House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi earnestly thanked the establishment media for covering her party’s congressional rule-breaking so favorably.

During her weekly press briefing on Thursday, Pelosi told the press, “Thank you all. I never saw the gallery so full. We really kept you up late and during the night and all the rest. … But thank you for your interest,” as noted by the Washington Free Beacon.

“We have six pages. They gave me six pages today. Six small-print, full pages listing of newspapers around the country where the sit-in was on the front page,” Pelosi said pausing for a moment. “I thank you for that. Thank you all.”

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan commented on the Democratic Party’s sit-in saying, “I’m not going to dwell on the decorum of the House here today, other than to say we are not going to allow stunts like this to stop us from carrying out the people’s business.” (RELATED: Paul Ryan Says Democratic ‘Stunt’ Is Not ‘A Proud Moment For Democracy’)

Deputy House Majority Whip Tom Cole argued that Democrats have “exploited” the Orlando terrorist attack for “political purpose.”
