Pelosi shares her most difficult moment as House
showed that, while rioters strode through the Capitol’s hallways with bear spray and body armor in search of Pelosi — yelling “Where are you, Nancy?” and “Bring her out!” — she remained calm as she made efforts to reach the National Guard and procure the safety of her fellow lawmakers.
“The Republicans would roll out stuff that sounded like a chocolate sundae, but it’s more like doggy doo,” she said. “So I’d rather be writing the Affordable Care Act or any other massive legislation than to have to go to my members and say, ‘My friend, in friendship, I really need your vote to sustain the president’s veto.’ That was the hardest.”
Pelosi said she had not had any formal conversations with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy , who is seeking to become House speaker next year, but said she didn’t think anyone needed her advice.“You’ve heard me say even about our own distinguished leadership. I’m not going to be the mother-in-law who comes in and says, this is the way my son likes his turkey, stuffing, his scrambled eggs or anything else. They have to have their own vitality about it all. And they do,” Pelosi said.
“I want women to have confidence,” Pelosi said. “So sometimes when I act a little more, shall we say, like myself, it’s because I want them to know it’s okay to assert yourself, to have confidence in what you bring to the table, and also to understand your uniqueness.”
