House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters that “people will do what they do” in response to a question about a Christopher Columbus statue being toppled in Baltimore, her hometown.

“I don’t even have my grandmother’s earrings,” said Pelosi before adding: “I’m more interested in what people have accomplished“ and that ”I think that it’s up to the communities to decide what statues they want to see.”
