CA-11: Pelosi Finally Says What She Thinks About Chakrabarti and Wiener In Race to Succeed Her [View all]

Pelosi tells Shafer that she's never met Chakrabarti, and that basically he's a carpetbagger........

"I’ve never seen him at a homeless shelter, or a food bank, or an an immigration center. I've never seen him in the community," Pelosi adds.

When Shafer turns to Wiener, who is leading in the polls to succeed Pelosi, she sounds clearly pissed off that this is the case.

"Are you part of their campaign?" she snipes at Shafer after he offers some praise of Wiener's legislative record. And, she adds, regarding the Chronicle's endorsement of him, "You sound like the SF Chronicle, which is totally irrelevant, along with the Examiner. Nobody cares about endorsements from the newspapers."
