U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had cordial words to say about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Appearing on CNN on Nov. 6, Greene, 51, addressed the announcement that Pelosi, 85, would not seek reelection after nearly four decades in Congress. The Republican from Georgia criticized the liberal stalwart's involvement in U.S. politics, noting she is a proponent of term limits.
But Greene later praised the Democratic congresswoman from San Francisco, saying Pelosi had "an incredible career for her party."
"I served under her speakership in my first term of Congress, and I’m very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our (Republican) party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party," Greene continued. "So I wish her well in her retirement, but I would like to see people exit Washington a lot sooner rather than wait until their eighties."
During her appearance on "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," Greene denounced the country's partisanship, saying she's "tired of the toxic nature of politics here in Washington, but also across the country. Families have been torn apart. People have gotten divorced, it separates parents from children. So I'm trying to lead by example."
