(The Hill) — Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) mocked comedian Stephen Colbert as part of her campaign against super-PACs.
The House minority leader released a Web video on Thursday that jokingly attacks Colbert for launching a super-PAC. It’s part of the Dems’ push to reintroduce the Disclose Act.
“Stephen Colbert used to be my friend,” Pelosi says in a voice-over. “But since the day he started his super-PAC, taking secret money from special interests, he’s been out of control. Even using his super-PAC to attack my friend Newt Gingrich,” a reference to climate-change ad that featured her and Gingrich.
The images show her signing Colbert’s cast and photos of the two of them together.
