Hypocrite.

Via Politico:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared behind closed doors at Washington’s Mandarin Oriental hotel to thank major donors for their recent efforts on behalf of liberal and Democratic causes — and ask them not to stop.

Despite the results of last week’s midterm elections – a blow-out win for Republicans – Pelosi praised the Democracy Alliance club of wealthy donors for helping shape the political landscape. She specifically mentioned the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act, as well as the 2020 redrawing of congressional district boundaries, in imploring donors to continue supporting efforts to mobilize Democratic voters, according to a source present at the speech. […]

fterwards, POLITICO asked Pelosi about the irony of major donors meeting behind closed doors to discuss ways to rid the political process of secretive big money spending of the sort many Democracy Alliance members have engaged in.

“Well, I think that, for the moment, it will take money to win the election to get people there who believe in taking the money out,” she said, stopping to hug Democracy Alliance donor Wayne Jordan, a real estate developer from her hometown of San Francisco.
