House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) called two Democrats who’ve called for her ouster from party leadership “inconsequential,” saying they don’t have a following in the caucus.
“Let’s look ahead to the speaker contest that would follow the election,” Rolling Stonereporter Tim Dickinson asked Pelosi. “What do you make of the Tim Ryans or Seth Moultons who’ve called for a new generation of leadership–”
“Inconsequential. They don’t have a following in our caucus. None,” Pelosi said.
Dickinson asked Pelosi if their overtures against her were “frustrated ambition.”
“I don’t know,” she said. “I think there are lots of people who have worked very hard, and are more in line for what will happen one of these times. But they’re not to be considered [among] who those people would be. I mean, there are people who work very hard to win the elections, who have been in legislative battles. People who paid their dues. Not to put anybody down. Anybody is consequential.” – READ MORE
