Pelosi's comments come as members of the party who embrace some of the ideas behind socialism become more outspoken. Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, who has long called himself a Democratic socialist, last week introduced"Medicare for All" legislation. Centrist Democrats are also distancing themselves. Pelosi herself urged caution for Sanders' health care proposal, instead touting President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, despite a number of Democratic presidential candidates co-sponsoring Sanders' Medicare for All bill. Presidential hopefuls Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
Though some Democrats, including freshman congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., have embraced aspects of socialism, Pelosi insisted that it's only"like five people."
