Pelosi: Trump playing the ‘joker’s card’

Greg Nash

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is dismissing claims from Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump that Hillary Clinton is playing the “woman card” to get votes in the presidential race. 

“I don’t know what card he’s playing — the joker’s card. That doesn’t even count in a deck of cards,” Pelosi said Friday, according to The Associated Press. She said Clinton is playing the “experience card.” 

{mosads}Pelosi, who became the first womanto be Speaker in 2007, said the prospect of a female president is a “wonderful, glorious thing” but candidates should talk about capabilities rather than gender. 

Trump in his victory speech Tuesday had said Clinton is only doing well in the Democratic primaries because of her gender. 

He escalated those attacks Thursday in an interview with the Today show, saying “without the woman’s card, Hillary would not even be a viable person to even run for city council positions.”

“I think the only thing she has going for her is the fact that she’s a woman,” Trump said. “She has done a terrible job in so many ways.”
