Washed-up former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is about to face one of the most serious challenges of her career from a person who fits the People’s Republic of San Francisco like a glove.
As the New York Post reported Friday, openly gay California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) has decided to challenge fellow San Franciscan Pelosi next year.
He previously said he would wait until the 85-year-old Pelosi retired.
Pelosi, however, signals she has no plans to do so despite her significant health issues.
“Speaker Pelosi is fully focused on her mission to win the Yes on 50 special election in California on November 4th,” Ian Krager, a spokesperson for the congresswoman, said in a statement obtained by the Post.
“She urges all Californians to join in that mission on the path to taking back the House for the Democrats,” Krager added.
Far from a quixotic challenge, Wiener will come into the race with plenty of financial backing. The Post notes that the state senator’s congressional campaign committee was set up in 2023 and had over $1 million in contributions at the end of the last month.
In many respects, Wiener makes the notoriously left-wing Pelosi look moderate and sane in comparison.
Per the Post, here is just a sample of how radical and dangerous he is:
Wiener, 55, is described as “one of the strongest LGBTQ civil rights champions in the nation,” on his state Senate profile.
He’s backed legislation promoting so-called gender-affirming care for minors; allowing non-binary designations on government IDs; and ending the mandatory inclusion of adults who have oral and anal intercourse with minors on sex offender registries, arguing that the law “disproportionately targets LGBT young people.”
Wiener, who is openly gay and regularly attends San Francisco’s annual Folsom Street Fair kink festival in a leather vest and leather tie, is also a self-described “drag queen advocate.”
In addition to his advocacy for the most sinister gender identity and far-left LGBTQ policies, Wiener is an open borders fan. He has smeared the National Guard as “Trump’s private army” and demanded the president to “stay the hell out of San Francisco.”
He has also called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “a paramilitary police force” and a “modern-day Gestapo.”
While Republicans have loved to dunk on Pelosi and have rooted for her ultimate political defeat, this may be a perfect example of being careful what you wish for.
