Party Starting to Turn on Pelosi After Election Coup
In the 2024 election, Democrats did something that had never happened before in the history of the country.
They replaced a duly elected candidate after the primary race had been settled because Joe Biden was polling badly.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is widely believed to have been the ringleader of the coup, and now people are pointing fingers at her as they look for someone to blame for the monumental loss suffered by Democrats in this election.
Finger Pointing
Pelosi was clearly involved in replacing Joe Biden, and there remains a clear rift between these two, as they have not reportedly spoken in months.
After the election, Pelosi was quick to place blame on Joe Biden.
After claiming that she believed Harris would have done well in a regular primary race, she fingered Biden for the blame, having stated, "But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened.
"And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different."
Many believe that Biden endorsed Harris right out of the gate to mess with the Democrat plan, not wanting to see anyone else in the race.
To that point, one aide, after the election, stated, “We ran the best campaign we could, considering Joe Biden was president. Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight.”
Pelosi has been fighting back accusations that she is the reason they lost this race, and Pelosi continues to say that if Joe Biden had backed out sooner, they could have won, but there is nothing to support that claim.
Polling showed us all that the longer Harris was in the race, the more ground she gave up to Trump, so I am starting to wonder if Trump would have had a Reagan-esque win had Harris been in there longer.
Even the liberal media is starting to turn against Pelosi, with “The View” co-host Ana Navarro stating, “[Pelosi] wants to make sure people know it wasn’t her, [that] she has no blame in this. … It’s really unseemly.”
Symone Sanders Townsend, MSNBC host and former Biden aide, also went after Pelosi, stating, “Nancy Pelosi, everybody talks about how the speaker emerita, you know, she’s so strategic, she can count, she did all of that when she was the speaker in Congress, but my question is: Where is your calculator now?”
Even Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took a shot at her, adding, “She embraced this ‘She’s the Godmother, she’s the enforcer’ [image] and now she’s blaming Biden.
“Well, you can’t have it both ways. You got what you wanted, and now you’re still blaming Biden.
“I think it’s really ironic that you have a woman at age 84 and she is still hanging on. Why not give a younger generation an opportunity to occupy that seat?”
Fetterman’s point is one that I have made myself repeatedly.
The number of members of Congress who are 70+ is staggering, and they clearly cannot relate to today's younger voters.
This is true on both sides of the aisle. I could rattle off a dozen names of Republicans who should have retired long ago, starting with Senator McConnell (R-KY).
Roughly 35% of the Senate is 70 or older, and nearly 20% of the House is 70 or older.
This falls on the American people, however, because they are the ones who keep on pulling the handle for these fossils to remain in office.
