MSNBC's Mitchell Mourns 'Painful' End of Nancy Pelosi's 'Historic' Speakership
During her 1PM ET hour show on MSNBC on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell sympathized with exiting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, remarking that the California Democrat having to hand over the gavel to John Boehner in January has “got to be painful,” but that Pelosi is “doing it with class.”
Mitchell made the comments after talking to Politico’s congressional bureau chief Martin Kady about a recent interview Pelosi conducted with the political website. Mitchell cited excerpts: “Pelosi says quote, I’m obviously devastated by the loss we had; but she also says she feels serene and is already working on getting Democrats to win back the House, a tall order.” Kady portrayed Pelosi as defiant: “I mean shes really still promoting the accomplishments of the Democratic congress, even the accomplishments that some believe, you know, may have cost her some seats in this House.”
