House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) told a recent gathering of the Women’s Political Committee that the spirits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul spoke to her at the White House.



“My chair was getting crowded in," said Pelosi. "I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since."


"My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn’t figure out what it was, it was like this," she said.
"And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were," said Pelosi. "More than I named and I could hear them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone."


This was not the only time Pelosi has told this story. On June 6 of this year she told it during an event celebrating her 25 years of political service.


Pelosi has also told the story when speaking at colleges, including at Trinity Washington University’s
commencement on May 20, 2012. Pelosi's website contains a transcript of the tale as related in her 2005 commencement address at Goucher College in Baltimore.

Those aren't voices she hears, it's just the wind whistling thru her empty head

Prompted by other spirits?

Gin, vodks, whiskey, etc.?

Pelosi visited by spirits? I'd be surprised if it were otherwise. Deceiving spirits.

Smile Pelosi SWEARS that spirits visit her

She's not the only one making a claim like that in recent years.

Say WHAT?

Anthony and Stanton were staunchly pro-life so obviously she isn't listening very hard.

“Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!”

Feminist and suffragist Susan B. Anthony, The Revolution


“When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”

Feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Letter to Julia Ward Howe, October 16, 1873, recorded in Howe’s diary at Harvard University Library

That woman is just plain scary stupid. If I had a pet that started acting like her, I would have it put down.

I was just told that the CBC isn't a reliable and credible source for Canadian news.

But, someone linking to "dissentvoice.org" obviously must be completely credible???

I wish they'd take her away from us. Such a vile, evil lying beast that she is, I'd feel not a shred of sadness if her spirits took her from this world.
