Nancy Pelosi: 'I Don't Think That Highly' Of Congressman Who Invited Ted Nugent

HuffPost's Sam Stein reports that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had some sharp words for Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who chose to invite controversial rocker Ted Nugent to the State of the Union:


"I am more concerned about Steve Stockman being here than Ted Nugent," she said. "Ted Nugent will leave. Steve Stockman will still be here."

Nugent has made a series of incendiary statements directed at President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others, going so far as to threaten the president's life. But the decision to invite Nugent, more than anything else, reflects poorly on Stockman, Pelosi said.

"I don’t think that highly of him at all," she said of the congressman. "He invited a guest. He has the right to do that. If a liberal had ever invited somebody to a State of the Union who had made the statements Ted Nugent made about cutting off our heads, and that he'd be 'dead or in jail' if the president got elected -- if a liberal or a progressive had ever invited somebody who had made those kind of comments to the State of the Union, can you just imagine? Can you just imagine?"

"He has the right to invite the person and that is a statement about himself as much as it is about his guest," she added.
