Some needed context.
First, Pelosi, who is loopy enough on her own, is being egged on by extremist new members of the Democratic caucus who are so radical they make her seem positively middle of the road by comparison.
Second, Pelosi is attempting to intimidate those members of her caucus who are nervous about being (correctly) labeled as, at best, soft on infanticide, at worst active supporters of standing by and watching abortion survivors die.
I’m told Pelosi screamed at one female member of the Democratic caucus. There is no reason to believe this is not 100% accurate.
It’s one thing for Democratic men to jump ship. Pelosi will go after them in her usual cutthroat manner.
But Democratic females? You can just imagine the heat Pelosi is putting on them.
