Pelosi read the paper, “oh, oh, yes, Jerry Nadler won.”

“We had two excellent candidates. Two fabulously excellent candidates. It was wonderful to see their presentations and their nominations,” she said, not mentioning the other finalist.

“But thank you for asking,” Pelosi told the reporter, “because I didn’t even know …”  MORE with video.
