Republicans Hate Pelosi Afraid of Her Power - GOP Propaganda to Remove They have to have a Enemy!

They have to have a Enemy! Hillary is Gone, now its Pelosi, Give em Hell Nancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do Republicans love to demonize Nancy Pelosi?

Pelosi, who's been the speaker of the House of Representatives since 2007, has employed some highly visible hardball partisan tactics to get controversial measures approved. In the last 21 months, she's muscled through bills that overhauled the nation's health care system, provided $814 billion in economic stimulus, revamped the financial regulatory system and attempted to restrain global warming.

The very qualities that make her a strong speaker — decisiveness, hardball partisanship and her willingness to impose tough discipline on her members — often don't play well during election campaigns, when voters want more empathy and civility.

to make the narrative that they should hate Pelosi because -- just look at her! -- she is diabolically evil. The propaganda has been in place for decades and like Pavlov's dogs, any stimulus depicting her is enough to set them howling.
