House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tried to brush off questions about Planned Parenthood funding during her Thursday press briefing. But when a male reporter continued by asking her “what species” a human fetus is, Pelosi decided to acknowledge his grandstanding.
“I don’t know who you are, and you’re welcome to be here, freedom of this press. I am a devout, practicing Catholic, a mother of five children,” Pelosi said. “When my baby was born — my fifth child — my oldest child was 6 years old. I think I know more about this subject than you, with all due respect. And I do not intend to respond to your questions, which have no basis in what public policy is that we do here.”
