Pelosi's message to Republicans: 'I'm out to get you' [View all]
Late one night in July 2022 when she was House speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) got word that House Republicans had pulled support for a bipartisan bill to reenergize America’s semiconductor industry.
Some liberal Democrats were also squeamish about providing corporate welfare, so some of her advisers suggested pulling the bill from the next day’s schedule.
“Let me do it my way,” Pelosi recalled, giving instructions to her staff. “Go tell the Republicans to go to hell. We’re going to go without them. We’re going to go without them.”
Not a single Democrat voted against the bill. Once it was clearly passing and heading to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature, a couple dozen Republicans voted for what would become a popular piece of legislation.
