Nancy Pelosi’s Fake Kennedy Award: Profiles in Predictability

U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi received the 2019 Profile in Courage award at John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston on Sunday, May 19. She was praised “for putting the national interest above her party’s interest.” Whatever she did or did not do in her party’s interest, the California Democrat certainly has never wavered in pursuing her own interest.

Since first winning a special election to Congress in 1987, Pelosi has routinely racked up more than three-quarters of the votes cast in her reelection bids. Most recently, she tallied more than 86 percent of the vote in her successful 2018 campaign.

Having gained the highest position of power any woman has ever achieved in the United States, the Speaker is assuredly doing nothing to diminish her own position. Since 2002, Pelosi has spent nearly two decades as Democrat Minority Leader and Speaker of the House. That secure lock on real power is matched by few politicians in American history and by no one else in the 21st Century.

Pelosi is a disgrace to the memory of John F Kennedy and this award. She does not hold a candle to JFK nor be able to shine his shoes.

I thought Secretary of State was higher than Pelsoi. She is only the Democratic House speaker. So Hillary (as a woman) debatable - held the highest position. Sorry if I am wrong.
