Washington DC, Mar 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Speaker Nancy Pelosi was heckled when she was leaving after the final caucus meeting on the Health Care Bill. The protesters left no stone unturned in heckling her as she was crossing the street to the Capitol building. They yelled her name and also shouted ‘kill the bill’. While crossing the street she seemed a very authorative figure as she had a gavel in one hand whereas on the other hand it also seemed that she needed support, as she was holding onto Georgia’s Representative John Lewis.

Nancy Pelosi created history when she became the first female speaker of the House. She is also the first Californian, as well as the very first person of Italian-American lineage to hold the prestigious position as the Speaker of the House. She is also the second person in line of Presidential succession after the Vice President of the United States – Joe Biden.

This isn’t an isolated case of harassment by the ‘Tea Party’ members. Prior to heckling Nancy Pelosi, they had also let loose some brutal racial epithets on Members of the Congress. In another disgusting incident, they had also spat upon a Member of the Congress.
