WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she doesn’t wish to be speaker again.

In an interview published Friday in the National Journal, an inside-Washington magazine, the 73-year-old Pelosi was asked whether she wishes to return to the top job. Pelosi said she did not, pointing out that she has held the post.

‘‘No, that’s not my thing. I did that,’’ Pelosi said.

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill discounted Pelosi’s comments, saying they’re in line with her stock response when she’s asked about running for leadership positions. Hammill said Friday that she’s working hard to win back the majority for Democrats and that, if the effort is successful, her colleagues would elect their speaker.

‘‘She was simply saying she doesn’t ‘wish’ for things,’’ Hammill said.

Pelosi recently said she will run for re-election to her House seat representing San Francisco.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
