House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was booed at Netroots Nation in
San Jose, Calif. — a progressive conference for bloggers and activists —
on Saturday after stating that Edward Snowden “did violate the law in
terms of releasing those documents.”
The California Democrat made the remark during a question-and-answer segment called “Ask the Leader,” in which questions were posed to the former Speaker of the House via Twitter.
Pelosi’s comment came after she defended President Obama and the National Security Agency’s surveillance program, stating that the administration had taken steps toward making such proceedings more transparent since Democrats have taken the majority, including giving FISA courts a greater role in the process.
“People on the far right are saying oh, this is the fourth term of President Bush,” Pelosi stated. “Absolutely, positively not so.”
