Pelosi Labels Trump ‘Vile Creature’ in CNN Clip as California’s Prop 50 Fight Intensifies

The comments arrived during California’s Prop 50 vote on mid‑decade redistricting central to the battle for control of the U.S. House.

Vice President Mike Pence claps as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appears to rip a copy of President Donald Trumps speech after he delivers the State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on February 4, 2020.

Overview

  • In a CNN interview preview, Rep. Nancy Pelosi called President Trump “a vile creature” and “the worst thing on the face of the Earth,” a clip that quickly circulated on X.
  • Pelosi justified her characterization by alleging Trump disregards the Constitution, turned the Supreme Court into a “rogue court,” “abolished” the House, chilled the press, and frightened lawful immigrants.
  • Conservative reaction was swift, including a scathing post from the White House Rapid Response account, while some Democrats such as Sen. John Fetterman criticized Pelosi’s phrasing as inappropriate.
  • Pelosi tied her remarks to California’s Proposition 50, a measure to let the legislature bypass the state’s independent redistricting commission, which supporters frame as a response to GOP mid‑decade map redraws and critics call a partisan power grab.
  • Pressed on her future, Pelosi declined to discuss 2026 plans as her office said she is focused on Prop 50, with multiple outlets reporting she may address reelection decisions after the special election.
