The citizens of DU have rightly venerated

Speaker Pelosi for as long as this site has existed. Reporting suggests she's one of the major players behind trying to get Biden to not run. Nobody here can say they don't like Nancy and be taken seriously. She's as good of a Democrat as there is and to call her some of the things people are calling Adam Schiff would be a blaspheme. So how do we square the 2, DU? Do we trust Pelosi knows what she's doing, as she always has? Or do we think she's lost it and is shivving Joe now at this late date for some unknown reason?

..just this cowardly move to get Biden to do their dirty work.

Nasty business. I remember supporting Nancy in both of the inside party attempts to remove her as speaker. These politicians would NEVER accept this for themselves. Never, and we would defend them...before today.

Hell, she defended Sen. Feinstein in office, ffs.

Pelosi. I have seen “unnamed sources “ leak info whether it’s true or not, I’ll wait for one from Nancy Pelosi.

 

Think. Again.

"Reporting suggests she's one of the major players behind trying to get Biden to not run."

Nancy Pelosi herslf has never said anything more than that she told Biden he has a time limit on making any decision HE might make.

Everyhing else is just innuendo and conjecture, which is absolutely meaningless.
