Nancy Pelosi broke House rules that have been in place since the days of Jefferson. And the Democrats today voted to allow her to break those rules.
Escalating tensions on Capitol Hill erupted into a floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- and Pelosi's words were eventually ruled out of order by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat.
"The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President,” Hoyer said. “The words should not be used in debate.”
Democrats were voting along party lines in favor of effectively overruling Hoyer and keeping Pelosi's comments on the record, with one Democrat member of Congress telling Fox News, "We’re going to defend our Speaker."
Democrats hate America and are working hard to bring our nation down.
Shameful.
