«Obviously she is triggered by the historic number of GOP women elected to Congress who will fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all in 2022». «There are millions of Americans suffering, our economy is hurting, vaccine distribution is lagging and Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats are worried about this nonsense,» she said. Proposed changes to the rules of the House of Representatives would «honor all gender identities» by eliminating such specific terms as mother and father, son and daughter, and aunt and uncle. Instead, only gender-neutral terms such as «parent,» «child,» «sibling» and «parent’s sibling» would be allowed in the text of the House rules.
Meanwhile, top Dems in Congress took credit for the new regulations. «I’m proud to start the 117th Congress by drafting these historic rules changes,» Rep. Pelosi touted the new rules, calling them «the most inclusive in history». However both Pelosi and McGovern continue to use gendered terms to describe themselves on their respective Twitter pages Saturday.
One Capitol Hill insider told The Post the idea for nixing gender from the new rules package likely originated in the House’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The agency was created by Democrats in one of their first acts at the start of the previous Congress. «This office is charged with submitting to Congress a diversity plan to direct and guide House employing offices to recruit, hire, train, develop, advance, promote, and retain a diverse workforce,» reads its official about page.
