Nancy Pelosi gives her FIRST SPEECH as newly elected House Speaker of the 117th Congress

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lost five Democratic defectors in her razor-thin margin for winning reelection to what is likely to be her final term as Speaker on Sunday in a vote that fell under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic and a historically thin House majority.

Pelosi managed to win over some of the 15 Democrats who previously declined to back her for Speaker in 2019 to muscle her way to another two years leading House Democrats.

But a handful of centrists who represent competitive districts who also opposed Pelosi for Speaker in 2019 did so again on Sunday at the start of the new session of Congress.

Primary the 'Squad' and those hypocrites out of there. It's so comforting to know not one of them listened or paid attention to all the phone calls, and e-mails to not vote for this woman. Not an ounce of moral fiber in any of them.
