YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the former House speaker, said it was a “smart decision” for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to resign from Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations.
“Oh, I think that was his decision,” she said at George Washington University, without answering whether she recommended that he step down.
“That’s the right thing to do, yes. Not to subject members to have to take a vote on something like that, and not to subject your family,” she said, referring to a looming vote to remove him from the chamber, noting that only five House members have ever been expelled in U.S. history.
“If you have a challenge that you have to address, it’s best addressed not as a candidate for governor and not as a member of Congress.”
Rep. Pelosi also said it was “absolutely not true” that Democrats had turned a blind eye to Rep. Swalwell’s behavior, saying she had no prior knowledge of any accusations.
“I had none whatsoever,” she said.
