Pelosi's 'Goodbye' Letter as Speaker - The Stuff of Delusion and Lies


Mike Miller reporting for RedState 

It’s a bit surrealistic, isn’t it? Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House no more. After finally surrendering her coveted gavel and stepping down from Democrat Party leadership, the TDS-riddled Speaker becomes just another member of Congress for at least one more term.

Uh-huh, we’ll see how that plays out.

Also gone will be Madam Speaker’s Thursday morning press conferences where the dazed and confused Pelosi waved her bony hands in disgust, and condescendingly dismissed questions from reporters she deemed beneath her or undeserving of answers. And gone will be Pelosi’s venomous denunciations of her archnemesis, the Devil himself, Donald Trump. This is not to say Trump will no longer live rent-free in Pelosi’s echoing head, 24/7, mind you, but she’ll no longer have a weekly platform from which to spew.

In her final letter as Speaker before the Republican majority is sworn in, Pelosi showered her Democrat colleagues with the kind of delusional praise and hyperbolic nonsense we’ve come to expect from the hyperpartisan Californian.

Dear Democratic Colleague,

Today, I write to you my last Dear Colleague as Speaker of the House to express my appreciation for the high honor bestowed upon me by House Democrats. I am humbled by the faith placed in me to serve as Speaker.

One final thought that I wanted to leave with you is my belief that the House Democratic Caucus is the greatest collection of intellect, integrity, and imagination assembled for the good of the American people.

There are a lot of descriptors I’d use for the likes of Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Hakeem Jeffries, Pramila Jayapal, Maxine Waters, et al., but “intellect, integrity, and imagination” aren’t among them. From Pelosi melodramatically tearing in half her copy of a Trump State of the Union speech, to two politically motivated impeachments of Trump and her silly January 6 Committee show trial, “integrity” is the last word I’d used to define the most divisive House Speaker in recent memory.

Pelosi then heaped glowing praise on hopelessly ineffectual Joe Biden, which was even more syrupy than her description of her Democrat colleagues.

During the 117th Congress, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have put forth a shining vision of justice for all. Together, we have worked tirelessly to infuse this value into our legislative efforts. We can all take immense pride in our achievements toward that goal, which is making a real difference in the lives of the American people.

In the 118th Congress, I am confident that the new House Democratic Leadership – led by Hakeem, Katherine, and Pete – will do even better, remaining always faithful to our shared mission to safeguard our treasured Democracy For The People.

Yup, “a shining vision of justice for all.” Really? How about justice for the January 6 defendants? How about justice for hardworking American taxpayers on whom Biden and the Democrat Party continue to pile billions and billions of dollars in additional debt? How about the never-ending wealth-redistribution scams like the $1.7 trillion mockery of an omnibus package? The list goes on.

Oh, and how about justice for the untold number of American citizens still trapped in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Ms. Pelosi, after your “visionary” president slithered out of the war-torn country in the dead of night?

Pelosi concluded her silly fairy tale with a reference to hubby Paul.

With gratitude for your kind wishes to Paul, we send you and your loved ones our warmest personal wishes for a Healthy, Happy New Year!

NANCY

Pelosi’s mention of “kind wishes to Paul” was in reference to a suspicious hammer attack against her husband, which remains shrouded in contradiction and lies. How fitting.
