Pelosi Says D.C. Statehood Will Reaffirm Truth All ‘Deserve A Voice In Our Democracy’ | NBC News NOW
Pelosi u know better shame on u
It would cost a fortune. Imagine the price for just replacing all of the flags. Just one more Democratic Party scam.
power hungry politician.
Making DC a state is Racist !! Stop being Racist Democrats !!
Just donate it back to the states that the made the district, problem solved.
Why should DC with a population of 692,000 get as many senate votes as California with 39.5 million people?
Nancy we have democratic republic,
Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality Equality
I would support this if DC was returned to the Indigenous peoples. They would then have a real voice in government. The present population will be relocated using reparations funds.
Washington DC becomes a state and it goes red. Wth is going to happen? Dude this is bizarre. We’re living in the twilight zone
JFK and J. Edgar Hoover should have used a suppository on young Nancy Pelosi, instead of Marilyn Monroe.
All deserve a voice just as long as they vote Democrat
Stop this war with race hate and breaking the constitution .you sworn to uphold it .stop this polosi .we are sick of the left destroying amarica .before covid i never knew you all i see is evil .stop flamming the fire of race hate
Democrats will destroy this country just to get power…
All for power for Vodka Nancy and her communist friends aka fellow Democrats.
You guys are a bunch of idiots You guys are going to get destroyed and I meant terms
Idiots in Washington.
A good liberal is a dead liberal..
Democrats want everyone else to play fair…..but refuse to be anything near fair.
Just call it power grab at any cost. Shame on you.
Blocking DC statehood will be yet another republican attempt to suppress the African American vote
Making DC a state is unconstitutional, not that they care of course.
The capitol is supposed to be separate from the States, these jokers just don’t understand. It’s all a mad power grab for them.
Long overdue! While you're at it… why shouldn't Puerto Ricans have the right to vote?
This is a power grab. Those lands belong to Maryland and Virginia!!! They gave it up for the capital to use!!! Look behind the reasoning of the founding fathers to do this!!!
This will help us cheat in future elections more efficiently and give us an underhanded way of having a majority in the senate, I don't see the problem.
Biden didn't win the presidency globalism did
There is no equal rights in this world the rich and elite have only rights other people have nothing
