I find it interesting that there are four leaders in Congress, only one is a woman, and she is the only person who folks are going after.
And that the House Democrats just picked up at least 34 seats – the most in a generation – and she just helped make them committee chairs. npr.org/2018/11/14/667…
I also find it interesting – though not surprising – that the effort to go after her is being led by four men in Congress.
When I worked for @NancyPelosi, she had just become Democratic Whip - the first woman of either party to hold that rank. She whipped the caucus to vote against the war in Iraq, even after Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt stood with President Bush in support of the war.
She was the Speaker of the House when we passed the Affordable Care Act. As @BarackObama has said himself, we would not have the ACA without her.
I will never forget the meeting with her, when I was at PP, where she told me in the middle of that fight that she would not pass the ACA if it banned insurance coverage for abortion. Though many "progressive" men were willing to throw women under the bus, she was not.
I’m a free citizen - no one has asked me to do this - but I am honestly sick of men going after women any time we dare demand equal power. For all of these reasons and more, I enthusiastically support @NancyPelosi for Speaker.
