Christiane Amanpour, the new host of “This Week,” quickly confronted the Speaker about comments made by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ comments in June that Republicans could be successful in their effort to reclaim the House.

“I don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about what the president’s employees say about one thing or another,” Pelosi said of Gibbs’ remark.

“We feel very confident about where we are, whether that’s well known to that gentleman [Gibbs] or not,” she added later.
