Watters questions, explores how Pelosi became so wealthy on a government salary
Fox News "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has served in Congress for nearly 34 years and presently presides in a top-tier position as one of the most powerful figures in the U.S. government. Amid a recent flurry of complicated decisions she's had to face as leader of her caucus, Fox News host Jesse Watters launched a "Watters' World" investigation into her financial dealings during her tenure in politics.
"Last week, the Speaker was unable to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill as progressives in her own party signaled their disapproval. Watters condemned her policies, saying they're making it "harder and harder for average Americans to accumulate wealth," shackling them with taxes and "destroying the dollar with reckless spending."
"The current salary of a Speaker of the House sits in the low six-figures, yet Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress.
"So what is her secret, asked Watters: "It appears to be her husband, Paul." . . .
Nancy Pelosi Rank: 6th in the House with an estimated net worth of $114,662,521 in 2018.
The Pelosi Palace (The photo accompanying this article is actually NOT Pelosi's home.) "Some liberals responded to the photo of Pelosi’s luxurious digs by noting that President Trump has MANY more and far larger residences.
"But there’s one HUGE problem with that comparison.
"Up until two years ago, Trump was a successful businessman, and had NEVER been a politician. All his wealth and the houses it has bought came from the success of his businesses.
"Pelosi, by comparison, has been a lifelong politician. That means the money she uses to house herself so lavishly came from YOU – the American taxpayer.". . .
