You brought the smear Ms. Ortiz.
Tossing in an opinion piece from a rag like The Intercept is not actually evidence to support a claim that she is the wrong leader at this time.
First, most of the Democratic caucus supports @NancyPelosi and they trust her.
@kortizart
Second, what about anything @NancyPelosi has ever done, said, or Tweeted would lead you to believe that she won't look Trump in the eye and tell him exactly what's what everytime it is necessary?
She is an unflinching critic of Trump, that will not change.
@kortizart
Speaker Pelosi understands the power of rhetoric and the power of the public forum. She is leading by example.
Trump's words have led people to violence, divided our nation, and polluted the public discourse.
She is being exactly the leader we need.
@kortizart
She gave that speech and then immediately announced an incredibly progressive legislative agenda and that Democrats would be taking immediate action into investigating the Trump administration from top to bottom.
@kortizart
You would prefer the Speaker of the House start an immediate war of words with Mr. Psychotic He literally has a civilian army ready to do his bidding at his slightest suggestion.
Provoking the monster is what a rookie would do, & that would've made things worse.
@kortizart
And Bernie Sanders has been talking about working with Trump since pretty much the first day and continues to... please go find me all the Intercept pieces critical of Sanders for this?
Sanders: I'm 'prepared to work with' Trump politico.com/story/2016/11/…
@kortizart
@NancyPelosi has been navigating Republican polluted waters for a very long time. She knows what she is doing and I trust her.
Knowing what is appropriate to say publicly and what is best left for behind closed doors is essential.
She knows.
