PELOSI: "Every time I get introduced as the most powerful woman, I almost cry because..."

At her weekly press conference, House speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed disappointment that the presidential primary has narrowed to two men.

“Every time I get introduced as the most powerful woman, I almost cry because I wish that were not true,” Pelosi said. “I still wish that we had a woman president of the United States.”

Pelosi said she believed there was “an element of misogyny” to the hurdles that women candidates face in politics.

The speaker also dismissed the idea that Democratic voters were worried a woman candidate could not beat Trump

“I think anyone can beat President Trump,” Pelosi said.

8. I don't think that she could be disputed on that.

I would love to see her as the Chief Executive, 'cause she could snatch some knots in some gray haired old men's asses. In my mind I can hear President Pelosi yelling, "McConnell, sit down and shut the fuck up!"
