CNN may have finally found its niche for public service by airing their town halls with different members of Congress. The latest to face the gauntlet known as the American public was Nancy Pelosi, who found out firsthand how strong a mother’s grief can be.
Red Alert Politics had reported that the Congresswoman may have seen the light when she defended America’s capitalist roots to a young socialist, but after a woman from Texas threw reality in her face, Pelosi was left speechless. From the Washington Examiner:
“I am not a one-story mother. This happens every day because there are no laws enforcing the border,” Laura said. “How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law?”
“The second part of my question is this: if you need to go home tonight and line up your babies as you say, and your grandbabies, which one of them could you look in their eyes today, and tell them that they’re expendable for another foreign person to have a nicer life? Which one would you look to say, you, my child, are expendable for someone else to come over here and not follow the law.”
Although Pelosi tried to quell the situation by sympathizing with the mother, she continued to defend her city of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies (in the midst of a lawsuit the city has filed over President Trump’s immigration executive order), not only to Laura, but to Dr. Mike Vickers, who lives in Brooks County, Texas, not far from the border. Dr. Vickers had reported that living near one of the most active border checkpoints has exposed him to the results of unspeakable crimes, including finding a severed woman’s head with brain matter still in the skull in his yard, with the body not far away. As reported by the Washington Post in 2014, Brooks is the Lone Star State’s poorest county, with sheriff’s deputies as the lone line of defense against immigration-related crimes.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco had police report that their crime rate in 2015 had flatlined for violent crimes, and gone down with gun-related crimes, but Part 1 crimes (murder and non-negligent homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny-theft, and arson) had increased as a result of property crimes.
Nonna Nancy may enjoy her evening espresso in North Beach when she returns home, but Congresswoman Pelosi needs many more eye-opening experiences like this town hall if she ever hopes to redeem herself in her career of public service.
