WASHINGTON—Admitting she had worries about the rise of left-leaning activist groups within her party, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed concerns Thursday that outspoken progressives could do permanent damage to Democrats’ reputation as ineffectual cowards.
“They mean well, but if they continue to aggressively push their agenda like this, they run the risk of fundamentally altering the public’s perception of Democrats as bumbling, feckless chumps,” said Pelosi, adding that this brash brand of politics could be easily manipulated by Republicans to paint the party as something other than a bunch of sniveling wimps who are too weak-willed and complacent to stand up for anything with even remote political risk.

cartographies It’s the true-true
javiervegas How did a demented Nancy Pelosi find these so-called 'outspoken progressive members', I've been looking for them for years?
That cow does more to hurt the US,than any words in world history( yet).. keep it up and you're gonna find out!
KyleKulinski This would be spot on and hilarious if the Progressive flank of the party weren't also ineffectual cowards. How many of them voted against 40 Billion for the war again? I forget
I thought you guys were dead… I’m glad to be proven wrong.
Nancy,you remind me of my fifth grade teacher about to slap me in the back of my head. Poor ,lovely I mean old lady is gone now.
Truth from the Onion.
Awesome.
Onion could we please not fan the flames
Dude, this isn't even satire.
FabioA90963180 They know why they'll lose.
what progressive flank
That still want to work with republicans to get stuff done
The Onion never misses.
saintwalker98 Onion doesn't miss.
LauraJedeed Some days I wish the news actually wrote how the Onion satires stuff.
Yup. Her career started by punching left and has only continued from there.
One of the best from the onion in the recent time.
If you over 60 you gotta sit down some where
I thought you guys were satire ? You guys have been little too factual lately. 😂
RyanBizzarro ConorLambPA
Tyson_GB How are you considered a humor site when you speak more truth to power then MSNBC, CNN and FOX news combined? I guess we all got to laugh not to cry these days.
Area man cries after reading headline and realizing his mind is more in sync with a fake newspaper than any person he has ever known.
lesbiaudrey Will it hurt their reputation as lying backstabbers?
oh
I thought the onion was supposed to be satire 😭
ReutersPitchbot this is not satire
More real than mainstream media 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As if there was an outspoken progressive flank of the party.
Inside Trading
Pelosi is very brave when it comes to inside trading and helping Republicans.
Let your workers unionize
binnall lmao
kgosztola If only the deep state started going after the Members of the House And Senate, inc. SCOTUS, what could happen?
I'm sending this to her daughter anytime she says something idiotic again.
Maybe a strongly worded letter of apology will get that reputation back.
it’s funny because it’s truuuuue
ReutersPitchbot Egocrata Justo estaba leyendo en Four Freedoms sobre el último ciclo legislativo en cierto estado
Well..... they are
nah thats safe and sound
Whoa there onion, you are treading dangerously close to actual journalism instead of parody
Since news media have actively worked to insulate Pelosi by publishing disinformation while suppressing actual facts, we appreciate satirical outlets doing the job they abandoned. Don’t settle for outrage. Only voters can remove corrupt oligarchs from office. Vote on June 7!
I know this is satire but we gotta get these old folks outta our house! Lol
AlwaysSunny_S13 Wheres the satire?
Make satire distinguishable from reality again! Support ShahidForChange
She doesn’t think it’s because of how old every democrat leader is Retire and go enjoy your $100 million
Whatapityonyou You left out corrupt, but otherwise, spot on
plsleav3
Honestly, this hasn't aged well. Just look at how the progressives treated Nina Turner.
Here's a thought, if they're so afraid of being thought of as ineffectual cowards, then maybe they shouldn't be ineffectual cowards.
Going right for the jugular
jasonselvig My only friend Emily is due for a bone marrow transplant she is a sickle cell patient, we need to save her life because she deserves a good life. Pls share and donate if you can ❤️ saveemily
Yay!!! Improves onion hit ratio to 50 to 1 repub to dem 😀👍🏼.. Even though dems give em tons to work with…
Mrs. Nancy please take a moment and solve this issue of masks a lot of women are walking discontent because it is really a discomfort !!many votes of a beautiful day work
I don’t like this pivot of the onion telling the truth.
Progressives expect democrats to forcefully overtake the government and seem to lack comprehension that the government is designed to favor conservatism and only an actual revolution will change that
betsybblue A unified voice is what is needed. I understand that everyone is looking out for their own interests, but why won’t they understand that they have to pull together! They have to!
I understand that you do your best to do satire, but this is just what she truly thinks. (God I love you, but fuck I wish you wouldn't be so right 😭)
That really is the biggest crime of the democrats, that they've failed to even TRY to fight the republicans.
🔥
Whatapityonyou The only non satire new-site out there folks. It’s funny cause its true.
Good one!
🇺🇦 twitter gonna be mad at this one
frusen_gladje Life imitating Art imitating “Dave’s whole thing”
not sure if satire...
Fortunately, talking is all they do.
I doubt she has anything to worry about on that one
Your best work
Pelosi’s family needs to come get their mom
Savagery
Ya'll commenters know that it can be satire and true at the same time right? That's kinda suposed to be the point.
Dont worry, thats still intact.
am_anatiala Plainly stating the truth isn’t as funny as it used to be
ohJuliatweets This is so accurate it burns.😫
Photo_John 🤣🤣🤣
I'm more of a liberal than a Democrat.
☠️☠️☠️☠️
My favorite example at the moment is holding the house, senate and the presidency and talking almost exclusively about the importance of the midterms. Wouldn’t wanna pass any fucking laws now while you can…
thedarksidecat
KyleKulinski The real headline of today's news where she calls for a return to a 'strong Republican party' and reminisces about a pro-choice and pro-climate action Republican party that has never really existed is actually more ridiculous than this fake Onion headline.
KyleKulinski I hate it when they nail it. This is depressingly true.
'Ineffectual Cowards' Definitely NOT! DemocratsDeliver VoteBlueToProtectWomen VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy VoteBlueIn2022 🌊🌊🌊💙💙💙
She loves ice-cream, and so do I. Think about it. Do you want vanilla or chocolate?
bentlegen
Yes, you guys really need to grow a pair. I have a feeling it's about to get crazy.
JuliusGoat Let’s spend more democratic dollars fighting progressives than the GOP agian shall we? But done complain!
KevinMKruse I think that should be in the WaPo.
KyleKulinski No no... this is accurate! Try again.
I thought you were fake news?
DavMicRot Time for her to fucking GO
This is what I call “satirious” and only a few people can get away doing it right. Trevor Noah does it right. The Onion gets it right most of the time. I rarely if ever get it right
Unfortunately, she needn’t worry. 😕
A reputation assigned to them BY the progressive flank.
These “winners? 🙄
Mobute July 19 lol
I do think anything can change that reputation or perception lmfao
KyleKulinski I would feel so much better….and have hope because there is a reason….if someone told me that aliens from space landed on earth, and found a way to extract common sense from human minds. 😩
As honest as it gets, be careful against the attacks of the centrist zombie horde.
On the nose in today's politics.
Complaint crypto and Alibaba company embezzled my 10 months daily Earnings I was deceived by crypto and Alibaba hedgeye did not give me any money I want help me
KyleKulinski It's Not only the Progressive part of the Party, most blame falls on you an your failure as a party leader. (pot calling kettle black an all)
Lmao this is 3 years old and it still holds true smh
Alebrijes16 I thought the Onion was a satirical publication?
Onion out for blood today jfc
Sometimes y'all are a little too perfect in your postings LOL
Ouch!!
To help sway the public's opinion, Pelosi handed out doormats with donkeys on them.
KyleKulinski The Onion is actually just real stories now. So wild.
Definitely real news and not satire. The Onion is just the news.
Please stop with this trash. It’s so dumb and unfunny.
Not satire.
