Pelosi snaps at CNN’s Jake Tapper for mentioning Trump’s smear at Harris
“Why would you even cover that?” the former House speaker told Jake Tapper.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi chided CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Tuesday for bringing up Donald Trump’s latest baseless smear of Vice President Kamala Harris regarding her acuity.
You're viewing a single thread.
Now Taper's lies are suddenly an issue for her?
If the Dem party had stood up for Talib when he did the same thing to her. He might not have done this
That's funny. The Democratic Party standing up for a progressive.
No need to stand up for progressives when you got people like Dick Cheney on your side.
No willingness to stand up for progressives, regardless of who is on their side.
That was a bit different though - Tapper quickly apologized (see https://adc.org/demand-cnn-jake-tapper-and-dana-bash-apologize-for-false-attacks-on-rep-rashida-tlaib/ & https://www.commondreams.org/news/rashida-tlaib-false-allegations )
It is a bit tough to see though - Dems stick together in opposing the GOP, but when we see a fight between two Dems they try to avoid getting involved (as per https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-gov-whitmer-completely-dodges-when-confronted-by-jake-tapper-about-whether-rep-tlaib-made-an-anti-semitic-smear-against-michigans-ag/ )
Though I also understand why Whitmer wouldn't directly speak out. Nessel is under Whitmer, so Whitmer would be publically criticising her own subordinate. But, this wouldn't apply to Pelosi.. the best I can say about that is the issue with Nessel was just elow Pelosi's radar.
