House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) believes Republicans should not be in the majority in Congress “ever.”
During a press conference on Thursday, CNN’s Manu Raju asked Pelosi if she was concerned that Republicans might “retaliate” against Democrats for a “perceived” or “serious offense” after the House voted to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.).
“Is the inference that I draw from your question that we should have not censured Mr. Gosar for his shameful behavior for fear of something the Republicans might do in the unlikely case that they might win the Congress?” Pelosi asked.
She continued, “Even if they do, I don’t expect that’s the case, and I’m doing everything in my power to make sure it isn’t. Not just because of Gosar but because of our democracy which they are undermining every single day. And you see their behavior on the floor says they shouldn’t have a gavel be anywhere near them ever.”

The exchange comes after the House voted largely along party lines to censure Gosar following his decision to share a controversial anime video depicting him attacking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
