Pelosi Responds to Speculation She Might Retire in 2022
The Epoch Times ^ | 10-23-21 | Jack Philliphs

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not issue a definitive answer about whether she will run for reelection in 2022 while she was being questioned during a Sunday morning interview.

Pelosi, who was first elected to the House in 1986, was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if she is planning on running for her congressional seat, which encompasses most of San Francisco.

“Oh, you think I’m going to make an announcement right here and now?” the House speaker said in response.

When pressed again during the CNN interview, Pelosi stated: “Why would I tell you that now?” and added: “Probably, I would have that conversation with my family first, if you don’t mind.”

Previously, Pelosi said that she would not try to make a bid to become the speaker of the House after she was elected to her position again for the fourth time earlier this year. In 2018, she told House Democrats that she would only serve two terms as House speaker, reaffirming that commitment in November of last year.

However, during an interview with MSNBC in June, Pelosi attempted to downplay speculation that she would retire.

I think Nanzy will quit if she loses the Speakership. I think that’s likely in 2022. But, she can’t say that . . .

People like Nancy identify so much with their job that if they lose it, or retire, they die shortly after. (Good morning, Speaker. Can I get coffee for you? Here’s your agenda for today. Senator So-and-so called and wants an audience.) Suddenly people are not greeting them. They don’t leave the house. There is no longer any reason for them to live. Usually, when those people die the world becomes a better place.

A secret service agent said of former president Johnson, approximatly, “He had a briefing every day and ordered that the cows would give x amount of milk. It was ridiculous.”

She pretty much set the all time record for lost house seats in a single election 11 years ago.

2022 is shaping up to beat even that, barring massive fraud. Harder to cheat where they don’t already have full local control

If she croaks in office, we’ll have flags at half mast for a month and she’ll lie in state for two weeks. Need plenty of time for the mourners to stream past the ghoul’s coffin.

The only way Pelosi retires is when she’s carried out of the Capitol building on a stretcher, with a blanket over her head.

She won’t retire, because retiring is a choice. I think her departure will involve a set of four wheels.

I’ll uncork the champagne on that momentous occasion.

And she'll still end up in hell.

I’m not ons to wish ill on people, but my reaction to this scenario is “the sooner, the better.”

Pelosi is as dead as Ruth Bader Ginsberg. You are just seeing a mummified cyborg.

Yep, she would never step down. Now if she was still around when Trump runs and wins again....she might but I don’t think she would give him the satisfaction.

Sure she will.

Feet first.

Considering her age, I’m going to guess her chances of dying in 2022 are significantly greater than that of her retiring.

Satan cannot keep her alive forever.

Her conscience died decades ago. Her body is just waiting to catch up.
