Nancy Pelosi made arrangements to send Ilhan Omar back to Africa and went with her





Ilhan Omar

@IlhanMN
They said “send her back” but Speaker @SpeakerPelosi didn’t just make arrangements to send me back, she went back with me ✊🏽
So grateful for the honor to return to Mother Africa with the @TheBlackCaucus and commemorate The Year of Return! #Doorofreturn #Ghana

the tweets from the twit. We can win that game of playing a different message every day. She doesn't call IT "You Big Dummy", the sarcasm and implied humiliation just rolls off her tongue while smiling.

I would want Madame Pelosi on my team in a bar fight or a high brow debate.

A brilliant move, both for external PR and for building relationships within the caucus.
Plus it looks like a fun and worthy trip all in itself.
Kudos to everyone involved!

it's sick...and so are they. Can you imagine the minds behind those comments? Hopefully they are more bot, than human.

she is such a class act as someone noted above.
You can imagine the "why don't they stay there" tweets that are about to be composed

Speaker Pelosi spoke at the rally and walked down market street for at least 1 1/2 miles in heels. I was so impressed by her courage to be among the people. So this doesn’t surprise me.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi !

Because we actually tolerate different ideas and opinions. Right media?
