fine for her to stand up for herself in the moment. Too many times we are given a pat on the head and told that it we I'll wait for later. I very much doubt that a confrontation by a man would have been dealt with so dismissively. I didn't see her being angry, just assertive about a wrong and trying to address it. I would rather have directness from a candidate than so much of the phone backslapping we've seen men engage in. It's what I like about Speaker Pelosi. She's fearlessly direct.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Depends on whom one believes, I suppose. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #28
