Nancy Pelosi tried to distance Democrats from the Occupy Wall Street movement in a recent interview broadcast on C-SPAN. “As opposed to the tea party, which was practically a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party, [Democrats] don’t really have much of a connection with the Occupy,” she said.
Maybe this has something to do with Pelosi’s newfound tepidity.
In any case, Pelosi was a tad more laudatory of Occupy Wall Street last fall: God bless them, every one.
