Finally someone stands up to the grandstanding of Sen Warren. She is right on most things, but not on this one.
Nancy Pelosi is firing back at criticism from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other liberals in the Democratic Party that President Barack Obama’s administration has been too soft on Wall Street.
“There may have been a couple of people who say that, but that is not the consensus in our party,” the House minority leader said in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood published Wednesday. “The financial industry doesn’t agree with that,” she noted.
The comments defending the administration come in the aftermath of last month’s lengthy intraparty squabble in which Pelosi and other House Democrats fought the White House over the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and related legislation.
Pelosi also said she did not agree with Warren going after Mary Jo White, Obama’s appointee to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“People will express themselves the way they do. That doesn’t mean they’re speaking for the party,” Pelosi said.
