Scalise: Pelosi’s ‘wasted her speakership on’ trying to remove Pres. Trump
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise says the reason House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is moving to invoke the 25th amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office comes from her lack of confidence in former Vice President and Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden’s ability to govern and her inability to negotiate a bipartisan COVID-19 relief bill for the American people, he revealed on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning.
“This shows you just how misplaced Speaker Pelosi’s priorities are,” Scalise said. “We should be in Washington helping families that are struggling and recovering, small businesses that would love another round of Paycheck Protection Program funding, where there’s massive bipartisan support for Rep. Chabot’s bill to give another round of PPP funding. That could be passed tomorrow, but she’s not bringing us back for that.”
Pelosi signaled Thursday that she plans to move forward with establishing a Commission on Presidential Capacity. She and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) announced the move in a press release. The move would likely die in the Republican-controlled Senate, which Scalise said she knows would happen.
“She has been fixated for the last four years with overturning the results of the last election. Here she is again, on the heels of Vice President Pence winning handily a debate against Kamala Harris. She’s now trying to overturn the results of next month’s election. She’s wanted to remove President Trump from office because she doesn’t agree with the people’s choice from the last election,” Scalise explained.
He added, “Look, they started with the Russia hoax, they did impeachment. This is what you spent and wasted her speakership on. She should be fighting for families and small businesses, not trying to overturn the results of the election because she knows how well President Trump’s doing. And, by the way, what a signal that is to Joe Biden that she’s spending her time trying to remove President Trump from office because clearly, she mustn’t have confidence in Joe Biden’s abilities.”
Released tax filings show just how Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors spent the millions of dollars raised from “White guilt.” She paid roughly $970,000 to the company of her child’s father to help “produce live events” and other “creative services.”
Over $840,000 was paid to her brother, Paul Cullors, for security services. Daily Mail wrote that “leaders have attempted to justify” the expenses to her brother by saying the “foundation’s protection could not be entrusted to former police professionals who typically run security firms because the BLM movement is known for vehemently protesting law enforcement organizations.”
It was recently disclosed that she bought a $6 million mansion in L.A. for the organization, and denied she took money from BLM for personal matters, although shortly after it was unearthed that she had used the mansion for her own parties.
Cullors also reportedly “reimbursed BLM $73,523 for a charter flight for foundation-related travel, which the organization says she took in 2021 out of concern for COVID-19 and security threats.”
Cullors resigned last year from the organization due to criticism of her finances, such as purchasing multiple homes for herself that cost millions of dollars combined. She also admitted the charity was paying for “employment” of her sister, mother, and brother.
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc revealed from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, it ended the fiscal year with nearly $42 million in net assets. “The foundation invested $32 million in stocks from the $90 million it received as donations amid racial justice protests in 2020” adds Daily Mail.
