Twitter grilled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Friday for wishing people a “Happy Shwanza” instead of “Kwanzaa” during remarks concluding the House of Representatives’ vote on the “omnibus” spending bill had.
After the 4,155-page, $1.7 trillion bill passed the House of Representatives on Friday, Pelosi decided to end the session of Congress by wishing happy holidays to several different groups celebrating this time of year, including one, which doesn’t exist.
In her sign-off — which she claimed “will probably be my last speech as Speaker of the House” — Pelosi said, “I’m restoring the balance of my time and wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe New Year.” Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. Happy Swanza. Happy Hanukkah.”

Making sure she respected all the major holidays this season, she added: “Whatever you’re celebrating, be sure! Thank you, Mr. Speaker.” Although several Twitter users have fixed on “Shwanza” and mocked the Democratic Party leader for it.
Conservative digital strategist Greg Price shared the 17-second clip on Twitter, tweeting, “Pelosi concludes her final speech as Speaker of the House by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and ‘Happy Swanza.'”
Price then updated a classic Christmas line to reflect Pelosi’s faux pas. “Happy Shwanza everyone and good night everyone,” he tweeted.
