Embarrassing news broke on Capitol Hill Thursday that House Minority Leader, and former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi was being challenged for leadership. NBC Nightly News was the only network evening news program to report the development, with Andrea Mitchell stating, “And in another sign of democratic disarray after their losses, longtime House Leader Nancy Pelosi is now being challenged for the first time by an Ohio congressman, Tim Ryan, from the kind of rustbelt district Donald Trump won overwhelmingly.”
But there is far more to the story than the Hillary Clinton super fan let on. According to Fox News Chief Congressional Correspondent Mike Emanuel on Special Report, “Congressman Tim Ryan, is challenging Nancy Pelosi saying Democrats will never be the majority party if they only win New York and California.”
A letter Ryan released to the public explains the desperate situation House Democrats find themselves, Emanuel reading from it:
Under our current leadership, Democrats have been reduced to our smallest congressional minority since 1929. This should indicate to all of us that keeping our leadership team completely unchanged will simply lead to more disappointment in future elections.
Ryan’s challenge comes the day after Pelosi fired a warning shot at potential challengers, claiming she had the support of two thirds of the caucus. “Leadership elections were supposed to be held today,” reported Emanuel, “They were bumped back. Now, Congressman Ryan has about two weeks to make his case to be the next Democratic leader.”
In stark contrast to their competitor, the superficial ABC decided to dedicate 20 whole seconds on World News Tonight to singer Adele being freaked out by a flying bat during her performance in Mexico City, Mexico. While on CBS Evening News, they reported on the country’s largest buffalo roundup and auction for over two minutes. A clear demonstration of how twisted their priorities are and who they’re looking out for.
