House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) lost her “real people” during a protest in front of the Supreme Court building on Monday evening.

Pelosi turned the podium over to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), who spoke and held a small candle before Pelosi wanted to introduce and bring in some “real people.”

Pelosi spoke some more before mentioning two people who would tell “their courageous stories.”
