Trump made fun of the speaker’s teeth; enemies circulated a doctored video that made her appear drunk. Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) said of Pelosi that “it must suck to be that dumb” as Trump flashed a Biff Tannen grin at the insult.
When Pelosi stood up to make her point as the only woman at a table full of men discussing Syria, Trump called her “unhinged.”
She hasn’t let any of it slow her down or back her down. She purses her lips and mercy claps at them, refusing to engage in the profane, ugly language that swirls around her.
Still, they’re after her. It’s the men who become unhinged at her power.
The morning after the president was impeached, the New York Post minimized that huge fact on its front page. Instead the cover displayed a photo of Pelosi in her somber Impeachment Day black suit, calling her a “Swamp mistress” and declaring “It’s your funeral.”
I wish it was just the men on the Right who are unhinged by her unapologetic authority, and her lack of concern at their disapproval and disgust, blowing holes in their presumtion that their approval is the ultimate goal and metric of a woman's self worth. Calling her a "hag" was supposed to shut her down. She just smiles and refuses to just go away and knit somewhere.
