The conservative writer begins the article rewrite by highlighting the irony of Nancy Pelosi’s words from 2019 coming back to haunt her. They mention how House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has announced the House’s intention to investigate Joe Biden, causing Pelosi to regret her decision not to pursue an impeachment vote against Donald Trump. The writer adds a sarcastic touch by referring to this as Pelosi getting her “just deserts.”
The writer then brings in the chief political correspondent of the Washington Examiner, Byron York, who points out Pelosi’s previous stance on the impeachment inquiry. They mention how Pelosi, along with Adam Schiff, insisted that there was no requirement for an authorizing vote and that they would not hold one. This statement is used to highlight the hypocrisy of the Democrats now arguing against opening the impeachment inquiry without a formal House vote, as it was Pelosi who set the precedent in 2019.
On October 15, 2019, three weeks after unilaterally declaring an impeachment inquiry, Speaker Pelosi, backed by Adam Schiff, insisted there was no requirement to hold an authorizing vote and she would not hold an authorizing vote. https://t.co/9VKvTycJDx

The writer goes on to state that McCarthy is following Pelosi’s lead, but with much more evidence against Biden compared to Trump. They also mention that Pelosi could never have anticipated this turn of events, adding a touch of satisfaction to the article. The writer throws in an editorial opinion, stating that the marker for when Democrats should start panicking is when Vice President Kamala Harris assumes the presidential role in the event of an actual impeachment against Biden. They also mention that if Trump is re-elected, the Democrats’ destruction will be all but guaranteed.
The writer includes another tweet from Byron York, highlighting Pelosi’s delay in beginning the inquiry for political purposes. This further emphasizes the hypocrisy of the Democrats’ complaints about the process.
The writer concludes the article by stating that Pelosi’s words have come back to haunt her and that the impeachment inquiry is only the beginning. They also provide a link to a video of Pelosi trashing Trump supporters, adding a bit of additional criticism towards her.
