In reply to the discussion: Democrat's Response (Connolly) To The NLRB Hacking Is Pathetic [View all]lapucelle
(20,943 posts)- You're wrong about a Vice Chair/Vice Ranking Member being "next in line" to lead a Democratic House committee
- You're wrong on the facts concerning Representative Connolly's position and role across four Congressional sessions on the Oversight committee
- You're wrong about Speaker Emeritus Pelosi's supposed omnipotence in manipulating secret ballot votes to install favorites in leadership roles
- You're wrong in characterizing winning a secret ballot election as being "given a promotion" based on race and gender.
The simple fact of the matter is that that the Democratic Caucus overwhelmingly elected the candidate with more experience and a superior legislative record for actually getting bills passed.
And it's probably a good thing because it freed up the loser to "run around the country" (as Sanders likes to put it) on a publicity tour while the winner stays in Washington actually doing the work involved in leading the Oversight Committee, which (apparently unbeknownst to the person who wrote the OP) includes writing the detailed Oversight letters to government agencies and officials that become part of the official Congressional record.

What's shameful is learning the actual facts (as opposed to falling for a divisive narrative in which women in government "plot" and "scheme" against each other) and nonetheless digging in and insistently repeating misinformation to the point that it becomes disinformation.
