Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made a decision on impeachment, and it won’t make the radical left happy. After months of delicately dancing around the topic, Pelosi told the Washington Post on Monday that she does not want to impeach the president. She said that it’s “not worth it” unless there’s “compelling” evidence.

Making it clear that her decision was news, Pelosi told the Post that “divisive” impeachment proceedings would come with a high price that she could only justify if “there’s something ….compelling.”

Pelosi: I won’t impeach
“I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before,” Pelosi told The Washington Post. “But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country.”

“And he’s just not worth it,” she continued.


While she admits that impeachment is unrealistic, Pelosi hasn’t changed her personal opinions about the president. She told the Post that she feels Trump is unfit for office.

“No. No. I don’t think he is [fit]. I mean ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit,” she said. “No, I don’t think he’s fit to be president of the United States.”

Pelosi risks angering far left
Pelosi’s announcement will surely disappoint the far-left and freshman Democrats who came to the Capitol in January vowing to “impeach the “mother***er,” but caution about impeachment has been her tack since she took up the speaker’s gavel. It’s just one of the differences between the Speaker and the progressive caucus that she has been struggling to manage lately.

Pelosi’s decision to condemn “all hate” in place of anti-Semitism last week, in response to comments from freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), left some saying that she had lost control of the party. Pelosi’s impeachment announcement shows the speaker asserting some control again, even as fissures continue to grow.

While some Democrats including Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) have filed articles of impeachment previously, the movement has failed to gain traction in Congress outside a vocal fringe. Impeachment drumbeats continue steadily in the media and in the progressive caucus, with Green and freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), promising to force articles of impeachment. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) also questioned Pelosi’s decision, while activist billionaire Tom Steyer, founder of Need to Impeach, expressed disappointment.

“Speaker Pelosi thinks `he’s just not worth it?’ Well, is defending our legal system `worth it?’ Is holding the president accountable for his crimes and cover-ups `worth it?’ Is doing what’s right `worth it?’ Or shall America just stop fighting for our principles and do what’s politically convenient,” Steyer said.


Hedging her bets
The dilemma for Democrats is whether to proceed with impeachment without bi-partisan support and risk alienating moderates, or anger the progressive caucus by holding back. While “impeach” is a popular left-wing slogan, the idea has been met with apprehension when considered more realistically by House Democrats. With a majority of voters opposing impeachment, party leadership has had to carefully weigh the path forward.

Speculation has brewed for months on whether Democrats would go too far as Robert Mueller’s investigation reportedly plods towards a conclusion with evidence of collusion proving elusive. Pelosi’s announcement comes as Democrats have begun to dial back expectations that Mueller’s investigation of collusion will bring them the impeachment bombshell they’ve been patiently expecting for two years.

Picking up the baton from Mueller, House Democrats, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), have launched a spate of investigations into Trump’s finances, Russia ties, and family that are widely seen as a prelude to impeachment.

Despite taking an aggressive path towards Trump, Nadler and House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) indicated they will follow Pelosi’s lead in setting a high bar, with Nadler claiming that impeachment is “far off” and Schiff saying Pelosi made the “absolutely right” decision. However, given Schiff’s promise to continue investigating Trump regardless of Mueller’s findings, and claims that there is “direct evidence” of collusion, some might question if these promises are in good faith.

Pelosi’s decision might disappoint the far-left, but it might be what’s best for her party.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is losing control of her party

The Democrat Party was set up to dominate after the 2018 election and run President Trump right out of the White House. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is quickly losing control of her party.

“[Pelosi’s] clearly losing — look, she is losing control of the House,” said Newt Gingrich, who held the Speaker position in the late 1990s.

“But she can’t get her party to stay together,” Gingrich continued. “And if you’re in a moderate district, if you’re in a district that Trump carried or if you’re in a district that’s heavily Jewish and you’re watching the Democrats go crazy and you are a Democratic freshman running for reelection, this has to be a really decisive moment. Who do you stay with?”

Pelosi is afraid of “alienating” the “radical freshmen,” said Jesse Watters Thursday on Fox’s “The Five.” “They believe they’re infallible [and] want to go on a full-throated offensive against this president and don’t want any blue dog Democrats crossing over to the other side.”

Embarrassing Headlines
Indeed, very little good has come from Pelosi allowing the newest and loudest representatives to define the party.

“It’s nothing short of incredible that three women from three different cities — New York, Detroit, and Minneapolis — can run roughshod over 233 other House Democrats with a little help from social media, woke 24-year-olds in the digital press, and the Congressional Black Caucus,” says the Washington Free Beacon’s Matthew Continetti.

Two of the more prominent newcomers hit the ground running and have not looked back. Both Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) have pretty much been given free rein from day one. And both have created more negative and embarrassing headlines for Pelosi than she could have ever envisioned.

Scandals and Controversies
Media darling Ocasio-Cortez has been a self-appointed lieutenant for Pelosi. Her first big piece of legislation, the Green New Deal, could not even get the united support of her own party.

Omar is a completely different story. In a day where any type of hate speech will cost you your job, Omar has repeatedly been called out for making anti-Semitic comments. Her repeated offenses threw the entire House into turmoil over the week and put Pelosi in an embarrassing position.

Unabashed, Omar made headlines again this week for attacking former President Barack Obama as “a pretty face” that “got away with murder.”

The uproar is frustrating for moderate Democrats, who want to focus on policy. “No matter how many Facebook posts we push out, if the story on the front cover of every paper and in the opening five minutes of every show is: ‘Is the Democratic Party becoming XYZ?’ — that is a higher hill I have to climb,” complained Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA).

Candidates are already getting fired up for the next election cycle, so Pelosi doesn’t have much time to get her party in line. Most Americans aren’t on board with the far-left yet — and if Democrats hope to challenge President Donald Trump, they need to get back to the center.

Is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi having a mental breakdown, or is she just flat-out lying and struggling to come up with words?

There is speculation about both after Pelosi was caught off-guard with a question specifically asking why she wants Trump to cancel his upcoming State of the Union address.

Nancy Pelosi gives heartless dismissal when asked about cop killed by illegal immigrant

Last week, a police officer in California was shot and killed by an undocumented immigrant.

But rather than acknowledge the growing problem of crimes by illegal immigrants, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed it merely as a “situation” — one that she believes cannot be eliminated with a border wall and stronger border security.

Comments face outrage
During her weekly press conference, Pelosi was specifically asked about the need for improved border security, including with a wall, in light to a tragedy that occured earlier this month in California.

A legal immigrant and police officer Ronil Singh was shot to death by an individual that should not have even been in the country.

Pelosi’s response? “It is a tragic situation, but what the president is proposing will not eliminate those possibilities.”

It took only seconds for the backlash to begin over her comments.
One of the first to speak against her was Fox contributor Tomi Lahren, and she absolutely nailed it.

This “situation” was preventable and never would have happened had that undocumented immigrant not been in the country, as Tomi says in this Fox clip:

Par for the course
But we should expect this from Pelosi by now.

She belittles horrific events like these to push her own agenda.

After the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, Pelosi took much the same approach, calling the attacks an “incident” rather than admitting the truth:

 Nancy Pelosi refers to the 9/11 terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans as just an "incident."

Pelosi then falsely stated the Trump admin separated families because they believe moms "who want to escape rape, murder and gang violence for their child" are "unfit."

What Did You Think of Pelosi’s Statement?
Way Out of Line
It Was Okay

Quite frankly, what Pelosi will say and do to protect her party is despicable.

She dismissed the life of an American hero to further her anti-Trump/anti-wall agenda. Shameful.
