Rep. Nancy Mace has ripped Speaker Mike Johnson for the way he has run the House of Representatives in a New York Times op-ed, the latest sign of discontent among Republicans with the speaker.
Mace, a former moderate who moved hard to the right who is now running for governor, criticized Johnson and House leadership for closing the lawmaking process and concentrating it among themselves.
“Would opening up the floor lead to more conservative bills passing or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is: It would do both,” she wrote.
“Some Republican priorities would finally get a vote. So, too, would common-sense bipartisan measures. The point is to do more and let voters see where their representatives stand. What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency and results.”
Pelosi was a good politician. That doesn’t make her a good person. She fleeced millions from insider stock trading in her position of power.
Good politician in terms of behaving like a politician, maybe. In terms of serving her constituents? Nah.
Good politician is generally taken to mean good at corralling the other politicians into passing your agendas, at least how I usually see it use. Like how people call McConnell a “good” politician . Idk tho
Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant. Good at playing the game, not great at representing the people. Like most politicians.
