Nancy Pelosi with one for the ages: "We did all we could, Elijah"

[kpete]

Pelosi quotes a question from the late Oversight chairman Elijah Cummings, who passed away during the impeachment probe: “when you’re dancing with the angels...what did you do to keep our democracy intact?”
“We did all we could, Elijah,” she answered.

--- Madame Speaker! ---

But we have more to do. We will have to strive with all our might to evict the criminal cabal from our White House and Senate. We will have to heal the wounds they have inflicted. Around the scar tissue, we will have to enact new guards to inoculate our body politic from a recurrence of the disease they carried into our bloodstream. Yes, more to do.

16. We Love And Miss You Elijah

And we honor your memory.
