In reply to the discussion: Why Would a Freshman Congress Member Feel Qualified to Be Speaker? [View all]malthaussen
(17,184 posts)I believe OP is inadvertently spreading the RW narrative by asking this question. I was just reading an article (fumbles for link, can't find it, shrugs shoulders) suggesting that the recent "demonstrations" about climate change outside Nancy Pelosi's office suggest that there is an insurgency of first-term radicals against a Pelosi speakership, despite the fact that the incoming Congresscritters have already stated full support for Pelosi. IIRC, it is pretty much doing their job for legislators to discuss their concerns with the leadership, sometimes quite forcefully. This is not tantamount to saying "Throw the bum out, I'm a better choice to lead."
Ah, another DU poster has said it better (and has the link I was looking for).
