Nancy Pelosi Compares Impeachment Effort to American Revolution
2019-10-20
[BREITBART] House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
(D-CA) on Thursday compared the Democrat-led impeachment effort to the American Revolution, telling a crowd at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum that "the times have found us."

The speaker, who ultimately caved to the far-left flank’s ceaseless calls for impeaching the president, delivered a speech at the DNC’s Women’s Leadership Forum on Thursday and essentially compared the Democrat-led impeachment effort to the American Revolution, quoting Thomas Paine.

"Now at the beginning of our country ‐ Mr. Chairman, I know you’ve heard me say this many times, so forgive me ‐ beginning of our country, Thomas Paine said this is the dark days of the Revolution. He said that times have found us," she stated, declaring that Democrats see themselves in a similar position.

"The times have found us," she continued.

"We think the times have found us now‐ you, Mr. Chairman, everyone in this room who sacrificed their time, resources, and the rest. No need to be here but to be there for our candidates so that we can make a better future," Pelosi said.

"None of us came to Congress to impeach a president. Not anybody, not anybody. That’s not what we are about," she continued. "But we did take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic"

#13   Jordan- giggle. WTF does she expect to achieve there?
An opportunity to pull her headscarf from storage so she can reprise her pseudo-hijab 'dhimmi' attire? Repeating her "fact finding jaunts" in the past to the Middle East in search of relevance -- or to look for campaign contributions from Muslim PACs (but don't call it foreign influence!).

#10   Nancy does Jordan. Her stated reasons for the trip are:
“Our bipartisan delegation is visiting Jordan at a critical time for the security and stability of the region,” Pelosi said in a statement. “With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey’s incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to ISIS, Iran and Russia.”

Duties of Speaker or meddling? Do such powers exist in Article 2 of the Constitution for the Legislature? Or is this an over-reach of power.

How's she getting over there? Airforce planes? Route the planes by way of Alaska or some remote place on the other side of the world.
