Nancy Pelosi: Donald Trump Hasn't Said Anything That Republican Members Of Congress Haven't Said "Over And Over"

In an interview on CNN's 'New Day' on Friday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Donald Trump has not said anything that Republican members of Congress haven't said "over and over."





REP. NANCY PELOSI: There's nothing that Donald Trump has said, whether it is about birther, whether it is about immigrants, whether it is about Mexicans --as he said. Whether it is about Muslims, about women. None of the things he has said haven't been said over and over again by members of Congress on the Republican side.



Not all of them.



This issue, whether it is put to rest or not, the damage is done, in terms of him evoking a response from a certain element in our country.



CNN HOST: Don't you think that Republicans in Congress are following his lead?



PELOSI: No, I think he is following theirs.



I think that in Congress, if you look at the public record, on, for example, immigration, there are worse statements made by Republican members of Congress that they tried to implement into law, in terms of Muslims. Shocking language used by Republicans in Congress. He is a reflection of them...



He has pulled back the veil... What Donald Trump is saying is not shocking to us.
