Pelosi Heckled at Town Hall: ‘How Much Are You Worth, Nancy?’
20th February 2018
Nancy Pelosi was heckled by a town hall attendee in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday.
“These are kitchen table issues for America’s families,” the House Minority Leader stated while voicing her opposition to the tax cuts signed into law by President Trump. “Most people are not in deadening poverty, but some are. Most people have to struggle to make ends meet.”
“How much are you worth, Nancy?” a woman yelled over Pelosi’s screed.
“No, we’re not talking about that,” Pelosi shot back. “I’m a mother of five, I can speak louder than anybody.”
So her first impulse is to shout down the person questioning her. Good to know. I guess her definition of town hall meeting is ‘I speak, you shut up and listen’.
It should be noted that Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of Congress and the wealthiest female member.
She and her husband have a combined net worth in excess of $100 million.
I see no evidence that she agrees with Bill Gates that she ought to be paying higher taxes. Maybe the money is all in her husband’s name.
