America's Voice - run by Frank Sharry - has started a letter-writing campaign to "Thank Speaker Pelosi for Her Leadership". The "leadership" in question is her recent comments that family-separating immigration raids are "un-American", comments that she later reinforced by calling those raids "not the American way". Says they (americasvoiceonline.org/page/speakout/PelosiReforms):
She said that knocking down doors in the middle of the night to tear mothers and fathers from their children is un-American. We agree. Unsurprisingly, right-wing radio hosts and TV commentators have launched a full-scale attack on Speaker Pelosi, calling her un-American for demanding a reform to our laws and a halt on immigration raids.
"Full-scale"? I wish. A couple House members have denounced her remarks, and it's probably been featured on Fox News several times, but it's certainly far from entering the national consciousness. And, her latest remarks have caused barely a ripple.
