Republicans referenced Pelosi’s past impeachment stance when defending their vote to investigate President Biden.
Pelosi clashed with MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell over the idea of impeaching Biden, emphasizing the administration’s economic accomplishments.

“Nancy Pelosi, you are complicit in the Israeli crime of genocide!” one protester yelled.
“I’m an Iraqi refugee and I watch your government you represent kill a million of my people! You killed 70,000 Afghans, and now over 30,000 Palestinians have died due to your complicity! We demand an end to the Zionist occupation of Palestine! We demand an end to the 17-year-long brutal siege of Gaza to be lifted! We demand an end! End the occupation now!” she said.
“I’m a Jewish person, I have ancestors who died in the Holocaust, I was always taught never again for anyone,” another protestor said.
“I want to be loud and clear, it is not anti-Semitic to fight for a free Palestine, to speak out against the multiple genocides that are happening,” they added.
“How do you feel about the push by the House Republicans—many of them—the Speaker certainly, you know, certainly flirted with this idea of impeachment proceedings against President Biden because of unfounded allegations that he was involved with his son Hunter’s businesses?” Mitchell asked.
“Well, let’s just…” Pelosi began.
“As you well know, you were very cautious about starting impeachment proceedings for the very reason that once you start in a special committee or the judiciary committee, it’s very hard to stop that process,” Mitchell said.
“With all due respect to your question, this is frivolous; this is a diversionary tactic,” Pelosi said.
“They just can’t stand the fact we have a job report of over nearly 200,000 jobs today, that unemployment is three-and-a-half percent, that 18 straight months of unemployment are under 4 percent.”
“We’re talking about 13.4 million jobs created with Joe Biden in the White House and working with the Congressional Democrats,” she added.
