„We’re going to have so many women, and that’s why the Republicans are so afraid, and that’s why President Trump is so afraid.“
According to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic party is filled with women and minority groups, which terrifies President Donald Trump.
Pelosi made bold claims during an interview with KQED’s Scott Shafer. During the interview, Shafer asked Pelosi if she believed 2018 was the “year of the woman,” and the politician took the opportunity to express anti-Republican statements.
“It is,” Pelosi said. “We’re going to have so many women, and that’s why the Republicans are so afraid, and that’s why President Trump is so afraid.”
Pelosi seems to share similar opinions with other politicians who believe Trump is a against certain groups of people, even after multiple statistics show record-low unemployment rates for minorities.
“He’s afraid of all the women, people of color, LGBTQ numbers that will be added to the ranks in the Democratic Party, which is already a majority of women and people of color and LGBTQ,” Pelosi said. „But it’s going to be larger numbers, and it frightens them.”
However, Trump has continually supported women and placed them in positions in power in his administration. He has also endorsed multiple women that are running in elections across the country.
Pelosi has chosen to ignore this, and instead pits the two parties against each other, claiming that the “fate of the nation as we know it” was at risk in the midterm elections.
“This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s about who we are as a country,” Pelosi said. “Ronald Reagan said the vital force of America’s preeminence in the world is every generation of newcomers coming to America. And when we fail to recognize that, we fail to be the preeminent country in the world.”
