Nancy Pelosi is the new HRC: A banner the gop can wave. It's open misogyny.

The gop is only hoping they can transfer the anti-Hillary vote into Nancy. This is ridiculous. We shouldn't remove her just because she's well known. If replaced by another woman, they'll just use the same language against her.

There will be a female backlash, with all the new women who have won seats up and down the spectrum. Ignore it.

If there is something specific that you can hold against her, fine, but I don't know what that would be. I think she's absolutely wonderful, can call 45 out on his lies, and can be a strong leader.

Of course they're coming for her: She's fierce.

Most negative ads I saw featuring Clinton last time around included images of Pelosi.

Ever notice how their "bogey-man" is usually a woman?

I remember this SNL video when she became speaker. I think it's hilarious, but it also speaks to the kinds of attacks she faced back in 2006.

They're the exact same attacks now.

(But seriously, it's very funny)
