(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she "wouldn't use" Rep. Rashida Tlaib's salty comments about impeaching President Donald Trump, but she also downplayed the episode and noted it was "nothing worse than the President has said." Pelosi's comments in an NBC News event Friday underscored how impeachment will continue to be a charged issue for House Democrats as they take control of Congress and weigh whether to pursue the matter. "I probably have a generational reaction to it," Pelosi told NBC News in reaction to Tlaib's comments. "I'm not in the censorship business. I don't like that language, I wouldn't use that language, but I wouldn't establish language standards for my colleagues."
