Pelosi Cites “Children” as Motivation
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed her reason for entering politics:
“My whole mission in politics is about the children,” she told Jen Psaki on MSNBC.
Public Backlash
Her statement drew immediate ridicule on X.
Users mocked her wealth, with comments like, “Her bank account would beg to differ,” and
“Nancy Pelosi says her political mission is ‘about the children’ — so that’s why her stock portfolio’s better than Warren Buffett’s?”
A Familiar Refrain
Pelosi has repeatedly used “for the children” in speeches and online posts.
In June 2022, she said, “building a future where every child can reach his or her fulfillment, free from the fear of gun violence,” and she continues to highlight education and safety as central themes.
Mixed Interpretations
Some see her repeated references as sincere, while others question whether it’s political strategy to justify policies. The debate over her true motives continues.
