clearly has no idea what Pelosi has done on behalf of the same cause as Hogg speaks to.

He really should read her Congeessional record of advocating against weapons before spouting & speaking her name.
She os perhaps the best friend Hogg could have in the House when it comes to advocating for his passionate plea for gun control.

Yet he singled out Pelosi? As too fking OLD?

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Her record on pushing for gun control has been relentless.
He should get to know the voting records 9f those in Congress before he repeats the RW election year dream meme.

The NRA hates Pelosi. And her record tells us why.

Do some research, Mr Hogg. You seriously NEED Speaker Pelosi if you want to finally bring your cause to Law.

Geezus!
