To say that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi might be liberal would be like saying that the Pope might be Catholic. If hard-line liberalism hadn’t been invented yet, she would have pioneered it herself. It completely makes sense that she is a Representative from the left coast, and would love to visit San Fransisco.
Unfortunately, a town hall meeting that she had in her home state didn’t quite go as she’d planned. Some of her constituents aren’t as thrilled with her work as she herself obviously is. Is it possible for a politician to get too liberal even for San Fransisco? She went to her Mecca, and they still heckled her.
Via The Blaze:
Pelosi appeared at Balboa High School in San Francisco, along with Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), to discuss the fate of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, Russia’s interference in the U.S. elections, and climate change.
Pelosi was Speaker of the House when Obamacare passed in 2010. At the time, she was a proponent of moving toward a single-payer health care system, but after it became clear that such a bill couldn’t pass the Democratic-controlled House and Senate, Democrats settled for an “individual mandate” based plan instead. The result was the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Despite previous previous efforts at the federal level to move to a single-payer system, however, protesters in Pelosi’s liberal San Francisco district came out in full force Saturday to continue to advocate for socialized medicine. Pelosi tried to defend her progressive stance on the issue, but protesters weren’t satisfied.
Every single time Pelosi tried to speak up for herself, someone would cut her off or call her out.
Watch below:
It looks like the 77-year-old may be reaching the end of her relevance if even the citizens of SF can’t take her rhetoric. Here’s hoping that Californians see the light and replace the most powerful women in the House with someone who actually has their wits about them.
