Impeachment will stand as a key part of Pelosi's legacy — along with becoming the country’s first female speaker of the House and shepherding the Affordable Care Act into law.

When Nancy Pelosi first held the speaker’s gavel in 2007, liberals in her caucus wanted to impeach President Bush over the Iraq war. Pelosi resisted.

, Ukraine, in domestic U.S. politics, asking the Ukrainian president to investigate Trump’s Democratic rivals, “is so overwhelming that for us to not do this would be a dereliction of our own duties.”is now on the eve of completion. Lawmakers are scheduled to open debate Wednesday on an impeachment resolution that is all but certain to pass on a near-party-line vote.

Republicans, who have defended the president, say the impeachment effort will put the Democratic majority at risk.The impeachment vote “will be a stain on Nancy Pelosi’s legacy as speaker,” said Rep. Steve Scalise , denouncing what he called “a personal vendetta against the president.”“All this is coming out now because, as Nancy says, ‘the times have found us,’” said former California Sen. Barbara Boxer, a friend of Pelosi’s. “The times have found her.

Members on the party’s left “were rambunctious; they assumed the caucus would get in their way. So they spoke out,” said former Rep. George Miller, a longtime ally of Pelosi’s.

This realDonaldTrump impeachment orchestrated by SpeakerPelosi will be known as NancysFolly Resulting in the Trump2020Landslide

Pelosi’s legacy, along with her family’s reputation, will be forever stained by her jealousy and hatred of President Trump and his 65 million voters; a fatal flaw that led to her promoting the weakest and thinnest case for impeachment in the history of the United States.

Three strikes is supposed to mean “Yer out!”

The most corrupt Democrats of all time ever!

And always having food stuck in her teeth!

She’s getting an A+

You spelled worst speaker wrong... 😂😂😂

Legacy? what legacy? A do nothing legacy.

That is a lot, certainly historic, for anyone's resume.

But she just helped guy the affordable health act what’s up with that.

Also her daughter is smart and hot.

Both epic failures 😂🇺🇸

So basically it's time for her to retire.

And it won’t happen. Boring

Pelosi is a horrible leader , no morals , look at the conditions in her own district , people pooping on the streets , and the LA Leftist Times applauds her , She offers this country a gloomy future

So the first female speaker failed this atrociously? Not a good moment for feminism

As the Scotus strikes it down... Nice legacy

Let's see, Obama care was a failure, impeachment is turning out to be a failure,so she's another failed California ruling class politician who somehow got extremely rich on a government job. Go figure? KAG!

That's it?

And the first Speaker of the House in history to lose the Majority twice.

Are you full of schiff or what?

kinsellawarren Impeachment Hoax will be her demise as was Affordable Health Care act. Arrogance, elitism. 2020 Democrats lose house after winning two years earlier.

Nancy Pelosi has been horrible for America. She gives women a bad name and should do the country a favor and resign. I’d like to know when holding a political office became a Senior Citizens activity. Too many 75+ brain dead politicians treating America as a hobby!

She’s passed her prime. But libs can worship. But answer this: Name a tangible thing she’s done to help you & your family’s pocketbook.

horrendous legacy.

Impeachment will also be a stain on Pelosi’s legacy. A partisan, unfair hoax that began 2 1/2 years earlier based on falsehoods. History will not be kind to Pelosi and the dems. Things are beginning to unfold for the dems. Failed Mueller report/testimony, IG report/testimony etc

1k seats lost will also be in there.

and her addiction problem too.

impeachin' bush woulda' been a better legacy... but then again showin' she's complicit in the torture program would have been a knock back...

This President has a history of denigrating most women , but not Nancy Pelosi, even though he tries. But because of how the impeachment was executed, he’ll look back and acknowledge that one should not underestimate the power of women. She makes us all proud to be called WOMEN!

It’s truly amazing how hard the press will work to attempt to make Nancy Pelosi not look like the complete screwball she is.

She’s a douche-bag.

failed impeachment you should say

Yes.. nervous Botox pelosi legacy will be remembered

👍👍

Yeah, whatever. She said impeachment was off the table for that lying war criminal George Bush. And, he definitely deserved to be impeached. But, we know she was protecting her fellow degenerate Establishment member. Proof that she lies when she says no one is above the law.

Yeah it’s not going to be good.... she’s acting like the jilted wife. Lol.

Her legacy is standing by while evil thrives.

Could the press fawn over her anymore......

Pelosi's hand picked impeachment managers.

All devisive issues

And both of them will leave a bad legacy. This tweet will age well, given time.

First one not to send the articles of impeachment to the senate.

That’s a whole lot of bad stuff to go out on. I used to like her.

Yada yada yada

Hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha

She slurs her words when she speaks! Biden is stuttering all the time! Schiff is proven lier!

SpeakerPelosi will go down in history as the Speaker who is totally out of control and will be recognized as The Speaker who hates Americans and cannot accept the results of a Presidential Election.

Oh really. .ha ha

I thought alcohol would stand as a key part of her legacy.

Impeachment is a flop. ACA is all but dismantled completely. So she is the first woman. Big deal. We could add she is the poster child for Boones Farm.

Let us not forget, Pelosi will be the first Speaker to serve two single terms come November 2020.

AKA...”We have to pass it so we can see what’s in it” and a complete waste of time and money on a go nowhere, partisan sham.

Time for this old bat SpeakerPelosi to waltz into her gilded age retirement.

Pelosi-the-Putz and her family, for many generations, will be stained with her many violations of the U.S. Constitution and breaches of her oath of office. Pelosi-the-Putz epitomizes the arrogance, corruption and self-serving character of the Deep State & D.C. Swamp Creatures.

Lol! Yes, a very bad legacy. 1) Failed to remove the President! 2) 'Shepherded' a total failure of a healthcare plan. 3) Helped destroy the Democrat party! ...Oh yes, give her props!

Hey, ! I heard that there was a crowd of almost 20K people in Venice yesterday. Any idea why? I mean, that seems kind of newsworthy, right? Let me know if you hear anything.

Makes it sounds like she’s on her way out the door

“Just pass ACA and we’ll read it later” 🙄😂

2 of the 3 aren’t things about which to be proud.

So corruption and failure.

She is in very bad shape indeed.

EXCEPT. President Trump is NOT impeached until sent to Senate for TRIAL. Nancy is a WORTHLESS POS. FACTS.

History is written by the victors. When Trump wins again in 2020 her name will go down in infamy for the first partisan coup on an American president.
