Seems like Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working on her Ruth Bader Ginsburg badge. Not that she’s running for a SCOTUS seat, but that she apparently intends to remain in office until she dies.
And who’s going to stop her? Democrats are terrified of the hellish bureaucrat. Just look how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who hates Pelosi, responded to Pelosi’s recent run for reelection. AOC was asked if it was ‘healthy’ for Dems if Pelosi stays in office:
In a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, the “Squad” member was asked whether it is “healthy” or not for the Democratic Party that Pelosi remains Speaker and continues to lead Democrats in the House of Representatives.
“It’s really all about a specific moment that we’re in,” Ocasio-Cortez responded. “We are in such a delicate moment of the day-to-day, particularly with the threats to our democracy. I believe that, at the end of the day, there’s going to be a generational change in our leadership. That is just a simple fact. Now, when that particular moment happens? I think it’s a larger question of conditions and circumstance.”
“You don’t want to go near this one,” New Yorker’s David Remnick said.
“It’s a tough question,” the former presidential candidate Democrat Marianne Williamson said. “It’s not even just a question of the Speaker. It’s a question of our caucus. I wish the Democratic Party had more stones. I wish our party was capable of truly supporting bold leadership that can address root causes.”
During an interview on the progressive outlet Status Coup News, Williamson slammed the “bulls—” response.
“There are many times when I really appreciate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but this is not one of them,” Williamson told Status Coup co-founder Jordan Chariton on Tuesday. “That was such bulls—. That was such to doublespeak.”
“‘At the end of the day.’ When is that ‘end of the day’ going to be? When these people turn 95? Is that when the end of the day is going to be, that we’re just going to wait?” Williamson asked. “I mean, these people who are 80, 85, 90 holding on to this kind of power, not allowing the leadership to come up. So then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says ‘well, it will happen at the end of the day.’ How much time do these people think they have?”

Pelosi will soon be 82-years-old. Where I could easily argue that a person’s age does not necessarily mean their capacity to lead has diminished it’s become all too clear that Pelosi’s not up to the task.
