Nancy Pelosi on with Andrea Mitchell. Nancy's so good at this. Never takes the bait, always has the

[Hekate]

… info at her fingertips, always defends Democrats and Dem policies. Asked about a younger woman asserting that the Dems need a whole new generation, Nancy just smiled and said, “Just win” (meaning, she made clear, do what it takes) and “I am never bothered by criticism of myself.”

And so it kept going. Challenged by Andrea about Biden not bringing the abortion bill to the Senate this minute, Nancy said, “Do you think there are 10 Republican votes for it?” Asked about the 1/6 Committee (more than once) she said, “I do not interfere with the work of the Committee.”

Between them, Nancy Pelosi and Pete Buttegieg could teach an incredible Masters’ Class in how it’s done.

1. LIKE

[LakeArenal]

2. Adam Schiff too. Katie Porter.

Sadly, Al Franken today….. what a loss.

Edit: In his own way….Fetterman. Love his style. Opposite of Nancy.

[oregonjen]

6. What happened to Al Franken?

Not watching the news. What happened?

[Hekate]

8. Some of us are still grieving his forced departure from the Senate.

Such a quick-witted man.

[oregonjen]

9. Ahh, gotcha

[wryter2000]

14. I sure am

He was railroaded, and sadly, Democrats helped with that.

[LakeArenal]

10. Nothing today. He's just not in the senate to do what he does best.

Interview assholes.

[spanone]

3. K&R...

Sounds like all 'gotcha' questions from ms. mitchell. Not surprising.

[Auggie]

4. Mitchell's act is so old

[agingdem]

13. I remember Mitchell's overt hate for

Hillary Clinton..(Andrea, Chuck, Mika, Joe did their damndest to get Trump elected)...
listening to Andrea and her nonsensical blathering commentary before/after the J6 committee hearings was embarrassing...

[WhiskerBiscuit]

5. There's a reason she's the Speaker of the House

She gets it done.

[Spazito]

7. I loved the Speaker's answer to Andrea Mitchell's question...

on whether she would have punched trump if he came into the Capital and she said it was just big talk and he was too cowardly to actually do that. When Mitchell pushed again, the Speaker said yes, she would have punched him, would go to jail and would be happy. She totally owned that interview from beginning to end, imo.

11. Heh

[PCIntern]

12. Good for her!!!

Never back down, never apologize for assaulting these Nazis. You know it’s funny, in movies and TV when they want to make a point they always say or use the Mossad as an example of ruthlessness. And that’s what we need to do. Be ruthless.

[Deminpenn]

15. Trump too chicken to

go to the Capitol. Boom!

[Spazito]

16. Yep, she took no prisoners in that interview...

nailed trump, pushed back on Mitchell's questions and showed how ridiculous her question on why Biden didn't push for the bill that will protect a woman's right to choose in this term. She asked Mitchell the question, 'You really don't think we would have gotten 10 repubs to vote for it, do you?' The Speaker is truly the master of all she chooses to do, imo.

17. Andrea

I thought Mrs. Greenspan was going to retire. Her and her "but her emails!"

21. K&R

[WhiskerBiscuit]

22. And to think there was pressure to make her step down

Remember the calls from The Squad and other younger members of the caucus for Nancy to relinquish leadership?

Pelosi is irreplaceable.
