Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader hoping to reclaim the speaker's gavel after the midterms, over the weekend staunchly defended “San Francisco values” -- saying “that’s what we’re about.”At a fundraising event on Sunday, Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke to supporters and discussed her “vilification around the country” in recent weeks. Republicans often try to link the liberal San Francisco powerhouse to rank-and-file Democrats, but Pelosi made clear Sunday she's proud of her political profile and home city. “But when they say San Francisco liberal, as if to make it sound like it’s something negative, them’s fighting words. But San Francisco values, that’s what we’re about.”Pelosi went on to tout San Francisco, saying it is “the city of Saint Francis, the city whose anthem is the song of Saint Francis, make us an instrument of thy peace. “My colleagues have honored me with titles and this or that, and I say ‘I’m very honored,’” Pelosi said Sunday.
