Pelosi is just another unhinged senile Democrat....
Facts suck, eh Nance?
The typical decorum was nowhere to be found on a feisty House floor
Friday night, as Republican lawmakers moved to pass a border-
security bill and legislation that would end President Barack
Obama's deportation relief program.
The testiness was on display all night, and it reached up to the
highest levels of leadership when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
charged across the House floor to confront a Republican congressman.
During the debate over the bill to effectively end the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Pelosi took exception
to a floor speech from Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pennsylvania).
Marino spoke right after Pelosi on the floor. He addressed her
directly, accusing Democrats of making the crisis along the U.S.-
Mexico border a political issue while not doing anything to address
the problem when they controlled the House from 2007-10.
"You know something that I find quite interesting about the other
side?" Marino said. "Under the leadership of the former Speaker
[Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep.
Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland)] — when in 2009 and 2010, they had the
House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem
existed.
"They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are
trying to make a political issue out of it now."
Soon after he made those remarks, Pelosi challenged him off-mic. It
wasn't clear what she said, but Marino responded.
"Yes, it is true. I did the research on it," Marino added. "You
might want to try it. You might want to try it, Madam Leader. Do the
research on it. Do the research. I did it. That's one thing you
don't do."
"What have Republicans done?" George said.
George said Pelosi accepted an apology from Marino — who
subsequently said he did not offer an apology.
In a statement sent to Business Insider through a spokesman, Marino
said Pelosi called him an "insignificant person." He accused Pelosi
of being "out of control."
"Last night, while recognized to speak during debate, I was
confronted and interrupted by Ms. Pelosi. We exchanged words and she
continued to pursue me; wagging her finger in my face and calling me
an 'insignificant person,'" Marino said.
"Other members and I helped to calm nerves but I did not apologize
and I have no intention to do so. She was out of line and out of
control. If she considers another elected member of Congress
insignificant, I can only imagine what she thinks of the millions of
hard working Americans who send us to Washington with the simple
expectation that we work to secure our borders."
