American would have been lost, if not for Al Sharpton.

That’s the opinion of likely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The current House Minority Leader was addressing Sharpton’s National Action Network conference in Washington, D.C. today when she concluded her remarks by gushing over Sharpton and his activists.

“Thank you, thank you for helping take back America,” Pelosi said, despite still lacking a majority in the U.S. Senate, U.S. Supreme Court, and not holding the White House.

“Uh, people are call— all over the place are calling me, writing, airports here and there— thank you for saving America.

“I give those thanks to you,” Pelosi said, pointing at the small audience.

“Thank you for saving America,” she said. “Reverend Sharpton, thank you for saving America!” she said, grabbing his hand and raising it high.

The two embraced before Pelosi left the podium.
