House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has ended an eight-hour filibuster-esque speech aimed at forcing a vote in the House of Representatives on protections for illegal immigrants who Democrats have branded as “Dreamers.”
The leftist California Democrat took to the House floor at about 10:04 a.m. Eastern standard time on Wednesday and only yielded at 6:11 p.m. Caucus leaders such as Pelosi are allowed to speak without limits under House rules.
Wearing 4-inch heels and forgoing any breaks, Pelosi read personal letters from the the illegal migrants whose temporary protection from deportation is set to expire next month.
The performance had no immediate or discernible impact on Republican leaders, who have not agreed to a vote.
Pelosi says she hopes the House follows the Senate’s example and takes up an amnesty bill. She says it should be “bipartisan, transparent and unifying.”
Wonder what drugs she took prior to her 8hr running mouth marathon?
Drug test Congress
I hope to see some highlights perhaps on SNL? Would be at least something to laugh at.
Didn’t POTUS recently put forth a plan that offered a path to citizenship for the exact people she was talking about?
WOW how long are we going to read about this crap it’s been days no get over it
