House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi joked on Thursday that “five white guys” were leading talks on immigration reform — in a quip that went over like a lead balloon with her own top deputy.

“The five white guys, I called them, you know,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said her in weekly press briefing, drawing uncomfortable, forced laughs from the gallery.

Pelosi then tried to tie the zinger to popular East Coast burger chain Five Guys: “Are they going to open a hamburger stand next or what?”

One of those white guys in the immigration talks is Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who didn’t find any humor in Pelosi’s cracks. Hoyer said he’s dedicated to protecting “Dreamers,” young people brought to America by their undocumented-immigrant parents.

“The comment is offensive. I am committed to ensuring DREAMers are protected and I will welcome anyone to the table who wants to get this done,” Hoyer said in a statement to Politico.

Pelosi’s comments were targeted at Hoyer, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and White House chief of staff John Kelly — who are all white men.
