Two things:
Pelosi has clearly been enriched by her office via insider trading. Thats something she can be called to question about, and ejected from congress-- even possibly prosecuted. The person in the oversight seat in question would have the power to hold Pelosi accountable. That doesnt seem to be a coincidence that Pelosi would take a special interest in keeping AOC out of that chair. Its the same story as always in the US, The empowered rigging the system so they can be exempt from the laws designed to be applied to the little people.
Living in fear of how conservatives will call you names is a cowards position, on top of being ineffective. If you spend all your time worrying about ways you can be bullied, you are just a slave to the bullies whims, are you not? Better to call them names back or kick them in the nuts. You'll never stop the ridicule by cowering or going along with whatever they say. And the conservatives hate Pelosi more than AOC anyway, so I dont see how your logic is even internally consistent. Are you actually Nancy Pelosi by chance?
Nancy Pelosi needs to GTFO. We dont need 84 year old oligarchs in government positions at all. We should have an age limit, and a wealth limit in order to be eligible serve.
