    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it “by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States.”

      Jerry Nadler called it the same and went further because he rightfully said, " he wishes the war the continue because if it does not, he will lose power and be voted out. He cares nothing for those hostages and cares only about staying in power."

      He went on to call it a shameful display and call it a worthless speech.

      Hell yes, finally, someone on either side says the truth! How refreshing. It’s great to have specific examples of a powerful dem that is willing to not bend over for genocide.

          She’s finally reading the room lately, though always a tiny bit late. First finally publicly talking about Biden stepping down. Then finally speaking out against Netanyahu. As a lead member in the party, she should be leading these causes, not just jumping on board once she realizes what is happening. She needs to go.

            The king doesn’t ride in the vanguard. Being a leader doesn’t mean being way out on the fringe of your group.

            When Pelosi moves, everyone moves. She farted 1.5 times and got Biden to step down and the entire party to back Harris. She knows how to move her party as one. She knows when she has the votes for something. She’s old and should retire but it’s a shame because she’s the most skilled politician I think many of us have ever seen, and the fact that few notice it only underscores the point.

            No one in this thread has shit to teach Nancy Pelosi about reading the room.
