Nancy Pelosi's daughter: 'She'll cut your head off and you won't even know you're bleeding'
Alexandra Pelosi didn't want to discuss her mother on CNN's New Day on Wednesday. But when she did, her speakership endorsement for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was very, very vivid.
As Democrats assume the House majority in the new year, CNN's John Berman wanted to know how the presumptive incoming speaker handles meetings with President Trump. Alexandra Pelosi wouldn't answer at first, but eventually shared a blunt response: "She'll cut your head off and you won't even know you're bleeding. That's all you need to know about her."
