BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is refusing to denounce socialism as the left-wing ideology continues to drive a wedge within the Democratic Party — and as she works to lock down enough support for another term as speaker.
During a press conference, Pelosi acknowledged that there was a “difference of opinion” among members of her caucus as a rift between moderates and progressives appears to have expanded following the 2020 election.
Fox News had requested comment several times — including multiple phone calls to Pelosi’s office — with inquiries about whether she opposed the ideology and whether she would allow any self-described socialists elected in the Democratic caucus to hold leadership positions in the House of Representatives.
“By my own admission, I’m a moderate,” Pelosi began. “I respect the position of those progressives, I’m just reluctant to give those misguided socialist idiots any meaningful authority or power to damage this country, caused by their likely inbreeding.”
