    Why are the Pelosi’s even on this infographic if none of the lines connect to them?

    Edit: oh I seen Ron Pelosi married Barbara Newsom in the 1950s but then they divorced in 1977, nearly 50 years ago.

        Looks like it’s a lot more distant than that:

        Gov. Gavin Newsom’s aunt, Barbara Newsom, was once married to Ron Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law. Barbara Newsom and Ron Pelosi divorced in 1977.

        That means for a while, Gavin Newsom was related to Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law by marriage, but the familial relation between the two now-powerful Democrats was even more distant. Not to mention, the marriage tying the two families together ended when Gavin was 10 years old.

        I’m no fan of Pelosi or most of the Republican-lite DNC leadership but this is quite a stretch.
