Pelosi is just as spineless. More than likely, the instant backlash was probably surprising to these folks since they're so amazingly out of touch. If it starts to look like trouble for reelection/pocketbook, then they pretend to be activists.
Haven't clicked on the article, not sure yet. Based on these comments though, if i had literally no other information, either Pelosi or Schumer is super old and bad and needs to retire.
I do have some information though. Both of them need to go away. They still have Bernie Sanders so we should avoid the Jan 6 strategy.
