Sunday 8 May 2022 04:41 PM House Speaker Pelosi slams California Gov. Newsom for claiming Dems are absent ... trends now
Nancy Pelosi slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom on Sunday after he said the Democratic Party hasn't been fighting enough for abortion rights as the Supreme Court leak showing an impending overturn of Roe v. Wade rocks the nation.
'Democrats have failed to target Republicans,' Newsom said of his own party during public remarks on Wednesday.
'Where is the Democratic Party – where's the party?' he pushed. 'Why aren't we calling this out? This is a concerted, coordinated effort and, yes, they're winning. We need to stand up. Where is the counter offensive?'
Pelosi, who has represented the district encompassing San Francisco since 1987, pushed back on the California Democratic governor during an interview with CBS Face the Nation on Sunday.
'I have no idea why anybody would make that statement unless they were unaware of the fight that has been going on,' she said of Newsom.
'The fact is that we have been fighting for a woman's right to choose – and that is to choose. We have been fighting against the Republicans in the Congress constantly,' she insisted in a pushback on her California colleague's comment.
