Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed former President Donald Trump calling him a "thug" and accused him of morphing the Republican Party into a "cult," during a recent episode of the podcast, "The Rest is Politics."
In the hour-long discussion with hosts Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell, Pelosi talked about the GOP's ethical trajectory under Trump's leadership and the current political landscape, including the upcoming electoral clash between President Joe Biden and the former president.
"It shouldn't be a call to a thug; this should be the Republican Party, not some personality cult centered around one man," Pelosi said during the podcast which aired on May 6.
The veteran California congresswoman's criticism also extended to Trump's appeal, which she characterized as rooted in ethno-nationalist populism. Pelosi noted that this development is "fairly recent" and criticized Trump for exploiting people's fears. "As I said, there are people with legitimate concerns about globalization, immigration... and Trump exploits these to his advantage, benefiting the wealthy."
