House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 'I do reject socialism as a economic system. If people have that view, that's their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party.'

Her comments came during an interview with CBS' Lesley Stahl on"60 Minutes" in which Stahl asked Pelosi, a California Democrat, about members of her party supporting Medicare for All, a health care proposal Republicans have been using as an example of how the party is moving more to the left. "And it is allowing to say you're all socialists," Stahl said.
