Nancy Pelosi Blocks House from Reading Names of 13 Killed U.S. Servicemembers
2021-09-02
[Breitbart] Wicked Witch of the West House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday blocked the House from publicly reading the names of the 13 killed U.S. service members in Afghanistan, House Republicans said.

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) told the Floridan that Pelosi ignored the Republicans’ request to read the names, instead she "just closed the House down."

"We gaveled in, had a prayer, said the Pledge of Allegiance, took a moment of silence with pretty much all Republican veterans, then asked to be recognized to read names and bring up Afghanistan legislation," Mast told the Floridian. "They did not acknowledge us, and just closed the House down."

Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-FL) tweeted a rhetorical question of whether Pelosi is attempting "to cover up" the Afghan debacle by not allowing the names to be read publicly on the floor.

"How badly do Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats want to cover up this Afghanistan debacle?" Gimenez asked. "They just blocked Members of Congress from reading the names of the service members who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan last week. Don’t you think our military deserves better?"

Then each Congressional Rep that had a Service Member Killed should "just happen" to mention the former voter names. As they VOTE on whatever next bill the Socialcrats try to push thru.

"I raise as the Congressional Representative elected to represent "________ that was killed on __/__/___ in ________."

#1  A diversion made more complex by a follow-on diversion.

Notice how the crisis at the border, State 2020 election audits, inflation, the so-called 'infrastructure bill', the increase in urban crime, and Hunter Biden's problems have has suddenly fallen out of favor with the media.
