House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi dodged a question about Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness during an interview with MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts.
A new Quinnipiac poll showed that most Americans do not trust Hillary Clinton. Fifty-three percent of respondents said that Clinton is not honest and trustworthy.
Roberts asked Pelosi if Clinton could win when most Americans don’t trust her.
"Can you be a successful candidate, Leader Pelosi, if you don't have the people's trust?"
Pelosi dodged the question.
"Apparently in that poll they have other questions about whether she would be a good leader and that's a high number for her. Does she care about people like me? That's a high number for her. I think that some of these numbers are affected by some of the anti-things being said against her," Pelosi said.
Pelosi continued to avoid a direct answer.
"She's going to be--we have to have an election, as you know, from Maryland we have Martin O'Malley putting his name forth. We have Bernie Sanders putting his name forth. Who else, I don't know. I think it's healthy to have a debate. It's clear that right now Hillary Clinton is way out in front and there's a great deal excitement about having a woman president who is as capable as she is."
