House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has finally said something that makes sense — that the country needs a “big, strong Republican Party.”
The remarks, made at an event at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, have absolutely outraged some liberals.
“I say to my Republican friends, take back your party. The country needs a big, strong Republican Party. And I say that as a leader in the Democratic Party,” Pelosi said.
Though some of her comments made sense, there was also a significant amount of her signature incoherent babbling.
“Don’t have it be a cult of personality on the extreme, extreme, extreme right,” she added. “This isn’t about liberal or conservative, it’s about radical…uh…shall we say, they don’t believe in governance.”

Far left political commentators did not take kindly to her comment.
Pelosi says this every few months because she means it. She values “reasonable” Republicans as a way to tamp down lefties in her caucus. Without a GOP to work with, who would pump the brakes on meaningful progress that might cut into profits or wealthy pockets… including hers? https://t.co/yEa28VVzZ1
