Nancy Pelosi's role in pushing President Joe Biden out of the presidential race this year has reportedly led some Democrats to voice their displeasure — with pins.
Ahead of Biden's speech Monday night at the Democratic National Convention, the former Democratic House speaker tried to explain her reasoning in helping to usher him to step aside, saying she "took a punch for the children" on CNN.
When asked if she had any regrets about her role, she reportedly shot back at a reporter at the convention: "Why would you ask me that question? You know, I’m a very deliberate person."
Now, The Washington Post is reporting that some Democrats are wearing their displeasure on their sleeve — or, at least, their lapel.

They have sported a pin with Pelosi’s face that says “The Godmother," according to the Post. The pin is a reference to the iconic "Godfather" series, reportedly symbolizing that she masterminded the ouster behind the scenes — a notion Pelosi has denied.
Even so some Democrats, including some close to Biden and the Democratic National Committee, continue to be "bitterly upset with Pelosi" over her public calls for Biden to drop out, the Post reported. Some have even vowed to try to diminish her influence within the party.
“I have my relationship with the president, and I just wanted to win this election. So if they’re upset, I’m sorry for them, but the country is very happy,” Pelosi told the Post on Monday. “I don’t know who they are, but that’s their problem.”
