Nancy Pelosi Brutally Shades Trump Without Even Using His Name
HuffPost
The former Democratic House speaker came up with a dismissive way to refer to the ex-president.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) put Donald Trump on blast on Monday ― and at one point found a dismissive way to refer to the former president without even using his name.
“I’ll just use this word that is really lacking on the Republican side, both in the Congress and with what’s-his-name who used to be president,” the former House speaker said on CNN. “Respect.”
The moment came during a discussion with Anderson Cooper about current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who lost two major votes on the House floor last week.
“What do you think of Speaker Johnson?” Cooper asked. “You would not have brought up bills you didn’t have the votes for.”
“Never,” Pelosi said. “Never.”
