Video shows Pelosi singing at Crowley goodbye party

A video published Thursday by Gateway Pundit shows House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) singing with other Democrats at a bar in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening during a going-away party for Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.).

The video shows Pelosi joining in with Crowley as he plays the guitar and singing “American Pie.”

Gateway Pundit is a right-wing news site.

Crowley is leaving Congress in early January. He lost his primary race in June to Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

{mosads}The video was the lead item as of Thursday morning on the Drudge Report, which suggested that Pelosi was celebrating President Trump’s decision to back off his demand that a government funding bill this week include $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The House is slated to vote Thursday morning on a stopgap funding bill that would avert a government shutdown this weekend, despite criticism of the measure from conservatives who point out that it fails to provide the funding for Trump’s border wall.

The Senate passed the spending bill on Wednesday evening.
