Last night, Rep. Nancy Pelosi appeared on All In With Chris Hayes, and urged Republican voters across the country to assert control over their party and dump the extremists -- and Trump. Via Yahoo News:

“Take back your party, the Grand Old Party, a great party that made such a contribution to our country,” the former House speaker said on MSNBC on Tuesday evening. “Who am I to be advocating for a strong Republican Party? But it’s what our country needs, in addition to a strong Democratic Party.”

Then she summed up what’s become of the GOP under Trump, calling it “a cult to really, effectively, a thug.”

Pelosi called on Republicans to embrace their true conservative selves and reject the “fringe element,” which toppled Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the speaker’s office and has left the House without a leader for three weeks.

“They don’t believe in governance ― understand that,” she said. “So this, for them, is not any break in the action. They don’t want any action. This is it.”
