'It's their judgment, but it's a missed opportunity for America,' the former House speaker said of the current GOP.
Speaking to MSBNC's Morning Joe on Wednesday, Pelosi paraphrased Abraham Lincoln's famous quote that"public sentiment is everything" as she argued that the GOP needed to reevaluate its current state for the sake of the American people.
McCarthy's speakership, which began just a month ago, is off to a shaky start. His election took a humiliating 15 votes over the course of four days—the longest speaker vote since before the Civil War—and came at the expense of concessions the California Republican made with some of his most right-wing members.
"The problem they offer our country is greater than [the speaker vote]," she said."That's indicative of it. We need to have clarity about what the argument is about. The public has to understand this is what the choices are."
