Former Speaker of the House and Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi of California still believes she is relevant, that her comments mean something. Since her retirement announcement, that relevance has steadily faded, but she hasn’t realized it.
In a recent CNN interview, she described President Trump as “a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth.” She later defended the comments on the grounds that the president had no respect for the Constitution of the United States, as though she or any Democrats do.
Her comments, although vile, are old, repetitive, and boring. No one who has been paying attention to politics for a while would even be phased by her statement.
She was offered a chance to correct her comments on a recent interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper.
“One of the things you said recently in an interview, you said that President Trump was a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth,” Cooper said. “Do you think he‘s different now than he was in his first term in terms of his abilities, his leadership?”
“By the way, I said that as a euphemism,” Pelosi said, laughing. “I could have done much worse.”
“Are there other adjectives you’d rather use?” Cooper asked.
“No, no, I want to talk about my House, the House Democrats, and how we‘re going to win what‘s there,” Pelosi responded.
Cooper: "You said recently that President Trump is a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth."

She claimed she could do worse, but so far, there’s no evidence. Pelosi, like many establishment Democrats, is a dying breed, outpaced by her party’s progressive wing and overshadowed by the Trump administration. Not a single Democratic comment has matched the punch of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, let alone President Trump.
Pelosi's comments won't even faze the Democrats, who no longer look to Pelosi as a leader. Their eyes are turned towards the socialists, the progressives, the pro-Hamas wing of their party. The people who are actually making a splash in politics and a real threat to the well-being of the country.
Name-calling is yesterday’s politics. Today, the real threats come from those who openly support terrorism, weaponize government power against their own citizens, and reject reality itself. It’s no longer about insults; for Democrats, it’s about endorsing chaos, undermining institutions, and putting the country in real danger.
Pelosi’s words land with all the weight of yesterday’s news, quiet, repetitive, and ultimately irrelevant. The party she once led has moved on without her, chasing new voices and sharper edges, leaving her commentary to echo in an empty room. And yet it hasn't stopped her from trying.
