Marcia Fudge, Toying With Speaker Run, Slams Nancy Pelosi
According to Fudge, I dont hate Nancy. I think Nancy has been a very good leader, Fudge told HuffPost. I just think its time for a new one.
During the course of our interview, the former Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman made it clear she thinks Pelosi has not been a vocal enough advocate for African-Americans in Congress, she dismissed suggestions that Pelosi had led Democrats back to the majority, and she painted herself as equally liberal as Pelosi.
My concern about the caucus is the same concern I have about the country. Just as there is this undertone of racism in the country, theres also that in our caucus.
Fudge pointed to Pelosis refusal to endorse in the race for majority whip, a contest between the current No. 3 Democrat ― and CBC stalwart ― Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.).
But she wants our endorsements? Fudge said of Pelosi. Who has she endorsed?
Were not feeling the love, she added.
