I didn’t realise she was 80- I hope I have her drive and energy when I reach 80 years old- I cant imagine I’ll be wanting to impeach presidents by then- potter in my garden maybe. She’s so dignified and inspiring.

Aibu to think she’s cool?

An inspiration; so much energy and passion. Even those who aren't politically simpatico surely have to admire that.

Breakthesilence12 · 15/01/2021 17:07

I just watched a press conference with her and she was really emotional about impeaching Trump- amazing

And when you think about the numbers of women in politics when she started, she's done so much for female representation

Nancy Peloso is going to be speaking to reporters soon:

(11.30am Washington time).

BBCONEANDTWO · 15/01/2021 17:11

Sorry Pelosi.

AfterSchoolWorry · 15/01/2021 17:12

I thought she was in her fifties! I'm shocked!

I'm loving her and her emotion only adds to her dignity, which is unusual.

Brave woman with a backbone of steel.

NurseButtercup · 15/01/2021 17:16

She's a total inspiration.
Thank god for women like her.
I hope the secret services keep her safe.

I'm completely baffled by the rationale of the GOP to continue to support Trump.

NurseButtercup · 15/01/2021 17:17

I definitely not planning to be working when I'm in my 80's, but I hope I'm as physically and mentally well as she is.

Breakthesilence12 · 15/01/2021 17:31

@AfterSchoolWorry I know- I thought she was 60’s- incredible woman!

She's fantastic. If you Google, you can find a photo of her as a teenager with JFK. It blows my mind that they met!

NotCornflakes · 15/01/2021 17:35

Sorry, she was 20, not a teenager!

@NotCornflakes wow, great photos! Even more in awe of her now, especially in the Trump era of such misogyny

80!?
Goodness me. Yes, she's great and I like her dress sense, esp her necklace ( misses the point)

VodselForDinner · 15/01/2021 17:41

I love her.

Love the fact that her dress and necklace for the impeachment hearing this week were the same ones she wore for the 2019 impeachment hearing.

londongirl12 · 15/01/2021 17:43

I'm always shocked Pru Leith is 80. Just shows you're as young as you feel!!

SacreBleeeurgh · 15/01/2021 17:43

SHE’S 80?!?!?? Good Lord. What an incredible woman. Both her and RBG, rest her soul.

Butteredtoast55 · 15/01/2021 17:46

80???? My mind is officially blown!

Breakthesilence12 · 16/01/2021 07:16

@Butteredtoast55 @SacreBleeeurgh I know right?! It blew my mind too!!!

Lex345 · 16/01/2021 07:24

Wow, I can't believe she is 80 either! She has been exceptional this past week and I am sure will have been a significant factor in the 10 republicans crossing party lines to vote to impeach. America needs more people of integrity like Pelosi in politics

Tinkerbell456 · 16/01/2021 07:27

Wow- I’m slightly conservative politically, but my hat is off. What a vibrant, impressive woman for 80 years old. Amazing! I would have thought early 60’s tops.

OojamaflipAndThingamajig · 16/01/2021 07:29

She is incredible, a real inspiration, age is certainly just a number with Nancy.
Plus the way Nancy and many others continued on with certifying the election results after the Capitol was stormed by that vile mob was incredible.

noideabutstilltrying · 16/01/2021 07:35

I read the link, she's done so much after raising 5 children!!!!!

Hope I look half as good at 80 and have that kind of energy on no coffee!

isitfridayyet1 · 16/01/2021 08:03

Yes she really is amazing! It really just take a lot of drive to continue in politics especially against people like trump.

HandleTheJandal · 16/01/2021 08:13

Yanbu. She is my new role model.

LickEmbysmiling · 16/01/2021 08:15

Yes amazing, continued work is probably one huge reason why she is still amazing.
Not interacting etc does cause decline.
