House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she thinks a lot about what she would do if she “ruled the world.”
The California Democrat made the comment on Monday after she accepted the Women For Peace and Security Award at the 67th annual Session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Lisbon, Portugal.

“When people ask me, ‘If you ruled the world, what one thing would you do?’ — I think about that a lot,” Pelosi told the crowd. “It would be to prioritize the education of women and girls … It would make the biggest difference not only in their lives, their families, their communities but to the world.”

“Because we truly do believe that when women succeed, America succeeds — or any country succeeds. But globally, we all succeed,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi said she would display the award in her office in the U.S. Capitol.
“I will display with great pride in the Speaker’s Office in the Capitol as a constant reminder and inspiration of the work that you do and the importance of parliaments in the work of security, the economy, governance — the issues that brought us here today,” she said.
This comes after Pelosi met with Pope Francis last weekend amid Catholic backlash for her pro-abortion stance despite self-identifying as a “devout” Catholic.

“No one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it,” San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone scolded Pelosi in a statement.
