WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was called out Friday by CBS News' Gayle King after referring to President Donald Trump and his allies as"henchmen," language that King said some found "egregious."
Pelosi has previously said Biden shouldn't debate the president, and said Friday she still agrees with that statement. King said that some people see Pelosi's language about the president and his administration as a problem. "Well, I don't care what he says about me," Pelosi responded. "Every knock from him is a boost for me. If he wants to help me raise money, he can keep knocking me."She also defended her language, saying that she's"speaking truth."
Really? What about how Trump talks
They are what she said they are. Sometimes, the truth hurts.
GayleKing Where's the lie?
This shit has gone far enough. We’re all sick of it. Your hate is stopping us from receiving the stimulus package we need...
The voters need to retire this senile excuse of a Speaker!
Read the room Gayle
They are
Ohhh 'henchmen' Ouch Such tough, vulgar language Mean ole Nancy Seriously, with everything going on, the topic is 'henchmen' ?
Nice blowout
HeMan!😊
It’s about time!
GayleKing HENCHMEN THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE
Calling a spade a spade...
Gayle thank you for recognizing that no matter which side you’re on language matters
Wrong again Gayle King.
But, they are. She should call it like she sees it.
'Henchmen' is rather polite. How about 'panderers', ' yes men', 'minions', ' sycophants', 'toadies', and 'goon squad',
Reporter scolds a one of highest ranking politicians in the nation..really? you guys are 🤡🤡🤡💯
GayleKing, EGREGIOUS is YOU calling out a fellow Dem for calling out Trump. SpeakerPelosi called a spade a spade. See the definition for 'henchman.' The MSM pussyfooted around the word liar in 2016. Look where that got us. Trump's henchmen & henchwomen are corrupt like Trump.
Guess she’s never heard trump call out Biden’s allies. Very disappointed in Gayle King on this one.
Gayle king is a wicked evil person and need to quit doing reporting because she’s not fair at all
The truth is bitter they let the GOP say whatever they want and u scold the Speaker of the House u kidding me what double standards
In 2016 HRC was right with deplorable and NP is right with henchmen.
thank you gayle for pointing out the obvious hate of the democrats
Pelosi is just a witch who continues to be irrelevant. Let her say what she wants. No one cares or listens.
GayleKing Stop bringing apple pie to a gun fight. Much as I love MichelleObama Republicans enjoy 'going low.' 'Going high' is laudable but totally ineffective against a gang of unscrupulous henchmen.
You say “henchmen“? Try the greatest threat ,on so many levels, the U.S. and the World ever encountered. A traitor and liar rules.
Barr personifies henchman! Gayle for the 2nd time in our nearly 250 year history, Our great democracy is at stake. Just about every governmental institution has been compromised and laid low and you think the dems should be more politically correct? Wrong answer!
To Gayle King: henchmen defined is ; a faithfil follower or political supporter, especially one prepared to engage in crime or dishonest practices by way of service. What is so shocking about that comment, which was quite accurate.
Absolutely accurate term. Look it up Gayle.
Pelosi youarethe most UnAmerican theiris you tearup legalconstitutionalpapers on the house flooryou don’t evenknow what the constitutionallaws are because you’ve been writing your own and living bythem you don’t live by the UnitedStates constitutional lawsuit youlive by your own
Oh please GayleKing.
Proud of GayleKing for this. You can’t criticize someone for acting a certain way while acting the same way SpeakerPelosi shows her true colors in her response. It’s all about the money for her. Thats a party leader not the leader of congress. She was/is a terrible speaker
Pelosi stated the facts quite clearly. If one acts like a mobster (aka:Trump), the people who work for you are “henchmen.” When one murders 203,907 people, he’s a tyrant. VoteHimOut2020
Exactly what it is , Barr , McConnell, His Administration...It is True
Hello! I'm Creative Designer Artist Work with me cheep prize
GayleKing needs to stop the hypocrisy and self- righteous bullcrap. I'm sick of Trump's consistent attack on Pelosi, immigrants, women, ..... I could go on forever. But GayleKing chooses THIS one word from Pelosi to make it look like she's a champion of the press.
If he call our black athletes son of bitches I agree with her, Ms King I believe you’re wrong!
Good for gayle king!
They are his “ henchmen “, same as Hitler had “ henchmen “....
My goodness is she going to talk about grabbing pussies next?
Trump can call her 'Nervous Nancy,' Biden a 'Socialist' or 'Marxist,' Clinton 'Corrupt Hillary,' etc, etc, but she can't call the aides of the head of an established kleptocracy 'henchmen'? Nice double standard there. When will I hear someone scold Trump for his name-calling?
Good for Nancy!
Gayle who?
I would’ve thought that a certain President took kiddy name calling to a new level already 🤷♂️😂😂😂
GayleKing seriously? egregious my ass.
Gayle King is off her rocker. Pelosi has it right. Our WH is full of lying thugs who don't give a damn if the people of our country live or die. Admonishing Pelosi for her words means King was being a judge. Not her job. Henchmen in the WH is not an obscenity. It's the truth.
Nancy must have been astonished to be called out for hate speech by a leftist ally.
Honestly f$& GayleKing
Gayle King must be under a rock somewhere.. oh right, she has..
Damn Gayle...
Don't be complacent...he's still going to try to get the absentee ballots rejected. Don't wait to mail them in. Better yet, hand carry then to your polling places, town halls or other authorized ballot box.
Pelosi has lost it!
I'm sorry what does Trump call Senator Warren? Rep. Omar? Rep. AOC? Please, Trump SET the bar.
I xall them minions- and that's a compliment.
Both sides are acting like spoiled reality TV show brats. It makes me doubt their intelligence and ability to comprehend public policy.
Gayle king sucks. Ask her and her bed buddy oprah to denounce Harvey Weinstein the way they did R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Michael Jackson.
ALERT! ALERT! We finally found one honest reporter...
Does Gayle call out Trump allies when they’ve used ‘egregious’ language?
Worthless. What is her value to the senate and people. She wants to put a term now on judges now how about starting first with the senate. Retire.
There are many other people out there with much harsher names for Trump and they all are true.
Gayle King looking for ratings with the deplorable have you forgotten they won’t tune in Your not their color
henchmen' is way too nice a word to call the gop party,traitors would be the word u are searching for,just go vote do not want to hear how low the gop party are,,we allready know that/.
They are THUGS
You mean the ones that keep getting indicted, convicted, and going to jail? Nope, ther term seems appropriate.
The truth shall set you free -
Lol had she heard our president speak the past 4 years?
When people do the bidding of some one else they are henchman ,nothing wrong with this word usage
This argument, and the comments that go with it on this thread, are more suited to the playground. MSM has consistently called out Trump on his antics. About time someone did the same for Pelosi. Fair is fair.
Nancy was actually fine this time. Problem is that she is a shaky old bitch who can’t relate to the public anymore. Time for the new young Dems!!!
GayleKing needs to get a new set of priorities. I guess she agrees with the “egregious” language Trump uses on a daily basis, which emboldens his supporters to verbally attack people who have to been brainwashed by their cult everyday. What an absolute disappointment she is.
I thought the headline read “reporter” . . .
If the shoe fits.
This unprecedented nastiness on both sides needs to stop. It’s disgraceful and degrading.
She should've said deplorables
Don’t stoop to TRUMP’s LOW Nancy !
We have a name calling disgraceful president....it’s time Democrat’s “Holla Back”!! It is about time !!
Pelosi is correct:
Fancy Nancy lying AGAIN.....the truth is Beijing Biden is INEPT to DEBATE for presidency PERIOD
Why doesn’t she call out trump for all the horrible things he says about everyone
America is witnessing the failure of its system of Government. The problem? Too many unsavory characters on board. That reporter cannot see that Trump has already engaged in 'Reckless Endangerment' of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. And that's a start.
Truth must hurt this reporter, because that is exactly what the Trump allies are in the real world.
Not surprise Gayle King.
It’s true . Screw that reporter . The truth hurts sometimes
It is what it is.
True
USA Today is a massive corporation. It’s no surprise it’s pro Trump
Gayle King talking like a Republican!
Trump doesn’t want to shake their “disgusting” hands. Name calling is never nice.
Why do journalists never call Trump out. Why are they afraid.
What a bunch of 'snowflakes'. What's the matter, the truth hurts? Stop following an insane person, then maybe people will stop calling the followers if T(urd)rump 'deplorable' 'henchmen' 'jerks' 'racist' 'fascist' 'garbage'.
What expect from sorry ass Gayle. Look at what she tried to do to Kobe.
She was wrong to call President Trump's supporters Henchmen. Same goes for the ones labeling those supporting Biden. Both parties have sinned and pointing fingers only shows how fragile people are everywhere at the moment. Let go of your pride and reach out to each other.
Why is GayleKing and Oprah always on the wrong side of things?! Why don’t you just shut the fuck up and report the news?! Stay out of politics because you’re terrible at it!
Lol
Ok how about NAZIS?
Thank you Gayle.
And Trump calls Mexicans rapist
Like gang initiated members, G King has to pay her dues
MSM giving Pelosi hell? Does the reporter still have her job?
Gayle King got this one wrong. Makes her look complicit with a dictator.
They are Henchmen
She should be gagged but will that mask do?
Gayle King just got out of trouble running her mouth coming against women a little while ago .Here she go again.
Gail is not a harbinger for protecting words implying racism. This is her being used as a tool to ignite scrutiny. She ain’t been qualified to speak for blacks never
To prevent the spread of the new crown virus, each of us should wear a mask. I suggest you consider the masks of ishopzone. Their masks are FDA certified and delivered in time (3-5 days in the US). You can search for ishopzone directly in Google
It is obvious Gayle King failed to look up the meaning of the word henchmen before criticizing Pelosi for using it to describe Trump’s associates and supporters. Gayle King embarrassed herself.
More Corporate cronies that Trump is.placing
Speaker Pelosi,continue to disgrace yourself. We're wiser now than ever.
I love Gayle King, but Pelosi used the correct terminology.
‘Henchmen is a proper word to describe the people around Trumpski! I don’t think Trumpski is disturbed!
Oh please give me a break. A madman is taking over our country and idiots are quibbling over what we call his allies. Pelosi is absolutely right. The media has played a large role in normalizing trump and his evil regime.
Speaker Pelosi look into yourself, where is the much needed Corona virus aid bill?! Your duty to help public, can’t even compromise and now just saying “egregious” language. All she knows and best to do is to play political games.
I agree with Gayle. I want to see this guy gone and generally support the Democrats, butThe other day she called McConnell “Moscow Mitch.” I was extremely annoyed by that. We cannot get into the mud and roll around with that asshole. No nicknames. Period.
Never did listen to Gayle King.
Trump lied to USA & must be accountable for having more than 204000 coronavirus patient’s deaths due to his late, slow,disastrous approach to the Pandemia!Trump is Still misleading people not encouraging wearing a mask!He must be impeached and go to jail for all deaths he caused!
Pelosi is right.
GayleKing may be one of the henchmen
Did not know Gayle King was a reporter.
Nothing is egregious compared what Trump calls people constantly
*Oprah’s best friend scolds Pelosi for calling Trump allies “henchmen.” Fixed it for you.
I wonder if anyone actually likes Nancy Pelosi?
Gayle sit on down
TrumpHenchmen
Shame on you, Gail. Potus calls women much worse. Pat Wingo, KY
WakeUpAmerica
Gayle King. Lightweight Sycophant.
Good for her!
Are you Kiding Me Gayle King with everything that Trump has said and done the Znsme calling and labeling you should be ashaned of your self I have never seen any article from you on Trump !! Sad , Very said !!!
What’s going on at cbs? So many longtime news reporters having left?
It’s pretty incredible the standard of which this woman needs to live by when the president assaults many daily.
She is evil
REALLY!! where has this reporter been every time trump opens his mouth.
Even with Trump’s rampant criminality, GOP cohorts still support him, so Boycott and VOTE to expel Trump / GOP organized crime. BidenHarris2020 Biden2020 — Read SethAbramson books and Twitter feed for extensive details on Trump/Russia/etc. organized crime.
Gayle needs to look up the meaning of 'henchmen.' SpeakerPelosi was on the mark.
WITCH
To coin a phrase “It is what it is”...🤷♂️🤷♂️
Pelosi is correct.
Same Gayle King who tried to drag Kobe before he was even buried? Ok.
So what.... 🥱
Kale King is annoying
Okay Gayle, now do Trump.
The hell with GayleKing
Gayle King is a reporter Ah....no.
She’s right
Not like she lied though
Gail King needs to get under wires in her bra (female version of “growing a pair“).
gayleking you’re seriously going to go there?! Have you hearted trump speak...
I would like to scold nancy too... I don't think she went far enough. She should have called them BOOT LICKING TOADIES!! You going to insult these people, do it right! Put some fire into it!
Gayle King, Oprah’s friend, who got her job because of Oprah? Shut the door!
Why is this a news story when there is literally millions of every other things so important to report on?!?
Why doesnt anyone call out Trump? Screw Gayle king
That woman needs to retire!!!
Oh come on gayle, people call you a reporter,? If not for ofra you would be passing french fries thru a drive thru window🤮
Gayle King needs to shut up! Nancy is telling it like it is!
GayleKing ...sit down and shut up...Adults are speaking...
Gayle is just a GOP plant.
Gale King should be fired.
They are, though
Gayle King needs to seriously get off the air. That’s what Trumps entire cabinet is and everyone knows it. Tired of their being a separate set of rules for republicans who spew crap everyday.
Pelosi is fighting fire with fire. She should not tone it back when it comes to Trump and who just makes things up to divide the country for his own good. vote
🙄🙄
Who gives a shit about Gayle King Pelosi was nice I call them AHoles
They are goddamn henchmen. They assisted in the murder of 210,000 Americans by sitting on their asses and not speaking up.
Wow, I wonder how much, if at all, he scolds Trump when he uses his degrading nicknames for people.
TRUMP SAYS WORSE THINGS ABOUT OTHERS ON A DAILY BASIS. WHY ARE YOU SCOLDING GAYLE? DO YOU SCOLD HIM EACH TIME HE IS RUDE, EGREGIOUS, DISRESPECTFUL? I DOUBT IT.
What's wrong with henchmen?
Why does the press always demand politeness from Dems, but R's can get away with being as crazy and mean as they want with no pushback?
I thought Hilary spoke 1st when she told Biden to not conceed. 🤔 And when Trump was asked about the transfer of power, did he not say we'd have to wait to see... (because if reelected, there is no transfer)? Hmmmm?!
Think about the language Trump uses in referring to his political enemies, and Pelosi shouldn't call Barr, McConnel, Putin et. al. 'henchmen?' Is it because the word is non-inclusive of women in Trump's regime? That's the only reason I could think King might be opposed.
Gayle,not being on Pelosi’s side but trump and his comrades call BLM terrorist , Mexicans criminals and treat women like chattel and you get perturbed because she called Republicans henchmen. WTF Gayle something wrong with you?
It’s mild compared to what they call her.
Tell it like it is...
That's Strike 2 for Gayle King. One more stupid comment and you're out!
This would be ok if she does the same to Trump.
Gale king is jerk
Oh, for Chrissakes! Trump calls us “very bad people” and practically invites his supporters to kill us, and CBS gets on Nancy Pelosi’s case for this? Trump is a criminal, and the people around Trump are henchmen. I’m good with that.
As the Board of Directors of the American Society of Henchmen we would like formally express our strong objections to Speaker Pelosi for comparing us to Trump supporters. We must state for the record, we adhere to much higher standards in terms of both ethics and hats.
True colors keep coming out ... gonna push more voters to Vote for realDonaldTrump
First class hag! How dare she question the presidents constitutional rights. She is corrupt, privileged and dishonest! Time for congressional Term Limits!!!
Exactly ... what are you gonna expect from these people
Called as she see them and see is not wrong. Go to bed gayle.
Gayle king is right this why so people are angry at Democrats
Dems don’t understand who is in control? The American People won the 2016 electoral college and will again in 2020. DJT works for US “We the People” no matter race or religion. K🇺🇸G!
Oh please...that’s exactly what they are GayleKing! Anyone not saying it in the media should resign! We’re sick of everyone in the media covering for this absolutely despicable group of people!
Finally someone calls her out for the B she is
Finally someone calling out their insanity —
Aka for speaking truth
Who cares ! Election2020 um 😐 again we are in a pandemic that hasn’t been addressed!! BidenHarris2020
Be careful voting... it’s REALLY dangerous
Pelosi is WORTHLESS ...
F Gayle King!!!
Pelosi = 老巫婆😂😂
they are henchman. trump has been involved in the ny and russian mobs for decades.
Thank you Gayle King. 🇺🇸
If gayle king has been consistent in her criticism of inflammatory language good for her. However, I don’t recall her critiquing the daily barrages out of the White House. If that’s the case, she’s doing the country a disservice.
Gayle how about calling out Trump for all the disrespectful comments and bullying he has encountered.
Gayle / so proud of yourself. But they are / henchmen
F GayleKing .
Gayle king all up in Nancy business, must be voting for Trump.
We will see if they are henchmen when they are dragging Gayle to the gulag.
Oh give me a break Karen...er...Gayle. Over half the country calls the fuckers much worse.
Gayle is out of line and needs to take her suggestions elsewhere
Gayle King is a nobody: void, vaccuum, ether. She's all about sugar coating anything that comes out of her mouth except when something offends her misplaced white girl sensibilities.
The WSJ referred to them as “fixers” and fixers is synonymous with henchmen so...
Gail always trying to push the envelope. Like the interview after Kobe passed. Shut up Gail. You’re irrelevant
'Reporter scolds Pelosi for calling Trump allies HENCHMEN' – Continued...
Skank.
Get over it. tRump has called people names on a daily basis, and far worse than what Nancy has ever spoken.
So, I guess Gayle King is canceled...
Nobody is failing America worse than the news media
Good it’s about time someone called SpeakerPelosi for her bull💩.

Cool, so Gayle King is voting Trump. Sounds about right.
TrumpStormTroopers? TrumpSecretPolice?
GayleKing is wrong. SpeakerPelosi is fighting for all of us! C’mon GayleKing get real!
She was being polite
That’s what they are. Call a spade a spade.
Ppppffftttt....no. Pelosi has more class than King can ever hope to attain.
Gail
In Trump’s case, she was merely stating the truth.
I think henchmen is polite
I’m not sure how this wasn’t investigated 🤷🏾♂️
