Simply put, she's my hero. I don't see her tearing up the speech as rude or classless, but rather what you do when you are presented with a "manifesto of mistruths". Here are three quotes from the Speaker of the House.
- You have to believe in who you are and what difference you can make. You have to care about the urgency and the difference it will make to your community, and you have to, again, have confidence in the contribution that you can make. You believe, you care, you have confidence in the difference that you can make. And that's not to be egotistical, it's just to be confident.
- Go to find common ground; where you can't, you stand your ground.
- Just as I do as a mother, as Speaker I intend to do a great deal of listening. But when necessary, I am not afraid to use my mother-of-five voice to ensure that I am heard.
Carry on, Ms. Pelosi and be heard. You are fighting the good fight.
Awesome list, Bonny! Have you seen this? https://sophieandlili.bigcartel.com/product/nancy-pelosi-sotu2020-mug-print-sold-seperately
ReplyDeleteThe R's who are bad-mouthing her are such hypocrites. Ripping up a piece of paper doesn't harm anyone. The kinds of things they have done, on the other hand, have done very real damage.
ReplyDeleteShe's fabulous!! Love that list of quotes.
ReplyDeleteI will quote the brilliant Hakeem Jeffries, because this is exactly how I feel about Speaker Pelosi: I am DOWN with the NDP! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XhmDzNPcCA)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Love Mary's link to the mug:)
ReplyDeleteSophie and Lili are spot-on on so many things! As is Nancy. :-)
ReplyDeleteBrava, Madame Speaker! (And that mug . . . )
ReplyDeleteSpeaker Pelosi is my hero! I thought tearing dtrump speech was extremely polite, having to sit through the medal crap for rush, not too mention all the lies dtrump told, (she must of been running her beads to keep from choking that jerk).
ReplyDeleteHer statement without having to make a statement is the best. And that mug!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Bonny and Bravo to Ms. Pelosi. She too is my hero. Thank you for posting her quotes.
ReplyDeleteBravo! Bravo! Nancy! Bonny! All of us. We SHALL overcome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Bonny. I admire Nancy Pelosi's restraint. Like the Obamas, she seems to try and take the high road. I am not sure I would be that self-contained!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julia!
DeleteI love her
