It doens't matter. He wanted her to say no to the invite, so he could say "working class democrat is scared of working class whites, eh, go back to your ivory tower".

She didn't, and the Sanders town hall scared him into realizing that a group of historically pro-labor people getting talked to by a leftist may not work out in his favor, so he's added something new that he think's she'll decline.

The point is the decline, how he gets there is unimportant.

This is being big and tough to them. The louder the crying, the bigger and the tougher. It should be clear that these guys are among the wimpiest people in the world, their whole existence is based around finding someone who looks somewhat like them so they can idolize and follow him.

One day, long long ago, I got to open up the newspaper and read how the leader of our country inserted cigars into his interns hoo ha. The whole report just printed in every major newspaper. They even sold it as a bound book in stores. Not one redaction.

Don't know why I keep thinking about that lately.
Same. But someone invariably goes "Uh yes well Starr was an Independant Council while Mueller is a Special Council..." and then the tears cause me to black out.

Yes, people do like having access to healthcare, a lot. In fact, if you tell people that you will work to increase their access to healthcare, they may be motivated to vote for you.

But if you tell people that you will work on "kitchen table issues" they will actually just not know what you're talking about. Why be vague when you could just not be vague?

The list of things that constitute kitchen table issues don't fit in a headline. That's not Pelosi's fault.

Congressman Barr was insulted that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez asked Congressman Crenshaw what he was doing to fight terror in the United States. His perspective is that his service as a Navy Seal should be credentials enough, her perspective is that he's doing a horrible job following through on protecting his supposed ideals as a member of Congress, in favor of hammering Congresswoman Omar for her faith whilst, among other things, refusing to co-sponsor an act which would provide support for individuals impacted by the September 11th attacks. Congressman Barr appears to believe that remaking upon Congressman Crenshaw's reticence to act proactively is tantamount to insulting him as a member of the armed forces who was injured in the line of duty, which seems more like he's trying to stifle any sort of criticism via the deification of service in the armed forces rather than engage with the salient points Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is making about Congressman Crenshaw's contemporary actions.

To make a long story short, it is incredibly stupid and proof that Congressman Barr is just trying to weasel out of actually standing by his words like a complete coward. He's not my representative, but I'm still ashamed of him.

Not to mention why expect him to either: a) actually answer any tough questions or b) answer truthfully to any questions at all, anyway? Even if you did have the report in front of you, he would dissemble/deny/distort anyway.

Look, it's a video with no easily available transcript, and I can't access pastebin from work to dump the super-long .srt subtitle file from the page, so I can't give direct quotes right now. But she does not get specific about the kitchen table issues, at all, in the least, in the video. She says that people are worried about kitchen table issues, like paying the bills, a broken car, a water heater, etc. The most specific she gets about health care is "There's a lot of things, like health care." e: actually that quote wasn't even from Pelosi herself.

Of course, she goes on to say "Whatever orientation you are when you come into congress, you have to govern mainstream," which is a quote I've definitely, definitely seen before. Makes me a little confused - why are we reposting the same interviews of Nancy Pelosi repeatedly?

e: ah, they replayed a clip of it. I need to stop hating video-only news so much that I don't even skim the video at all.

e: oh I'm dumb here's a link to the .srt file: https://nbcnewsdigital-static.nbcuni.com/media/captions/MSNBC/796/619/1555502851088_n_mj_pelosi_190417.srt
