Nancy Pelosi is leading Democrats’ fundraising effort in California. She’s working to create new gerrymandered districts. Meanwhile, fire victims struggle to find rebuilding money.
Pelosi is now 85 years old.
The New York Times describes her as secret driving force. She’s advising Gov. Gavin Newsom and handing him her telephone to close donor deals.
Neither Pelosi nor Newsom shows such urgency for fire victims.
Tens of thousands need help in California. Many may sell their lots instead of rebuilding because they lack cash.
The New York Times reported Pelosi’s fundraising tactics.
“Ms. Pelosi would begin with pleasantries, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss private fund-raising calls made that day. Then she would hand the phone to Mr. Newsom to close the deal.”
The approach follows federal rules about soliciting large checks. It also shows deference to Newsom.
Newsom sought Pelosi’s private counsel over the summer before moving ahead with his redistricting measure, named Proposition 50.
She was key sounding board for Eric Holder Jr.
The former attorney general abandoned nonpartisan mapmaking commitments. She counseled California Congress members whose districts were being redrawn beneath them.
Her early endorsement served as permission slip. Lawmakers in Sacramento and Washington got on board.
Pelosi has long been top party fundraiser.
“Ms. Pelosi is now seen as a linchpin to finance a ballot campaign that could exceed $200 million. And she has already pushed top contributors to activate their networks with uncommon urgency.”
The FireAid concert raised $100 million by comparison.
Very little went directly to fire victims.
Fire victims face devastating choices across California. Families lost everything in recent blazes while insurance battles drag on for months.
Rebuilding costs have skyrocketed beyond reach.
Many homeowners discover coverage gaps too late. They’re forced to consider selling rather than rebuilding cherished family homes.
The financial burden proves overwhelming.
Pelosi’s redistricting push aims to secure Democrat control for the next decade of elections.
The effort prioritizes political power over human suffering.
California’s political elite live comfortably while working families suffer. They raise millions for political schemes while fire victims get empty promises.
Newsom and Pelosi coordinate behind closed doors.
They plot electoral advantages for their party. Displaced families wait for meaningful help.
The contrast couldn’t be starker between priorities.
Political redistricting gets immediate attention and resources. Fire victims get charity concerts and photo opportunities.
Democrat leaders prove where their loyalties lie.
Party power comes first. Human suffering takes backseat to political calculations.
Pelosi’s phone calls secure massive donor commitments for reshaping electoral maps to benefit Democrats.
Fire victims make desperate calls to insurance companies. Often getting denials and delays.
California’s leadership failure extends beyond this crisis.
Years of mismanagement created conditions for devastating fires. Now victims pay twice for government failures.
The redistricting scheme will outlast current suffering. Creating permanent political advantages for Democrats while fire victims struggle to rebuild basic shelter.
Pelosi’s legacy includes prioritizing power over people.
Even in her eighties, political scheming takes precedence over helping Americans in desperate need.
This reveals everything about Democrat priorities today.
Political control matters more than human compassion. Fire victims deserve leaders who put people first.
