Windbag Pelosi Speaks for Over Eight Hours to Advocate for Illegals

Let it be recognized that Democrat Nancy Pelosi spoke for the longest amount of time in over a century when she mounted what some are referring to as a “filibuster” on the House floor.

In another stupid Democrat trick, the San Francisco septuagenarian defended illegal in an epic display of why her party is out of touch with mainstream America. Pelosi has never seen fit to speak for even a fraction of the time defending actual American citizens and her stunt will do little for the “Dreamers” although it’s a slam dunk that it will end up in GOP campaign ads this fall.

And she did it in heels too!

Pelosi has been one of the loudest voices advocating for the restoration of Obama’s DACA program that many argue puts natural born citizens at a disadvantage in the job market by granting work permits to people who are not here legally.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi talks about ‘Dreamers’ in record-breaking, eight-hour speech: https://t.co/4aNUHrotJg‘

According to the Associated Press “Pelosi stages 8-hour speech to push for vote for ‘dreamers’”:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi staged a record-breaking, eight-hour speech Wednesday in an attempt to force a House vote on protections for the “Dreamer” immigrants — and to prove to an increasingly angry wing of progressives and activists that she has done all she could.

Wearing four-inch heels and forgoing any breaks, Pelosi spent much of the rare talkathon reading personal letters from the young immigrants whose temporary protection from deportation is set to expire next month. The California Democrat quoted from the Bible and Pope Francis, as Democrats took turns sitting behind her in support. The Office of the House Historian said it was the longest continuous speech in the chamber on record.

“You see, these people are being deported,” Pelosi said around hour six of her speech. “We can do something today to at least make whole the children.”

The performance had no immediate impact on Republican leaders who have not agreed to a vote. But it was perhaps equally aimed at the liberal wing of Pelosi’s own party, who seethed Wednesday as Democrats in the Senate cut a budget deal that could quickly steal the momentum behind the effort to resolve the Dreamers’ plight.

While she spoke on the House floor, immigration activists rallied in Washington and threaten political retribution against the congressional Democrats who abandoned the strategy of demanding that a budget deal be paired with an immigration deal. The fresh threats exposed deepening divisions within a Democratic Party struggling to address a liberal priority in Republican-controlled Washington.

Pelosi had little original to say but rather delivered stories of illegal aliens that were chosen to bring a tear to the eye of even the most cynical, but it is not likely to accomplish anything of substance.

This was strictly Pelosi covering her own lousy ass with a very vocal segment of the party base and one that her home state of California places a high priority on for the low-cost labor provided by the illegals.

There are already rumbles that Pelosi may face an internal revolt from younger Democrats if that “blue wave” that she has been promising fails to materialize in November.

By engaging in such an obvious stunt as on Wednesday, Pelosi once again went on record that her party is more concerned with illegal aliens than American citizens.

That may sell well in California, but it could be a deal killer just about everywhere else.
