House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Wednesday that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is struggling among non-college-educated white men because they prefer “the three G’s” over “their own economic interests …” Those “three G’s” being guns, gays and God.

Speaking to PBS’ Judy Woodruff at the 2016 Democratic Convention, Pelosi was asked how Clinton can “counter” GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s lead “among white men, and particularly white men who have not attended college.”

“With an economic agenda to create jobs, good-paying jobs, increasing paychecks,” said Pelosi. “The economic agenda is what is really — it’s about the economy. You know that statement. It’s not a cliche. It’s a fact. And I think that, so many times, white — non-college-education — educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s. God being the woman’s right to choose.”

“That is softening,” continued the House of Representatives’ top Democrat. “Some of those people were never going to be voting Democratic anyway. But I believe that, with the turnout that we expect to have, we will draw some of them in with our message, and enough other people to win the election.”

Shortly after Pelosi’s comments, Daily Caller founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the Democrat’s statements show that her party is “not pretending anymore.”

They “have contempt for the core of the country, for the middle class, for rural America, and they’re now admitting it,” continued Carlson, adding that Pelosi’s assessment “basically told us everything we expected, which is they don’t like the core population of the country, which is why they’re trying to replace it with immigrants, which is why they’re constantly attacking the middle of the country as racist and retrograde and medieval.”

Clinton has struggled to attract non-college-educated white voters throughout her 2016 presidential campaign. Recent polling shows she is losing to Trump in this demographic by at least 25 points – a margin that some say could give victory to the Republican.

Though these voters went for Romney in significant margins in 2012, Trump is leading by an even larger margin. Some of that may be due to the policies and statements outlined by Clinton and Trump.

While Trump has formed his campaign around protectionist trade policies and tighter border policies that blue-collar workers often blame for economic difficulties, Clinton has frequently been targeted for saying in a CNN town hall that “we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right?”

Clinton has also said she would “bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country,” and that she doesn’t “want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on.” But it was the jobs remark that has caught a lot of flak.

In the last few days, Trump has closed what was a substantial lead by Clinton. He is now in a statistical tie with the former First Lady among all voters, with a 0.9 percent lead in the RealClear Politics average of head-to-head polling. That movement could reverse direction if Clinton gets the traditional convention “bump” among voters.

Last week’s Republican convention gave Trump a modest boost among voters that is at least partially responsible for his new lead. The recent release of emails revealing how the Democratic National Committee went out of its way to help Clinton beat former primary opponent Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) may also have been a factor.
