Pelosi Busted on Hot Mic Getting Confused During First Speech to Congress [WATCH]
Nancy Pelosi was busted on a hot mic getting confused during her first speech to Congress.
Remember, January 3 was only day one of what promises to be a wild two years.
Democrats are now in charge of the House of Representatives, and Pelosi has once again been voted Speaker.
She begins her speech: “As we take the oath of office today, we accept responsibility as daunting and demanding as any that previous generations of leadership have faced.“
Then, caught on a hot mic: “I think I skipped a couple pages. I’m not sure.“

Here’s the beginning of Nancy’s speech, but you can check out the full transcript at this link.
Thank you, Leader McCarthy. I look forward to working with you in a bipartisan way for the good of our country, respecting the constituents who sent each of us here.
Every two years, we gather in this chamber for a sacred ritual. Under the dome of this temple of our democracy, the Capitol of the United States, we renew our great American experiment.
I am particularly proud to be the woman Speaker of the House of this Congress, which marks 100 years of women winning the right to vote, as we serve with more than 100 women in the House of Representatives – the highest number in history.
Each of us comes to this chamber strengthened by the trust of our constituents and the love of our families. We welcome all your families who are with us today.
Let me thank my family: my husband Paul; our five children Nancy Corinne, Christine, Jacqueline, Paul, and Alexandra; our grandchildren, and my D’Alesandro family from Baltimore.
"If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership role in the world will soon be lost."

Did you know America has three coasts?
Pelosi (CA) has apparently just clued the rest of us in on a monumental secret.
The next Speaker of the House struggled with U.S. geography on Thursday as she once again announced her opposition to a wall along the border with Mexico.
“We, most of us, speaking for myself, consider the wall immoral, ineffective and expensive, and the President said – he promised – he also promised Mexico would pay for it.“
“So even if they did, it’s immoral still, and then they’re not going to pay for it. So that isn’t how I would interpret a congressional – a continuing resolution.“
[…]
“We have a responsibility, all of us, to secure our borders, North, South, and coming in by plane on our coasts, three coasts–North, South and West–and that’s the responsibility we honor. But we do so by honoring our values as well.“

What don’t Americans want?
Amnesty for illegal aliens.
Does Pelosi care what Americans want?
Nope.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) promised over the weekend to pass the Dream Act in the new Congress, which would provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
Pelosi: “America draws strength from our long, proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. In the Majority, Democrats will work to reverse the Republicans’ destructive anti-immigrant agenda. Our House Democratic Majority will once again pass the Dream Act to end the uncertainty and fear inflicted on patriotic young men and women across the country.”
Republicans today will agree with then-Senator Harry Reid (D-NV).
He says “no sane country” would give birthright citizenship to illegal immigrants.
Reid declared on the Senate floor: “If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn’t enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that, right? Guess again.“
“If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee a full access to all public and social services that this society provides, and that’s a lot of services.“

In 2015, Hillary Clinton boasted about voting to build “barriers” on the southern border to keep out illegal aliens while she was a senator.
In 2009, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said illegal immigration is “wrong.”
However, President Donald Trump chose to tweet out a 2005 clip of former President Barack Obama basically saying illegals were not welcome in America, noting that illegals “disrespect the rule of law.”
Obama: “Those who come here illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”
Trump agrees with Obama.

On Hillary’s stance from 2015, per Weekly Standard:
“Well look,” Clinton said, “I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders.”
