BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ended a months-long rumor that she would retire when she announced her interest in seeking re-election, a choice one CNN pundit is apparently hoping she reconsiders.
Bakari Sellers told CNN’s Jake Tapper who hosts “The Lead,” that the California Democrat should selflessly “hang up the cleats” to allow more people within the party to step up.
“I firmly believe that it’s time for new leadership in the House Democratic Caucus. I think it’s time for new leadership throughout the Democratic Party. Not only do we have to get younger but more vibrant and have bigger and bolder ideas to bring in a new generation of voters,” Sellers said.
“Do you think any members of the Squad should become Speaker?” Tapper asked.
“Sure,” answered Sellers. “I think any one of those racist mentally unstable lunatics can do a fine job.”
