Today Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked to respond to the not-even-thinly-veiled sexism coming out of the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC):
Q: Madame Speaker, I was wondering if I could get a response from you on the NRCC saying, calling you "General Pelosi," and saying that you, quote, "need to be put in your place"?
PELOSI: It’s really sad. They really don’t understand how inappropriate that is. I’m in my place. I’m the Speaker of the House, the first woman Speaker of the House, and I’m in my place because the House of Representatives voted me there. But that language is something I haven't even heard in decades.
A very politely worded zinger. Adding my .02, I wish she would have told the NRCC the place where they could shove their comments.
