House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is facing a growing revolt from within her own party in recent weeks, with more and more Democratic candidates saying they won’t vote for Pelosi as Speaker should they retake Congress this fall.
According to Fox News, Democrats across the country are weighing whether to support the California congresswoman ahead of the 2018 midterms; going so far as refusing to pledge support for Pelosi during Town Hall events and rallies.

“Perceived Pelosi ties could hurt the Democrats’ bid to hold the seat in the fall. In Pennsylvania, Democrat Conor Lamb surely made similar calculations earlier this year when he vowed not to support Pelosi for speaker – and went on to win a special election in a deep-red district that President Trump carried in 2016 by 20 percentage points,” writes Fox News.
“Nancy Pelosi is by far the most toxic politician in the country, and we continue to see her toxicity increase. CLF will spend millions of dollars reminding voters just how bad Nancy Pelosi is for the country,” added the Conservative Leadership PAC.

PELOSI PANIC ATTACK: Nancy GOES NUCLEAR Over FISA Memo
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi launched a full-fledged anti-GOP tirade on twitter this week, unleashing a bizarre tweetstorm where she repeatedly demanded Speaker Ryan “remove” Devin Nunes from office for the sake of “national security.”
The former Speaker of the House unloaded on GOP leadership and the White House over the impending release of Nunes’ controversial FISA memo Thursday night; reportedly outlining widespread abuse of the FISA courts throughout the FBI and Department of Justice.
“We have to be able to trust that the House Intel Chairman will put long-term national security before short-term politics. @DevinNunes has proven he can’t.#RemoveNunes, @SpeakerRyan,” she tweeted.
