Pelosi Calls Trump 'Vile Creature,' 'Worst Thing'

In a CNN interview with Elex Michaelson, Rep. Nancy Pelosi called President Donald Trump 'a vile creature' and 'the worst thing on the face of the Earth,' accusing him of not honoring the Constitution, turning the Supreme Court into a 'rogue court,' 'abolishing the House,' and chilling the press. Her remarks came ahead of California's Proposition 50 vote, which she and other Democrats support as a response to GOP mid‑decade redistricting and which she said will factor into any decision about seeking another term; her communications director emphasized her focus on the ballot measure. Critics said the House's prolonged recess during the government shutdown benefits Trump politically, including by delaying potential actions that could force release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The exchange underscores the ongoing bitter rhetoric between Pelosi and Trump.
