CNN host Jake Tapper played Pelosi a clip of the joke — “And you can just explain to me that circumstance, because she really looked kind of familiar there in that position there,” Richmond said — and called it a “sexist” and “disgusting” joke.

“I wasn’t at the dinner. I’m just finding out about this,” Pelosi said. The Washington Post asked her office for comment Thursday and received no response.

Pelosi continued, pointing instead to President Trump’s “Access Hollywood” video: “You all are criticizing Cedric for something he said in the course of the evening, and he maybe should be criticized for that; I just don’t know the particulars. But do I, every day, marvel at the fact that somebody who said the gross and crude things that President Trump said, he wouldn’t even be allowed in a frat house, and he’s in the White House.”
