Pelosi deserves $200M for San Francisco park, Dem says: ‘She does more for America' than others in Congress

One Democrat, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee (https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/tennessee), defended the allocation for the Presidio, the 1,500-acre park and golf course near the Golden Gate Bridge, claiming Pelosi deserves the money for her hometown because of the hard work she undertakes as speaker, the report said.
"If it weren’t for her working 24/7, and she does, to keep this place going, we wouldn’t be going," Cohen said, according to the Times. "She does more for America than any other member, I would submit in this Congress, times 10. So I support the proposal."

No, she doesn't do far more for America than anyone else, she does far more to America than just about anyone else.  And none of it good.

One naturally wonders what this pork-laden monstrosity has hidden in it for Rep. Cohen.

Good luck trying to find out, because the text of the bill doesn't yet exist... five days before it is to be voted on.
