Yeah I almost used her as an example but I didn’t want to deal with the inevitable “it’s so she isn’t confused with her husband.
I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.
Now I'm not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate's name.
I do see a lot of republicans just call her “Nancy” but she definitely gets more references to her last name
Huh, I haven't really heard people call her "Nancy". Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was "Pelosi" with a reference to the attack on her husband.
Trump called her Nancy a lot IIRC
I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.
