Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was rebuked as an "elite" during a recent Oxford Union debate, where she argued that populism in the United States is a threat to democracy.
Pelosi — a self-described "devout" Catholic — said during the April 25 debate that certain Americans, whom she considered to be "poor souls who are looking for some answers," refuse to accept the answers Democrats give them on particular topics due to their beliefs about "guns, gays, [and] God."
Challenging Pelosi's position in the debate about populism, Winston Marshall, a musician who was once a part of Mumford and Sons and now hosts the "Marshall Matters" podcast for The Spectator, spoke in opposition to the Oxford Union motion that "This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy."
The Oxford Union at the UK's famed university holds itself as a defender of free speech, and has hosted events with numerous U.S. politicians in the past, including former Republican House Speakers Newt Gingrich and Kevin McCarthy.
Marshall argued at the April 25 debate that the meaning of the word "populist" has been changed by "elites [who] have failed" to align with their own narrative.
"'Populism' has become a word used synonymously with ‘racist.’ We've heard ‘ethno-nationalist,’ we have ‘bigot,’ we have ‘hillbilly,’ ‘redneck,’ we have ‘deplorable,’" Marshall said. Pelosi had argued in her remarks that contemporary American populism currently had an ethno-nationalist character.
"Elites use it to show their contempt for ordinary people," Marshall said.

IF PELOSI is a DEVOUT CATHOLIC-—
I am the captain of a cruise ship
BTTT
in other words pelousy believes and states that no one has any right to disagree with what she believes because she has dictator rights?
Oxford, Nancy figured she had the perfect audience to bash America.
Always has. Most of the Democrat elite do.
LOL! a devout Catholic? Nancy Pelosi is devoted... to Nancy Pelosi! As for poor souls looking for answers... aren't we all?! But we don't want the answers Democrats provide!
Seems that liberal white women are always condescending. I guess it’s because they are so much smarter and care so much more than other people, the helpless and dimiwitted men and people of color.
Note well - the same nutbars decrying “populism” have been working feverishly to do away with the Electoral College in American elections, in favor of the “popular vote” as well as their 2 Senators per state.
Mob rule is A-OK with them, so long as the mob can be used to gain permanent one party rule.

Marshall said the way the cameras were set up you couldn’t see how badly she was behaving during the event. When he was speaking, she was constantly scowling and mouthing things like “Who do you think you are?” at him.
“ guns gays and God” is directed at conservatives and is the equivalent to the slogan “ from the river to the sea”….both directed to dehumanize and eliminate anyone in the way of the sloganeers …utter contempt. No co existence.
Nancy Pelosi, the “Devout” Catholic that knows more about G_D than priests, bishops and the pope. The bible is filled with condemnation of the things she supports and does. Maybe Nancy believes she is god? Will she demand the people bow down and worship her soon? Wait, it sounds like that is what she was trying to convey to Marshall. That she is the all knowing all seeing god on earth.
Nancy is frustrated people like me won’t accept her libtard corruption
Populism = We The People
putrid pelosi speaking condescendingly in her
typical grotesque manner.
Nancy Pelosi forced the commandeer of military logistics in all of Europe to appear before her in the house. His travel and methods of communication were compromised after that. She went after that project (woman owned small business contract) and ended my aerospace career forever.
She expected him to use a web sling seat in his travels.
I wonder how she got there. I’m betting it wasn’t in the back of a C-130 in a web sling seat or commercial like us Kulaks.
It’s way past time this compromised traitor got hers.
Conservatives are happier than liberals.
Why would happy people want to become unhappy?
