Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) was in San Francisco attending a Veterans Day celebration, where she was being honored for her advocacy on behalf of veterans.

“Speaker Emerita Pelosi returned to San Francisco to join and honor local veterans at Swords to Plowshares’ 30th Annual Veterans Day Celebration tonight, an important and longstanding district tradition she regularly attends and will mark for the last time as a Member of Congress by receiving the Lifetime Advocate for Veterans Award,” Pelosi spokesperson Ian Krager told The Sun.

Uh huh. Okay then.

    I blame Hakeem Jeffries, minority leader, and Katherine Clark, Democratic Whip.

    Clark is even in the same group that some of the missing members attended a meeting of before getting stuck in traffic during the vote.

    Also, it didn't matter, this vote was meaningless.
