Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) against criticism for his remarks on Israel and its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Pelosi highlighted Schumer's speech as an 'act of courage' and criticized Netanyahu's attempts to interfere in U.S. elections.
