Pelosi: Electing First Woman President ‘Would Send a Message to the World’

‘I think the presidency of course is so far beyond that, it would send a message to the world’

MITCHELL: “How important is it to you to have a woman be elected president and that person obviously would be Hillary Clinton?”
PELOSI: “Well, with all respect for all the candidates, I’m a big fan of Martin O’Malley being from Maryland myself originally, Bernie Sanders, my former colleague, that's a great messenger for economic fairness and justice, and of course, Hillary Clinton respecting all three of them, I think if we were to let a woman president of the United States, I can only speak for my own experience when I was elected VIP and then leader and then speaker, the response I got from all over the country, and from fathers of daughters saying thank you for breaking the marble ceiling, now my daughter has much more opportunity. I think the presidency of course is so far beyond that, it would send a message to the world.”
