Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    emptywheel Retweeted Tim Dickinson

    Paul Ryan is mostly just angry that Pelosi knows how to count and he doesn't. It must be humiliating to be the second GOP Speaker in a row who has had to rely on Pelosi to do your counting.https://twitter.com/7im/status/1027966543882121216 …

    But most of the national debate about Pelosi isn't driven by honest frustration over her leadership, rather a massive multimillion dollar campaign by Paul Ryan's superpac and others to appeal to sexism and homophobia by making her a Boogiewoman

        Also notable: “Paul Ryan’s super PAC” should be illegal, as the phrase itself denotes coordination, which is supposedly not allowed even under Citizens United.

        And so those ads are the reason Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't say "Yes," but rather only hedged, when she was asked by Chris Cuomo if she'd support Pelosi? Huh.https://twitter.com/7im/status/1027966543882121216 …

        Puns N' Roses Retweeted Bill Kristol

        What? From AOC/progressives' POV (myself included) someone else should replace Pelosi at helm. BUT, that doesn't make GOP's sexiest attacks OK, nor do progressives take cues from GOPers (unlike some centrist Dems who've embraces R scum like Frum & 👇 https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1027541062737383426?s=19 …).

        Puns N' Roses added,

        Bill KristolVerified account @BillKristol
        Pelosi would do her party a favor by announcing that though she looks forward to being part of a Democratic majority, she thinks it's time for a new leader, that she won't stand for Speaker, and that she's urging her fellow 75-and-over colleagues in leadership not do so as well.

        1) I don't take cues from them, either. 2) You say, "From AOC/progressives' POV (myself included) someone else should replace Pelosi at helm." And you say that has nothing to do with whatever money Paul Ryan's PAC is spending to bash Pelosi. Seems we agree.

        Progressives neither take cues from GOP to like or dislike any Dems, nor should they let GOP influence their push to have the party leadership reflect the base. Likewise, we critique Obama's presidency based on his record & aren't influenced by GOP smears.

        It doesn’t help that she’s a very popular whipping gal for the Left either.

        R”s beating up on a Pelosi just like they beat up on Hillary for Benghazi has nothing to do with competence only about strong women.
