‘Don’t Bother Me With a Question Like That’: Pelosi Snaps at Reporter About Serving Full Term

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks during a press conference on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, August 10 , 2022, in Washington.When US Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) became House speaker in 2019, she did so on a pledge to serve in the office for just two terms, or four years. Accordingly, after the midterm elections last month, the 82-year-old lawmaker said she’d step back from leadership in the coming term.Pelosi showed her temper on Thursday after a reporter asked her a question she found annoying: would the 82-year-old lawmaker commit to serving the full two-year term to which she was just elected?“What is this? What is this? Don’t bother me with a question like that,” Pelosi let fly. “Really, really, OK. I said what I’m gonna do. You know, those kinds of questions are such a waste of my time.”
