Nancy Pelosi angers libs after saying America 'needs a big, strong Republican Party'

Is this a joke?

Nancy Pelosi wants us to believe that American “needs a big, strong Republican Party”:

Speaker Pelosi: "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… Don't have it be a cult of personality on the extreme, extreme, extreme right." pic.twitter.com/dpfDI6xy9U

If this were anywhere close to being true, wouldn’t she encourage Illinois Dems to save Adam Kinzkinger’s seat?

If IL Dems' congressional map looks anything like their legislative maps, here's a guess of what to expect:

– 13D-5R (left) to 14D-3R (right) w/ Kinzinger axed
– #IL13 Davis (R) from Trump +3 to Biden +18
– #IL17 from Trump +2 to Biden +8
– all other Dem seats Biden +14 or more pic.twitter.com/NljkP3YmT6

And blue-check libs are not amused:

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

The good news is she will likely get her wish come 2024:

She’s going to get her wish: The GOP is about to gerrymander control of Congress and the state legislatures for at least the better part of the next decade… https://t.co/9u1jw40q6v
