1. "The most powerful woman in Congress" being the operative phrase here.

Magats can't have that.

2. Every Publican running for State or Federal office in Michigan

claims to be running against Nancy.

I love Nancy and gets me out to vote.

3. I saw ads against her in Philadelphia like she is the boogeyman we should be afraid of

They darkened her and set the commercial to ominous music. Do you want Nancy Pelosi in charge? Conveniently not mentioning all the legislation passed under her leadership that helps working people and not corporations.

4. Iowa too.

It's nation-wide.

I see trolls on social media use her name all the time.

5. The same misogynist playbook they used on Hillary Clinton. They are also

vilifying AOC because they can see she’s a rising talent.

6. They went after Hillary for decades too.

7. And as I was watching the OSU vs PSU game today and JD Vance was running an anti Pelosi spot.

"Biden and Pelosi's liberal agenda"

9. Republicans have targeted and fomented violence against Madam Speaker for years

Republicans have a long history of standing against women’s rights but, more recently, have become a true women-haters party.

10. Yes,

those losers couldn't and can't stand a woman in that position, smarter and more powerful than they are collectively. She even shrank Trump's dick. Although in reality it's pretty tiny to begin with.

[calimary]

11. This.

I’ve always suspected what motivates the donald is a whole lot of over-compensation.

Of course he’d feel driven to planting his flag with tall towers.
