Link to tweet
Recently I wrote an article saying @SpeakerPelosi is not a progressive. She has now proved my point spectacularly. When @justinamash is to the left of you, you might not be a progressive!
If anyone is still paying attention to him after his shenanigans in 2016, it is now well past time to toss him to the wind and ignore him completely due to nonsense like this.
