were unified and didn't lose a single motion when they controlled the House from 2011 to 2019.

I hope that you are right about the popcorn.

What if the Dems eliminate the procedural tactic that has prompted the uproar — the “motion to recommit”?

Democrats ran vets and moderates in Red areas to take back control of the House. They never planned on them having an ounce of power.

Note that Botoxic flat said there will be no vote on a GND, while Occasional Cortex (aka Dead Eyes) said she’s gonna have a “list” of moderate congressmen.

This is what Nancys mad about:

"The latest defeat came on Wednesday, as the House debated legislation requiring background checks on all gun sales — a position overwhelmingly favored by Democrats. When Republicans moved to amend the bill to require Immigration and Customs Enforcement be told of any undocumented immigrant who tries to buy a gun, 26 Democrats voted with the GOP. The language was added to the gun bill, spoiling an important Democratic legislative achievement."
