Can anyone point out any substantive criticism of Pelosi?

Rep. Marcia Fudge Calls Out Nancy Pelosi: There Is an ‘Undertone of Racism...in Our Caucus’

Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge joined the ever-rising chorus of people calling for California Rep. Nancy Pelosi to step down as speaker of the House, saying it’s time for new leadership for the Democratic Party.

In an interview with HuffPost, Fudge called out what she considered Pelosi’s dismal support of black candidates, saying the Congressional Black Caucus—which she used to chair—hasn’t been “feeling the love” from the former House speaker.

“I don’t have a pitch because at this point I’ve not decided I’m going to run,” Fudge told the Post, referring to her own potential candidacy for House speaker. “But I would say this: My concern about the caucus is the same concern I have about the country. Just as there is this undertone of racism in the country, there’s also that in our caucus.”

From HuffPost:

Fudge pointed to Pelosi’s refusal to endorse in the race for majority whip, a contest between the current No. 3 Democrat—and CBC stalwart—Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.).

“But she wants our endorsements?” Fudge said of Pelosi. “Who has she endorsed?”

As CNN reports, Fudge was among 17 signees who pledged not to vote for Pelosi come January, when the House speaker vote will be held (the signees were a mix of incumbents and newly elected reps). Like many progressives, Fudge feels it’s high time for a House speaker who better reflects the black and brown voters who fueled the party’s gains in recent years.

This is my favorite comment

There are moderate republicans all over the place. Democrats just haven’t tried hard enough to reach them yet. They need to ignore the minorities and progressives of the party (they’re going to vote democrat no matter what, so it’s safe to ignore them), and really stick to status quo policy like increasing military spending, cutting social programs, and making sure corporations are profitable as possible.

Then come 2020, watch all these republicans come vote for democrats.
