Newt Gingrich: Pelosi's Iowa power grab – here's why House speaker is trying to steal this seat
Fox News
Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is the certified winner of Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District election. In an ironic show of Democratic hypocrisy, her opponent, Rita Hart – with the help of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. – is objecting to the election results.
Miller-Meeks won by a small margin of six votes, as certified by a bipartisan election board. Hart realized her challenge was more likely to be favorably entertained by Pelosi than by any court, so she bypassed Iowa’s court system and took her objection directly to the U.S. Congress. Pelosi’s attempt to steal influence is not a new strategy; it comes from the heart of the Democratic Playbook. Pelosi and the House Democrats should leave this to Iowa’s courts and election officials, and yet every Democrat on the House Committee on Administration voted to bring Hart’s case to Congress. No Republicans supported the move.More Related News
