Who’s the real speaker of the House? According to Fox News host Sean Hannity, it’s certainly not Nancy Pelosi. While she technically holds the title of speaker, her recent behavior suggests she’s nothing but a pawn or puppet to the party’s more radical elements, he argued Wednesday.
As evidence, he pointed to her defense of anti-Semitic Muslim congresswoman Omar Ilhan. Earlier Wednesday she reportedly told Jake Sherman of Politico that the freshman congresswoman’s recent comments about Jews weren’t “intentionally anti-Semitic.”
PELOSI just told us she did not think @IlhanMN’s comments were “intentionally anti Semitic”

“Instead of taking punitive action, Speaker Pelosi is making excuses for the congresswoman,” Hannity noted later that evening on his eponymously titled Fox News show. “She’s obviously afraid of taking this stand. Why? Because congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is publicly supporting Omar.”
One of the Muslim congresswoman’s staunchest defenders has been fellow freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who this week has been publicly pushing back against a resolution to condemn anti-Semitism that was introduced by Pelosi.
One of the things that is hurtful about the extent to which reprimand is sought of Ilhan is that no one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx + other communities (during the shutdown, a GOP member yelled “Go back to Puerto Rico!” on the floor). https://t.co/MwrRN4v4DG

“Calling out” is one of the measures of last resort, not 1st or 2nd resort.
We do it when repeated attempts to “call in” are disrespected or ignored. And I believe that Ilhan, in her statement a few weeks ago, has demonstrated a willingness to listen+work w/impacted communities.

And don’t even get me started on misogyny.
If we called resolutions on sexist statements, a good chunk of Congress would be gone.
To jump to the nuclear option every time leaves no room for corrective action.
So I ask *everyone* that we practice calling in before calling out.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 5, 2019
The resolution was originally scheduled for a vote Wednesday but has since been indefinitely delayed because of pushback from radicals like Ocasio-Cortez, among others.
In fact, when the “House speaker” held a closed-door meeting with Democrats on Wednesday to discuss the resolution, she was reportedly “taken aback” by the pro-Omar fury she encountered.
“So that means without a doubt House Speaker Pelosi is terrified of being overthrown by even more radicals within her party,” Hannity’s monologue continued. “So tonight it’s pretty safe to say that the real speaker of the House for the Democrats is Ocasio-Cortez, not Nancy Pelosi.”
“She’s calling the shots,” he added. “And sadly, this kind of apathy about racism, bigotry inside the Democrat Party — it’s nothing new.”
Listen to the monologue below:
Within the past month or so alone Democrats have made headlines for having worn blackface in the past, for referring to black people with the n-word, for handing out cotton to black children and for continuing to associate with notorious anti-Semites like Linda Sarsour.
“Sarsour frequently advocates for Shariah law, she once applauded the genital mutilation of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, she recently blamed the ‘Jewish media’ for negative press — and Sarsour is beloved by so many on the left,” Hannity explained.
“In fact, she even shared with many prominent Democrats, including recently presidential contenders Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand.”
True:
Sarsour and Omar are both Sharia (law) supporters. Both want to see the US Constitution replaced with Sharia. Do NOT turn the US into an Islamic State. Do NOT vote for anyone campaigning with Linda Sarsour, including Bernie Sanders. pic.twitter.com/wpY0knn7ZN

I have asked you for months to denounce the #antisemitism that Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland have perpetrated. You have never responded. even to my emails. I am your constituent who has seen #antisemitism rise.
You will never get my vote. pic.twitter.com/yiReySbyuH

She’s also been seen with Omar:

And of course AOC, who Hannity believes is the true speaker of the House:

“And earlier Sarsour wouldn’t even say whether Irsrael and the Jewish people who live there have a right to even exist,” Hannity concluded.
Yet all this blatant bigotry and hatred is dismissed and buried by Pelosi, lest she upset AOC and crew.
Like The Washington Post highlighted in an “analysis” piece Thursday, “The fiery clutch of freshman House Democrats — diverse, female and unapologetically outspoken — isn’t just making noise in Washington. The new Democrats — symbolized by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — are pushing to change the way the nation’s capital does business, challenging the old guard in ways it’s not used to. And in some cases, the new Democrats are winning.”
And taking over, as noted by social media:
Pelosi is the Speaker of the House in name only, AOC has taken over and that must really piss off the few real Democrats left https://t.co/Bn551tG3GH

It’s amazing to see someone as skilled and experienced as Pelosi get completely outmatched by a bunch of first term House reps who refuse to condemn antisemitism within the party.
— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) March 7, 2019
So with the failure to hold Omar accountable for her repeat anti-Semitic Tweet storms, Nancy Pelosi has shown she’s lost control of the House — and her party. Meet the new Democrats/Socialists.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 6, 2019
It took less than 3 months for Pelosi to lose control of her party. Just wild.
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 7, 2019
I think you need to do some serious thinking about saving your ass. AOC has taken over, your party is out of control and you will become extinct by 2020. It’s Ash Wednesday, maybe start asking to be forgiven for being a baby killer while you still have time.

AOC has taken over for Pelosi
— JohnnyB (@JohnnyB_92) March 7, 2019
@SpeakerPelosi do I see AOC is calling the shots so she has taken over your job. HAHAHAHA!
— Ann Marie (@ecochran01) March 7, 2019
The Democrat party under the leadership of @SpeakerPelosi has abdicated it’s responsibility to govern, has been taken over by the likes of @AOC @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib, and is endorsing anti-Semitism.

Apparently, AOC had meant it in earnest when she’d exclaimed last month, “I’m the boss!”
