"Amnesty Don." So, Just Who Wants to Get Rid of Nancy Pelosi?



'Amnesty Don' goes viral after Breitbart slams reported Trump deal with Democrats

The hashtag "AmnestyDon" was a top trending topic on Twitter in Washington, D.C., Wednesday following reports of President Trump's agreement to work with Democratic leaders to give amnesty to nearly 800,000 immigrants who came to the country illegally as children.

"Amnesty Don" is the headline of a Breitbart News story slamming the president for working with Democrats on the deal.

"In a meeting with establishment politicians from the Problem Solvers Caucus and the Blue Dog Coalition, President Trump signaled a full-fledged cave on the issue of giving amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegal aliens currently protected by an Obama-created executive immigration program," said the top paragraph of the Breitbart report Wednesday night.

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon left the White House in August to return as Executive Chairman of Breitbart News, which staunchly backed Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Checked out FreeRepublic. The Soup d'jour is tears of bitterness.

Nancy Pelosi did this. Just who wants that tiger gone from the Congress? Surely no one here!

1. Hmmm, maybe Russian trolls started the "Get rid of Nancy" movement?

Those trolls seem to be everywhere on social media and on the internet.

Perhaps a few reside here on DU?

4. I would hope no poster here would be silly enough to fall for bot-news.

I'll have to read carefully the next anti-Pelosi thread.

5. I don't think it is always "bot-news." The trolls are actual users who blend in

but pepper their posts with anti-Democratic rhetoric that can pass for "concern" or "outrage" or "supporting a more liberal agenda."

7. Yabbut, Pelosi's too old and she's a woman, besides.

Gotta replace her! Or, so say some people on a regular basis.

There have been multiple posts lately that are saying that Pelosi and Feinstein should be primaried. Clearly, they are not from people who live in California. It's not their decision. I often ask such people who their Senators and representatives are. Generally, there is no response.

10. A circus tent, sometimes. I am always wary of people who want Democrats primaried.

Especially hardworking women Democrats. Some people seem to have a problem with that type of politician.

11. Some people, apparently, want us to lose.

That seems obvious to me. We should stop listening to those people and get on with our goal to regain control of federal government. Everything else is a freaking waste of time.

After all she invites attacks.

As one DU member just called Hillary. (Yes post was left alone!). "She's a ball buster". Sexism and misogyny exist on the left
