Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied that she had promised to support her fellow Californian Rep. Kevin McCarthy as he faced a vote to oust him as speaker.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Friday denied that she had promised to support her fellow Californian Rep. Kevin McCarthy as he was ousted as speaker. 'Kevin McCarthy says that you essentially broke a promise to him to keep Democrats with him if there was a vote against him. Is that not true?' FOX 11 Los Angeles anchor Elex Michaelson asked Pelosi in a recent interview. Shaking her head, Pelosi said she had never promised to help McCarthy, R-Calif., remain as speaker.
NANCY PELOSI EVICTED FROM HER PRIVATE OFFICE IN THE CAPITOL BY INTERIM HOUSE SPEAKER 'If you don’t respect the institution then don’t expect us to bail you out,' she said. McCarthy has since said he will not run for speaker again. On Friday, he denied reports that he will resign from Congress, saying, 'I'm not resigning. I got a lot more work to do.' McCarthy was succeeded by Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.
