Here's How Pelosi Is Fundraising Off Her Unhinged 'I Was Raised Catholic' Moment

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) became rather unhinged the other day when reporter James Rosen asked her if she hates President Donald Trump.

"I don’t hate anybody. And as a Catholic, I resent your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president. And I still pray for the president," she snapped. "And I pray for the president all the time, so don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”

The speaker is now using the exchange to fundraise. 

For $39 you too can get a "Don't Mess with Nancy" sweatshirt. 

Pelosi's team is taking a page from Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) playbook. She sold "Nevertheless, she persisted" t-shirts after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the so-called "filibuster" she was holding didn't qualify as a filibuster at all. The Senate tried to silence her but failed to do so, which is why McConnell said "Nevertheless, she persisted."

Feminists clung to the quote and used it across the board. So far it's looking like Nancy's wannabe feminist moment isn't going so well.
