Because it\u2019s about hate. When we did the hate crimes legislation, now this was a number of years ago, and we had the majority, we couldn\u2019t get the bills to come to the floor, and to be able to vote on it on the floor,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, people came to me and said, If you take out trans, you can pass the bill in one minute,\u201d Pelosi continued. \u201cI said, if we take out trans, we\u2019re not passing the bill, because I\u2019m not taking out trans. That\u2019s just the way it is. Now this was probably like 2008 and 2009, so it\u2019s a while ago, but here we are again today.
