The latest overreach by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is to unseat Representative\u00a0 Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won election in Iowa\u2019s 2nd Congressional District. Representative Miller-Meeks won a close election which was certified, and she was sworn in and seated in the House of Representatives. Even some Democrats believe that the efforts to unseat her are wrong,<\/p>\n
The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article yesterday about the controversy.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I cannot support overturning an election, especially given everything that\u2019s gone on,\u201d Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), a swing district Democrat, told the \u201cSkullduggery\u201d podcast. \u201cI can\u2019t turn around and vote to decertify something that\u2019s been stamped and approved in Iowa.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) defeated Hart by six votes during the Nov. 3, 2020, election. Hart asked the\u00a0House Administration Committee, led by longtime Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), to investigate the election.<\/strong><\/p>\n Other Democrat members of the House have expressed concern over the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) said March 22<\/a>\u00a0that the \u201celection result was certified by the State of Iowa, and Rep. Miller-Meeks was sworn in nearly three months ago \u2026 it\u2019s time to move on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI have said before, in connection with the 2020 presidential election, legislators should be heeding states\u2019 certifications of their elections. Unless there is rampant error and substantial evidence thereof, I do not believe it is the role of House members to dictate the outcome of elections,\u201d Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.) told reporters this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n And Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) said Democratic leaders in the House need to abandon their pursuit of investigating and potentially overturning the Iowa congressional result.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLosing a House election by six votes is painful for Democrats,\u201d Phillips wrote<\/a> on Twitter. \u201cBut overturning it in the House would be even more painful for America.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cJust because a majority can, does not mean a majority should.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It seems as if Speaker Pelosi might be getting out over her skis. She has taken the House of Representatives farther to the left than most Americans are comfortable with. I believe that most of the Democrats in the House are starting to wonder about their chances of being reelected. That shouldn’t be their main concern, but I suspect that right now it might be.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The latest overreach by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is to unseat Representative\u00a0 Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won election in Iowa\u2019s 2nd Congressional District.
