Speaker Pelosi appears to issue warning to Democrats for attacking colleagues publicly rather than raising concerns privately during the recent fight over legislation addressing the border crisis.
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Wednesday appeared to issue a warning to Democrats during a closed-door caucus meeting for attacking their colleagues publicly rather than raising concerns privately during the recent fight over legislation addressing the border crisis.
Pelosi said that Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would have been “very happy” if the House had passed nothing. After Pelosi agreed to hold a vote on the Senate-passed border measure, Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., blasted his more moderate Democratic colleagues on the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus for pushing the legislation instead of siding with progressives who sought to challenge it.
"They certainly seem hell-bent to do black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s," Saikat Chakrabarti wrote on Twitter. He later deleted the tweet. “This is a team. On a team, you play as a team,” she said. If you want to be not on the team, that is okay because that is part of the team spirit — you just want to not play in that round.
