House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was slammed on social media over her recitation of a poem written by U2 frontman Bono as a tribute to the people of Ukraine on St. Patrick’s Day.
"Ireland's sorrow and pain, Is now the Ukraine, and Saint Patrick's name now Zelenskyy," the San Francisco Democrat said at the Friends of Ireland luncheon on Thursday as part of a poem she says was written by Bono who Pelosi said has "been a very Irish part of our lives."
Pelosi’s performance drew immediate criticism on Twitter with many users using the word "cringe" to describe the event.
"I need a Guinness to wash down the cringe," Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross tweeted.
"Is this a prank?" Federalist publisher Ben Domenech tweeted. "Did someone pretend to be Bono and sent her this?"
"Extraordinary levels of Irish cringe," New York Times writer Liam Stack tweeted. "This poem brought the snakes back."
