After a decade of control, Nancy Pelosi’s grip on the House Minority Speaker role — and her control of the Democratic Party — is slowly slipping from her grasp.
Pelosi was reminded of that during an interview at liberal network MSNBC.
And judging by her reaction, she was not happy to hear it.
“There is still a contingent on the left-side of the Democratic Party — and it’s ironic because you are, of course, also a liberal member of the party — that would like to see you ousted ask leader,” MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid told Pelosi.
Pelosi’s face immediately after was a mixture of disbelief, anger, and sadness all at once… and a picture from the moment tells a thousand words.
Pelosi, it seems, is very worried about her position as a leader of the Democratic Party.
These concerns are warranted, critics say. According to a series of polls from Rasmussen and Quinnipiac, Pelosi’s approval rating nationwide has plunged — from 38.1 percent favorable to just 29.6 percent favorable over the past year, The Huffington Post reported.
Additionally, persistent rumors of poor health have hounded the longtime San Francisco-based representative.
