It speaks volumes that she’s encouraging her own party to tell the rubes whatever they need to hear – even if that means pretending to turn their backs on her possible speakership.
Pelosi: NBC is out to undermine me as speaker – and Dems should just say whatever they need to win
Whether she’s talking about “Russian collusion” or claiming that “God sent Trump to remind us we’re racist,” Nancy Pelosi seems to love a good conspiracy theory. Usually, she invokes them to cover for the fact that she – or her party – has suffered an embarrassing loss. They can’t just fail. That’s impossible. There must be some sinister behind-the-scenes machination to blame!
Well, maybe Nancy’s just being pro-active, because she’s started to spout a new theory. This time, it involves her re-taking (or, more accurately, not re-taking) the Speaker’s gavel should Democrats prevail in the midterms. The idea is that, while she believes she’d be the best possible Speaker of the House, NBC is out to get her. The network, she believes, is doing everything it can to undermine her.
