This is a neutral definition of Nancy Pelosi. It tells people more actual information than a rant from someone who supports or opposes her.

A Liberal Representative from California that became Speaker of the House in 2007. When Republicans took control of the house is 2010 she lost the position of Speaker and continues to be the minority leader. She is very progressive and is disliked by American conservatives and applauded by American liberals.
Nancy Pelosi is pro choice.

"Right after the 2006 mid-term elections, Nielsen conducted a poll where they discovered that 70 percent of House Republicans like to do it with the woman on top--or, as they now call it, 'Pelosi Style.'"

Circumventing common-sense protective measures or laws, such as when Nancy Pelosi violated San Francisco ordinance by ordering her hair stylist to cut her hair indoors and without her wearing a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pelosi Clapback
Applause given to appease someone who does not deserve it, but whose ego desperately needs it. A “Pelosi clapback” can be clearly seen the night of the 2/5/19 POTUS State of the Union address in response to the POTUS suggesting bipartisan cooperation and not realizing the irony. A Pelosi Clapback can be rather sarcastic and very humorous.
