The ‘Greatest Threat’ To Freedom

 From The Daily Caller:

Gingrich, who served as Speaker from 1995 to 1999, wrote a July 30 op-ed, titled “The Pelosi Dictatorship and the Destruction of American Freedom,” in which he hypothetically asked House Democrats whether they support her “ruthless dictatorial behavior.”

“Let me speak bluntly and directly,” Gingrich wrote. “Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the greatest threat to constitutional liberty in our lifetime.” The former Speaker warned that Pelosi would “shatter the precedents of the U.S. House [and] undermine hundreds of years of common legislative precedent.”

Gingrich then listed what he considers violations of precedent in the House, including a recent order that would allow U.S. Capitol Police to arrest Congressional aides and visitors for not wearing masks.

“With the passive support of an apparently cowardly caucus, she is behaving as a dictator more like Fidel Castro, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or Nicolás Maduro,” Gingrich claimed.

Gingrich closed out his post by calling on members of Congress to consider stripping Pelosi of certain powers or remove her completely via a vote, citing the ousting of Speaker Joseph Cannon in 1910.

“There should be a concerted national campaign looking for ten courageous Democrats willing to stand up to the Pelosi dictatorship and defend freedom in America,” Gingrich concluded. (Read more.)

There must be some sort of profit being gained by our GOP legislators in order for them to keep their mouths shut and sit back while our Country continues its roller coaster ride to disaster.

But since the Democrats control the outcome of the vote there is not much hope of that happening.
