Nancy Pelosi actually making sense for a change

[AustinN4]

Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a statement late Tuesday denouncing violent left-wing “Antifa” protesters, saying they deserve “unequivocal condemnation” — a move that marks a significant shift away from a Democratic narrative that attacked President Trump for highlighting violence from the “alt-left.”

Curious what her ulterior motive is.

Maybe she figured out that the majority of Americans stand behind President Trump.

I think there is more to it than that and I don't think she cares about who supports Trump.

Politics, of course. Is she up for reelection, or anything? Maybe wants her old job back after the 2018 midterms if the dems do well in the House.

Remember your talking about a delusional old libtard. I'm sure she's just rambling on.

Dude--she's in the House. EVERY House member is up for re-election every two years. So, yeah--she's up for re-election.

She's been an incumbent since the Regan era.

Her brainless constituents gave her 80% of the popular vote.

She's not going anywhere, her cold lifeless corpse will have to be dragged from the House.

Thanks for the obvious, but has she declared to run? If she doesn't run she isn't going to get reelected.

I doubt she is worried about getting reelected. She IS from the "land of fruit and nuts" and they have kept this "nut" in office for DECADES! So, I don't see her going anywhere soon.

The only reason they are saying anything (media, politicians) is because the attacks at Berkeley by Antifa left the with no scapegoat.

Antifa came in and attacked a group who has spoken out publicly on numerous occasions against racism, one group was lead by a transvestite. They don't know how to deal with their own supposed victims who disagree.

Then there are numerous videos of antifa members chasing people down and beating them. Nobody was fighting back against Antifa. No video to edit so you only see right wingers throwing rocks. Only video of individuals running away and being kicked and beaten by groups of Antifa members. Even reporters at the event were attacked.


The real shame is that this is what it took for them to admit the issue. In the end it's still political though. She's only figuring out that more Americans are against this kind of violence and know where it's coming from. I doubt it will change her mind about doubling down on the policies that cost them the presidential election.

I agree, but her statement might lose her some support from the left. It just seems odd after her condemnation of Trump for him basically saying the same thing.

As much as I hate to admit it, Dan has made some good points on the use of labels.

Not all Democrats are "the left", at least not to the extent of supporting such violence. Most are not. Just as most on the right (even far right) don't support white nationalists or any racism for that matter.


Then again, I may have taken your reference to the left to include a broader group than you intended. If she is worried about losing votes from the true left communist factions she is worrying about a fairly small group. Or maybe I'm giving California too much credit. Something I typically try to avoid.

She's like a crack whore--she can't quit the best drug she's ever known: POWER--perceived and/or real.

That doesn't matter to her. She's only beholden to her campaign contributors first and her district's voters a distant second. The rest of US don't matter.

I'm wondering if something has happened between antifa and big labor...

Stop the presses, schedule a news conference, Pelosi and YG both turn over a new leaf on the same day!
