Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown.
Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill.
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”
“We could have in my view, perhaps gotten [Republicans] to agree to a third way,” she added, referring to a last-ditch proposal by congressional Democrats to extend current government spending for 30 days as negotiations on a longer-term bill take place.
“They may not have agreed to it, but at least the public would have seen them not agreeing to it – then [Republicans] would have been shutting the government down,” Pelosi argued.
The former House speaker pleaded with Senate Democrats hours before last week’s vote to defy Schumer and vote against the six-month spending bill.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Nancy’s is consumed by the struggle to keep her dentures from flying out of her head.
Is Pelosi saying she’s a prostitute?!
What whore does?
‘I myself don’t give away anything for nothing’
Wall Street folks wink
It’s this kind of thinking in both parties that got us where we are. “We won’t support anything you want unless you let us spend more money.”
Noone is thinking about Americans. Only about their power to extract concessions from the other side.
I bet this criminal and her criminal husband have never given one penny of their money to any real charity in their worthless and caustic lives.
PELOSI: You found paradise in America, had a good trade, made a good living. The police protected you; and there were courts of law. And you didn’t need a friend of me.
But uh, now you come to me and you say — “Don Pelosi give me justice.” — But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Madame Speaker.
Schumer... Schumer... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?
Had you come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined the election would be suffering this very day.
And that by chance if an honest man such as yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you...
