Tlaib: It Is Very Disappointing That Pelosi Would Try To Diminish Our Voices
[FREEBEACON] Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) said that she was disappointed in 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., Calif.) for trying to diminish progressive voices during a Sunday appearance on ABC's This Week.

Host Martha Raddatz asked Tlaib about Pelosi's recent criticism of Tlaib and three other prominent progressives who voted against the border aid bill passed before the July 4th recess.

"What would you say directly to Nancy Pelosi?" Raddatz asked.

"All of us have these experiences that I think have been missing in the halls of Congress. Honor that, respect that, put us at the table. Let's come up with a solution together," Tlaib said. "It is very disappointing that the Speaker would ever try to diminish our voices in so many ways."

In an interview with the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, Pelosi downplayed the influence of Tlaib, Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
(D., N.Y.) Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
(D., Minn.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.).

"All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world," Pelosi said. "But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got."

"People like us ... we're reflective of our nation in many ways," Tlaib responded. "But more people like us have been missing in the halls of Congress. More people like us, people of color, have been missing in the chamber. We know what it feels like to be dehumanized. We know what it feels like to be brown and black in this country."

#2 Given the Left tries daily to shut down other peoples' voices, it displays chutzpah to play that card.

I assume it's better than being a person of color in your native country, or you wouldn't be here.
