Nancy Pelosi should “pipe down” after calling the controversial congressional map approved by Alabama lawmakers “completely, totally ridiculous,” Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, said Wednesday.

Pelosi, the former U.S. House Speaker and longtime Democratic congressional leader who is still representing the San Francisco area in the chamber, made the comments during an appearance Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Nation.”

She has long been a frequent target of Republican attacks. Ledbetter took aim at her on Twitter using the hashtag #PipeDownPelosi.

“Thanks to [Pelosi’s] leadership, America is tanking in debt, families have to spend $13,000 more a year, and criminals are running our streets,” Ledbetter said. “Alabama is doing better than the Feds because we don’t take advice from liberal activists like Nancy.”

Th new congressional district map that passed Friday and signed by Gov. Kay Ivey was a compromise version approved by Republicans on a conference committee.

Like earlier versions of maps supported by the Republican majority in the State House, it does not add a second majority Black district.

Friday was the deadline set by a federal court for the Legislature to approve a new map.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed a three-judge district court ruling that Alabama’s current map likely violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the Black vote.

One-fourth of the state’s residents are Black, but only one of the seven Congressional districts has a majority Black population. The district court said that to fix the violation, Alabama needed a second majority Black district “or something quite close to it,” a district where Black voters would have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.

Alabama’s role in shaping the next Congress through the map has made the state’s redistricting effort a national focus.

Pelosi is not the only California congressional member to weigh in — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., spoke with State Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, shortly before Friday’s vote.

Livingston said McCarthy told him, “I’m interested in keeping my majority.”

McCarthy’s potential influence on Alabama lawmakers was criticized by State Rep. Chris England, D-Tuscaloosa, who said the House Speaker should “chip in” on the state’s legal fees.

“If my GOP colleagues passed this map because of [McCarthy], I hope they asked him to chip in for the attorney’s fees we’ll pay when we lose defending this map in court,” England tweeted Friday night. “Because we will lose. And it won’t be cheap—we’re talking Lunsford money, not pocket change.”
