(Martin Walsh) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed on Monday that the nation’s first president would have tears in his eyes because of the “departure from our democracy” that she said will continue unless Congress passes voting rights legislation.

During an event on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pelosi wagged her finger and declared that Congress “must-pass” the Democrats two radical voting bills — the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

“So I asked our colleagues in the Senate, respectfully, for what they think the filibuster means, to compare that, to weigh the equities against our democracy. Because nothing less is at stake than our democracy. This is about suppressing the vote,” Pelosi said.

“It’s about nullifying the election, which Dr. King talked about that day. Nullifying the election. It is about just doing so many things to be obstacles to participation. That’s wrong. The truth is, that’s wrong. And this family and John Lewis, and so beautifully that this bill is named for him, but the first bill, he wrote the first 300 pages of what is now called Freedom to Vote,” she added.

“And as has been indicated by the king family, this bill is supported by all of the Democrats, House, and Senate. It’s just the filibuster in the way. So, in a way, if you really, truly want to honor Dr. King, don‘t dishonor him by using a congressional custom as an excuse for protecting our democracy. We have no right to honor this family, to visit the monument,” she continued.

“Imagine, 36 years old, someone left this earth in such a way that he has a monument on the mall along with Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson — all of them with tears in their eyes for the departure from our democracy that is happening right now, unless the truth is acknowledged and this legislation is passed. And with that, I want to yield to our distingui — am I introducing?” she asked.

“Our distinguished chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Working with her has been a joy because she has been so persistent. She brings her own record of civil rights experience to the Congress and to the subject, as does our distinguished whip, Mr. Clyburn,” Pelosi said.

WATCH:

During a speech in Georgia last week, Biden compared siding against this voting legislation with being on the side of some of the most anti-Civil Rights people in the history of the nation, which drew criticism even from Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin.

“Do you want to be … on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?” the president said in the speech.

“It is stark, and I will concede that point,” the senator said when he was interviewed by CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

“Perhaps the president went a little too far in his rhetoric. Some of us do, but the fundamental principles and values at stake are very, very similar,” he said.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
