House Democrats demand Polosi be replaced as Speaker!

Blame her for backing of socialism.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 6, 2020 - House Democrats savaged Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a family venting session that featured yelling and crying lawmakers in the wake of the Party’s losses on Thursday.

The drama on the three-hour conference call played out live on Twitter, as details were leaked to the Capitol Hill press corps, who tweeted all the wild details.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat from Virginia who narrowly won a second term on Tuesday night, yelled out her frustration, accusing Party leaders of bowing to demand from the liberals, like members of “The Squad”.

Democrats kept control of the House in this year’s election but their majority shrank and it was moderate members of the Party who lost. The final results aren't in but Democrats could lose up to 10 seats.

“We need to be pretty clear,” Spanberger said of election night results. “It was a failure. It was not a success. We lost incredible members of Congress.”

“No one should say ‘defund the police’ ever again,” Spanberger said, referring to one of the liberals’ demands. “Nobody should be talking about socialism.”

Spanberger continued to unload on Democrat leaders, warning that if the Party kept up these tactics in the 2022 election, “We will get f****** torn apart.”

Spanberger was hit with multiple attack ads accusing her of trying to defund the police after she voted for a police reform bill. The issue was a heated one this summer during the mass of Black Lives Matters looting and riots that swept the nation. President Donald Trump and Republicans countered the racial tension by accusing Democrats of not supporting police officers.

Pelosi pushed back against Spanberger.

”I do disagree, Abigail, that it was a failure. We won the House,” said Pelosi.

She also told lawmakers to come to her personally with any worries and gave out her personal cell phone number.

Meanwhile, one lawmaker who lost her race broke down and cried during the session.

As details from the conference call emerged in the Twitter feeds of Capitol Hill reporters, lawmakers demanded the guilty leakers be found - information that was immediately leaked to the press.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), a member of Democrat leadership, jumped into the call midway through to tell those on it to stop leaking. He also reminded them that reporters aren’t their friends.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) took it a step further and demanded Jeffries find the leakers.

There are 232 Democrat lawmakers and all of them could have been on the call, which is for all members of the Party. Staff could have been listening too, which would make it harder to find the person or persons who were leaking.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), a Squad member along with fellow Congressmen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), defended their group, all of whom won re-election.

“Don’t blame myself and others who are fighting for issues that matter to our communities,” she said. “We need to do a real autopsy and dig through it before attacking each other.”

Rep. Marc Veasey of Texas also voiced his frustration, saying the Left’s approach to defunding the police and banning fracking gave Republicans fuel for their attack ads.

Veasey said he had watched GOP commercial after commercial using video footage of Democrats uttering the words, “defund the police,” to great effect.

The call was billed as a family session but became a bitch fest between the liberal wing of the Party and its more moderate members - all of whom were disappointed by the Democrats failure to win more seats. The Party expected to pick up five or more on election night.

Rep. Cheri Bustos, who led Democrat efforts to add to their House majority, defended her work. The Illinois Democrat, a moderate, barely won her own race.

She blamed the polls for misrepresenting the electorate.

“Something went wrong,” she said. “They all pointed to one political environment - but voters who turned out look a lot like 2016.”

House Democrat leaders were shaken up by Tuesday’s results and said they would hold a postmortem review of the election strategy that went wrong.
