House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is"reluctantly" urging Democrats to pass a bipartisan emergency spending bill Thursday afternoon to send humanitarian relief to the southern border, reversing course and abandoning a Democratic effort to amend a measure that won strong bipartisan support in the Senate on Wednesday.
Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no.Democrats don't walk away completely empty-handed. With 23 Democrats on-board, Pelosi's majority had evaporated, giving her little choice than to pull the amendment from the floor imposing changes to the Senate package.
Pelosi then spoke to Vice President Mike Pence for nearly an hour starting at 11:20 a.m. and briefed her leadership on the discussion Thursday afternoon, according to a senior Democratic leadership aide. “I don’t think there’s room for any threats here. We’re not threatening him,” Pelosi said. “This is a moral imperative. It’s not about threats or conditions or anything like that. It’s about what’s doing right for the children and not taking the path of least resistance.”
Ok...who's paying for this!
Yea.... the REALIZATION THAT HER HOUSE OF DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATVES IS THE PROBLEM must have gotten through.....
Reason- sure as hell not canceling her vacation. Only gets 200 days off per year
If you give us 5 billion of our hard earned tax dollars to build the WALL and keep them out, you wont have to worry about wasting 4.5 billion of our tax dollars on the detainees at the border, it's simple math.. How did you get hired for this job SpeakerPelosi ? You suck at it..
She's compromises Pelosi is
What crisis?
The best way to fix the crisis at the border, impeach the scumbag trump.
They left all their supplies in the Rio Grand. Blackmail is a beautiful thing. It thumbs it's nose at the LAWS of Justice.
Not good, Nancy
The Democrats, after many months of denying that an emergency exists, finally admit it when they think it's good for propaganda.
Don’t do it
He knows your weakness n he will do it again n again.
Did you read this America? She is RELUCTANTLY encouraging support for humanitarian relief at the border. Yet Trump is the bad guy. TheDemocrats are CLUELESS and MISGUIDED!
Anxious much to get out of town early for their scheduled vacation?
SpeakerPelosi AOC we are at the crossroads. It’s time to either stand your ground or reluctantly capitulate. It will show that Democrats basically use the undocumented as an emotional talking point for democrat votes
Oh, you pushing trump's con game emergency.his emergency is a wall. Not 7 dead people.
Utterly useless.
The choice was pass the Senate bill, which passed 84-8, or accept the blame for not getting any funding for the children at the border PERIOD. She made the hard choice to taking something over nothing so there would be a chance for those KIDS!
No More Ms. Pelosi. Accountability first and foremost, then send the check. The American people want transparency. We want our tax dollars to be well spent properly and the American people should know how that money is spent with this president or any other president.
How magnanimous Nancy I’m tired of tax money being used on ILLEGALS PASS laws send them home Abuse of our laws will change the US into a 3rd world lawless nation
What about the money we are already spending on PRIVATE companies to provide basic care and sanitation to these kids? Where did that go? Can we have some transportation and accountability on that, please?
GET IMMIGRATION bill that helps legal Americans and our interests PASSED!!!!! So Mitch McConnell is right -- GET SOMETHING DONE. We know your after illegal/demographic related votes!
The is exactly the kind of weak leadership we warned establishment Dems about when they insisted we needed Pelosi as leader. This isn't humanitarian relief. It is giving the Republicans everything they want. AOC is right.
It's really sad that the TheDemocrats are reluctant to send aid to the Southern border. They continue to play politics with immigration!
what about help for veterans, homeless people that are infesting city of Los Angeles. is this not a emergency? we need to start helping yourself in order to help others.
Reluctant to pass aid for the people she wants to welcome in. Wayfair people don't want to make beds for them to sleep in. B of A doesn't won't do business with companies that run the facilities. I am curious WTF they actually want.
No SpeakerPelosi
Oh, well, as long as it's 'reluctant'
No! I am sick of Democrats caving to these Racist Cruel Bastards. Why can't McConnell change his Bill? SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats
MORE: The decision was met with criticism from progressive Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said Pres. Trump 'is not to be trusted with protecting our immigrants.'
SpeakerPelosi Got owned by Mitch again.
What about our veterans our homeless people are American kids in foster care are those disabled we all have needs and dreams too !! Kicking the American people to the curb for vote sad..
Just gives Trump an open license to round up more children ....get a grip Nancy.
Forget a bill! Shut off congressional salaries and use that money to fund aide. Greedy rich slow moving congressional pieces of crap. None of you deserve raises ever after failing our country on so many levels.
Reluctant to send aid. All you need to know about the evil Democrats
Speaks volumes doesnt it. She'll only do something to help 'reluctantly'. Should have reluctantly done something months ago. Years ago really. You're blaming Trump but he's not the one that's been in office since 1976! You could have done something long before this.
In other words she is informing her democrat colleagues, she could care less about the children and the humanitarian problem at the border. She cares soooooo much about these children just like she does the homeless in her own state.
Take the gavel away from granny and put her to pasture. It’s time for real leadership.
At this rate we wouldn't be saving any lives. Look at the damage that has already been done to these immigrants. Sending any form of aid would voluntarily make our country look rather weak.
Dear SpeakerPelosi, The treatment of babies at the border is not about money. It is about racism and cruelty. If there is no oversight, nothing will change.
I can't stand this woman
oh wow so she is giving in i knew this would happen no matter what trump gets away with everything wow
We are NOT reluctantly urging Speaker Pelosi to initiate impeachment proceedings 🙄
I kinda think you lost them. They will decide.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE: IT’S NOT FOR HUMANITARIAN AID
She needs to Resign! Call her office (202) 225-4965
Child Abuse - Trump. JAIL
