During her tenure as the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi proved she can be focussed and tougher than anyone in the room when it counts, tnyCloseRead writes.
, to keep a reconvened House from wandering off course, she can be focussed and tougher than anyone in the room when it counts, marking the place where the nonsense stops. This stream knows where it needs to flow.
Pelosi is also known for another sort of counting: she is very adept at raising money. Although Pelosi is leaving the leadership, she will stay in the House, representing San Francisco, and, presumably, continue to fund-raise. One of her aides admiringly calculatedthat she might have raised a lifetime total of about $1.3 billion in political contributions. Perhaps that’s an accomplishment.
Pelosi was first elected to office when she was in her late forties, and her five children are no longer young. On January 6, 2021, the mob in the Capitol went looking for “Nancy,” and it was impossible to miss—in their chants, in Donald Trump’s attacks on her, and in the innumerable negative political ads featuring pictures of her with her features distorted—a certain bitter misogyny. Obama may love her, but there is something telling about how eagerly she is hated.
The most recent, and shocking, expression of the place that she holds in the conspiratorial imagination is, of course, the, Paul Pelosi, by a man who said that he was looking for “Nancy.” In her speech, Pelosi called Paul her “beloved partner,” and expressed gratitude for people’s prayers for his recovery, which continues. In a meeting with reporters on Thursday, she said that the attack had not been a reason for her to step down. “If anything, it made me think again about staying,” Pelosi said.
