House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was slammed by President Donald Trump’s team in a new campaign ad — and it earned the Democratic leader a new nickname.
“Nancy Antoniette.”
The nickname comes from the French Queen Marie Antoniette, who famously said when she learned French peasants had no bread, “So, let them eat cake.”
Marie Antoniette was later beheaded during the French Revolution by Republican forces.
The Trump campaign video shows Pelosi bragging about the Democratic Party slowing Trump-backed relief efforts for small businesses and workers.
Then, she’s shown standing in front of her massive $24,000 refrigerator talking about the massive gourmet ice cream selection that she’s “enjoying” during the coronavirus shutdown — and contrasts it with Americans struggling to pay bills and buy basic food items.
Everyday Americans say they’re starving and broke — and Pelosi is showing off how much she’s enjoying the lockdown while blocking relief funding.
