Pelosi supports Wall Street protesters

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi yesterday made her first election-season endorsement — she’s backing the Wall Street protesters.

“I support the message to the establishment, whether it’s Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest, that change has to happen,” Pelosi told ABC’s “This Week.”

“We cannot continue in a way that is not relevant to their lives,” she said.

The protest, which began four weeks ago in lower Manhattan, has spread across the country, including to Washington, DC.

Pelosi added that she understood the public’s growing frustration with Washington’s malaise and that she was among those unhappy with Congress.

“Count me among those … who object to the way Congress is conducting itself,” she said.
