Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to accept any responsibility for House Democrats losing congressional seats in the November election as a result of lackluster down-ballot performance in key races. In fact, when asked by a reporter whether she would accept responsibility for the losses, she took the exact opposite stance.
“I take credit for winning a majority and holding the House,” said Pelosi, who also stopped herself mid-word from saying she took “responsibility” instead of “credit,” presumably for the down-ballot races that Congressional Democrats did manage to win.
