The DNC will trample over the body of a black woman to ensure old white elitist Pelosi again becomes Speaker.
When the Democrats lost the House and Pelosi lost the gavel, James Clyburn, a black Democrat from SC was Minority Whip, making him the highest ranking Democrat in the House. The DNC leadership TOOK HIS POSITION AWAY FORM HIM GAVE IT TO PELOSI SO SHE COULD REMAIN THE HIGHEST RANKING DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE. To appease Clyburn / blacks and make it look like they were NOT screwing over blacks again by doing it, they CREATED a 'new' position and position title for Clyburn...to make him feel better about getting screwed and - like with Hillary - the old white elitist female being GIVEN the top spot.
The highest ranking Democrat is the Minority Leader, not the Minority whip.
Pelosi lost her gavel, leaving Clyburn as the 'highest raking' Democrat by position held...besides Pelosi is the one who LOST the DNC the House. I forget how the Democrats reward incompetence and failure, though.
I'm sorry! You are STILL incorrect. Clyburn had to be re elected to his position also.. Pelosi became the Minority Leader when she left the Speakership. Clyburn was never the second ranking Democrat in the House. He was and still remains behind Pelosi and Hoyer.
"After the
2010 elections, the Democrats lost their majority in the House. The departing Speaker Nancy Pelosi ran for the Minority Leader position in order to remain the House party leader, while Clyburn announced that he would challenge
Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking Democrat in the House and the outgoing Majority Leader, for the Minority Whip post. Clyburn had the support of the
Congressional Black Caucus, which wanted to keep an African-American in the House leadership, while Hoyer had 35 public endorsements, including three standing committee chairs. On November 13, Pelosi announced a deal whereby Hoyer would stand as Minority Whip, while a "number three" leadership position styled
Assistant Leader would be created for Clyburn."
