Because it’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we can expect to hear even more from Democrats about how Republicans (and Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin) are trying to undo his legacy by stripping Americans of their voting rights.
That’s not true, of course. In fact, such claims are an insult to Dr. King’s memory. But Dems have their narrative, and they’re sticking to it no matter what.
Even if it means making complete asses of themselves. Over to you, Nancy Pelosi:

Lots to talk about here.
First of all:
The optics here about suppressing the vote while two women of color stand muzzled behind Nancy is a study in lack of self awareness. https://t.co/Z8vdhMJhFd

It’s a study in Nancy Pelosi. Just *chef’s kiss*.
Second of all:
The slave owners? https://t.co/bbE9JQ3FOd

You mean those “slave owners”, Nancy? https://t.co/XpWwIujYzk

Are George Washington and Thomas Jefferson good again? It’s so hard to keep up, you know.
we're cool with Washington and Jefferson now? https://t.co/Zuc4dHqNL5

I thought Washington and Jefferson were cancelled?

I thought the Lefties ripped their statues down because they had slaves. https://t.co/xVZAxJNRda

Hold up I thought we were tearing down George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues in the name of wokeness now lol.
Democrats are a hot mess https://t.co/PyORJSZl9H

A hot mess indeed.
And that brings us to the most important takeaway from Nancy’s little performance: she’s just plain awful. Being this far past her congressional expiration date has turned her rancid.
She’s just so damn shameless.
Yeah, @SpeakerPelosi, a radical tyranny of the majority is precisely what led the founders to establish a Republic with a limited federal government, divided powers, checks & balances, & a Senate cooling saucer… https://t.co/sbIgnI6P2F

The Founding Fathers assigned control over elections to the States because they knew that a corrupt political party would come along some day and try to do exactly this. https://t.co/1lSNgHzuUT

I'm sure Washington and Jefferson have tears in their eyes, but not for the reason Pelosi wants everybody to believe. https://t.co/PCoORhw6mk

CZ Washington and Jefferson, and most of the Founders, made their thoughts on nationalized elections very well known. They were uniformly *against* them.
Those tears, Mdm Speaker, are wept at what your ilk have done to the country they worked so hard to set up. https://t.co/nvPJ867Fwq
