In yet another unhinged outburst from one of Washington’s most bitter career politicians, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–Calif.) went on CNN this week to call President Donald Trump a “vile creature” and “the worst thing on the face of the Earth.”
Yes — the woman who presided over two failed impeachments, enriched her family through insider stock trades, and spent decades wielding power for personal gain now thinks she’s qualified to judge moral character.
“He’s just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth,” Pelosi told interviewer Elex Michaelson. When pressed to clarify whether she truly meant that, Pelosi doubled down: “I do, yeah. I do.”
Her venomous comments came as California voters consider Proposition 50 — a controversial ballot measure that would radically reshape the state’s congressional districts in a way many critics call an outright Democrat power grab. The measure could have major implications for next year’s fight for control of the U.S. House, and Pelosi has been one of its loudest cheerleaders.
Of course, Pelosi didn’t defend the proposal with logic or fairness. Instead, she pivoted to her favorite boogeyman: Donald Trump. Michaelson pointed out that Pelosi has described the proposition as a way to “push back against Trump,” and she wasted no time turning the conversation into another anti-Trump tirade.
“Because he’s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution,” Pelosi ranted. “He’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He’s abolished the House of Representatives. He’s chilled the press. He’s scared people who are in our country legally.”
It was a laundry list of baseless claims — the kind of overwrought rhetoric that has become Pelosi’s calling card since losing her grip on power. The irony, of course, is that it’s Pelosi’s own party that’s spent years undermining the Constitution through lawfare, censorship, and weaponization of federal agencies.
While she refused to say whether she’ll seek re-election, Pelosi made sure to stroke her own ego: “I have no doubt that if I decided to run, I would win. That isn’t even a question. It isn’t arrogant, it’s confident,” she said — a statement that perfectly captures her trademark mix of entitlement and delusion.
Pelosi also admitted that her sole focus is regaining control of the House, calling Trump’s movement “poison.” “My only reason I’m in Congress this term is to win the House for the Democrats, to protect us from the poison of the Trump administration,” she declared.
The irony here is striking. Pelosi, who claims to “protect democracy,” is openly campaigning for a gerrymandering scheme designed to eliminate fair representation in her own state. And in classic Democrat fashion, she’s masking it with moral outrage about Trump — the same man who restored American energy independence, rebuilt the economy, and strengthened border security.
Pelosi’s CNN appearance was less a political interview than a therapy session for a bitter establishment figure who simply can’t accept that the Trump-led populist movement has outlasted her career. Her obsession with the former president isn’t rooted in principle — it’s rooted in fear.
Because deep down, Nancy Pelosi knows what millions of Americans already do: Donald Trump isn’t the problem. He’s the reckoning for everything corrupt Washington represents — including her.
