Nancy Pelosi Threatens Newt Gingrich: Another Meltdown?
Over the years, while a member of the U.S. House, Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has acquired quite a legacy for saying and doing some truly foolish things
Among her most memorable faux pas moments are the following:
- Catholic fathers have not concluded whether or not abortion is wrong.
- Enforcement of America’s borders & immigration laws is “un-American.”
- Those who oppose building a mosque at ground zero in New York should be investigated by Congress.
- It was imperative to pass ObamaCare in a heated rush so that Congress could then determine what was exactly in the bill.
- Sealing off the Mexican border to prevent illegal drugs from coming into America is far too expensive and ineffective. Better to spend taxpayer money on treatment programs for those Americans actually harmed by such illegal drugs.
Despite information to the contrary in all the polls, Democrats would retain majority control over the U.S. House as a result of the 2010 elections, and she would return as Speaker.
Pelosi’s latest mind warp caused her to stick her unwelcome, unneeded, and uninformed nose in the Republican nominating process by, in effect, issuing a threat against Newt Gingrich.
As reported, the Pelosi bombshell included the following exchange with John King of CNN:
John King, CNN: “You make your case there passionately for President Obama. But also understand that this is a tough reelection climate for any president, Democrat or Republican in this economy. Because of your history with Speaker Gingrich, what goes through your mind when you think of the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi: “Let me just say this. That will never happen.”
King: “Why?”
Pelosi: “He’s not going to be President of the United States. That’s not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn’t going to happen.”
King: “Why are you so sure?”
Pelosi: “There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that’s their prerogative. I don’t even think that’s going to happen.”
When asked about Pelosi’s threat, Gingrich had the perfect rejoinder:
Bring it on! I would prefer to have her threats than her endorsement!
And so it is in the battle for preeminence among former Speakers of the U.S. House!
