House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi's net worth was off limits Tuesday during a town hall meeting in which she cited Martin Luther King Jr. to condemn "Inordinate wealth."
Mrs. Pelosi decried tax cuts touted by Mr. Trump, along with his proposed budget, when an outburst came from the crowd.
"And again, it can't possibly be a statement of value for us to talk about, as Martin Luther King said, God really didn't intend never really intended one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth while others live in abject, deadening poverty."
The audience applauded before someone from the Grand Canyon State repeatedly asked, "How much are you worth, Nancy?".
"Pelosi's annual property tax bill alone on three luxury homes last year- $137,000 - is more than twice the 2016 U.S. median household income of $59,039, which the U.S. Census reported last fall," the website reported Jan. 25.
"The bonus that corporate America received versus the crumbs that they are giving workers to kind of put the schmooze on is so pathetic," she told reporters Jan. 11.
