Pelosi sets record with 8-hour marathon speech on DACA

Washington (CNN) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke for a little more than eight hours to oppose the budget deal to lift spending caps and avert a government shutdown -- because the plan does not address immigration issues.

The House Historian's office told CNN that Pelosi's speech is the longest on record on the House floor, according to their records.

Pelosi started speaking shortly after 10 a.m. ET, and wrapped the speech a little after 6:10 p.m. ET.

"I have had the privilege of reading the testimony from Dreamers, I still have more," she said, receiving applause in the chamber. "I thank all of you."

A source close to the California Democrat told CNN she thought of the idea overnight to speak for hours on the House floor. The source said she was wearing four-inch-heels while delivering the speech and only sipped water.

She stands up for 8 hours for foreign nationals. I’ll bet she’d never do that for the American people. What a skank.

Wikipedia notes that Pelosi set this record while wearing stiletto heels. Because that’s important. Because she is the most awesomest ever.

Has she ever spoke 8 hours about American dreams? Just another Marxist pandering for her voters.

Eight hour paid vacation time for other 433 members of the House of Representatives with a potential “Government Shut Down” two days later.

The “Peoples’ Representatives” - my eye they are!

Yeah, at the State of the Union she wasn’t able to stand. Must have been some kind of back injury.

+1. To be honest not many younger people could go standing for that long. This will yield endless blooper cuts though.

I wonder WHO will stand in respect for the million Mexicans who honestly attempted to get to the USA and were turned down, after giving finger prints, interviews, economic status and were LAW abiding. Will there EVER be anyone who will APOLOGIZE to them for charging them $110 fee to interview them and say NO.

“Pelosi sets record with 8-hour marathon speech on DACA”

And in her anesthetized state of mind, she probably through she was speaking for her allotted 5 minutes.
