Pelosi: Dems Will Use MLK Day to Organize ‘Teach-Ins’ on GOP ‘Tax Scam’
Free Beacon ^ | 1/11/17 | Paul Crookston

Posted on 01/12/2018 7:17:00 PM PST by Libloather

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday that her party will be using the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to hold events criticizing Republicans' tax reform law.

Speaking at a press conference, Pelosi said that, while a similar push against repealing Obamacare worked well last year, the tax reform bill has already become law. Still, she justified her push to discount the tax plan by noting that King supported equality and therefore would support Democrats' vision of "economic equality" through higher taxes on the wealthy.

"This year on Martin Luther King weekend, we honor his commitment to equality," Pelosi said. "Our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality."

More tired cliches from the Democrats.

They deliver their cliches like tired out unfunny comedians deliver jokes.

They begin the cliche, then pause, look left to right slowly around the room for everyone in attendance to acknowledge their brilliance, give them time to coo at one another and then end the cliche. They pause again, look left to right slowly around the room for the peasants to gush at their brilliancand cio one last time before heading into their next tired out unfunny ridiculous cliche.

I call Pelosi and Shumer "The Cliche Twins"

I doubt she’ll mention the fact that black unemployment is at its lowest recorded level during the Trump administration. Wouldn’t want to ruin the teach-ins with FACTS and not the lies she and her fellow Dems will be spewing!!!

The California Democrat said it is important for people to understand that the tax law...

Has she even read it yet? How does she plan on educating people about something that she hasn't even taken the time to read?

Just try finishing a coherent full sentence then we will start listening to you Nan. Otherwise, just go stroke out already.

Dingbat Pelosi is channeling MLK these days?

Personally, I'd rather hear it directly from him. King was a lot smarter than blindly killing the golden goose.

Pelosi? not so much.

“So how did you spend Martin Luther King Jr. Day?” “I went to one of Nancy Pelosi’s tech-ins.” “How did that go?” We learned many different ways to use the term $hit-hole.”

Nancy is talking to her own hand. So is book author Michael Wolff these days - his book appears to have dropped off the radar screen. I am rather shocked at how many conservative type pundits are agreeing with Trump on his supposed “sh**hole” comment - not the language, but the substance. Indictments were unsealed yesterday & it looks like ‘Sleepy Jeff’ has at least one eye open - starting to pick off the low-hanging fruit in Uranium 1. Judicial Watch court case - judge ruled State Dept. has to produce Hilly emails by September (more previously undisclosed - won’t be yoga, weddings, etc., but classified & pay-to-play per JW). And then, as you mentioned, there’s the OIG report coming down the pike as I type (docs released, more next week) with the speed of the Trump Train ..... people are about to get run over.

I love the smell of covfefe in the morning & the feeling of WINNING!

BTW, people are REALLY TICKED at San Fran Nan’s comments about the $1,000 bonuses being “crumbs”. As they say, to the ‘little people’, not the elite like Pelosi, a $1,000 bonus is not crumbs. She’s going to regret that comment - a somewhat lesser but similar utterance to Hilly’s ‘deplorables’ boo boo.

And we should use MLK Day to teach others about MLK’s sexual behavior (adultery) and illegitimate kid or kids.

Screw the pundits. It's totally predictable.

The simple difference between the PC rose-colored rainbows and unicorns view of the world and reality. Reality always prevails.
Merciless Nature, inaction (or inaction) and consequences deal with the clueless.

Declaring the tax reform law a "scam," Pelosi outlined her plan to hold "teach-ins across the country" to oppose it.
Resistance is futile.

I would love to experience an entire lecture by this carpetbagger inflicted on California. I just hope there is at least one video recording of the stumbling, bumbling incoherent wannabe Fake Casandra.
