Rep. Claudia Tenney on MSNBC

Basically just insulted Nancy Pelosi saying she should spend time negotiating not “standing on her stiletto heels at her age for four hours”.

The host (Craig Melvin I think) was sort of stunned by this brazen cheap shot but she kept gish galloping on until they abruptly went to commercial

Did anyone see this? Please tell me she’s in danger of losing her job!

You're right that the host - it was Peter Alexander - was stunned. But he couldn't get a word in edgewise. She kept talking over him and would let him ask any questions.

She babbled on about how Pelosi wasted important time when they could be handling critical matters - I so wanted him to ask her why they hadn't dealt with these issues until now, but he never got a chance. He did manage to ask her if she thought DACA wasn't important.

I was as disgusted as you were. She was horrible.

Lots of parents have children in the military, so what he's a Marine...wasn't Kelly a Marine, look how that turned out???


I'm a veteran and I don't give free passes just because someone has worn a uniform, not anymore.

when I heard her imply that Pelosi wasted her time on something so unimportant as DACA, and I had to go take a look at who was saying something so disgusting. Utterly gagworthy.

That said, her attitude matched that of Jeb Hensarling. He took the mic after Pelosi concluded her speech, smirked in her direction and sniped that "some people come here to make speeches, others come here to make laws." Somebody in the room yelled at him for that, not that he cared.

She said Nancy was wasting time on issues that were "unimportant". Really? Then, we're supposed to just TRUST THEM that they will work in good faith on an agreement "later"?

They are so full of shit it makes me sick!
