'Political malpractice': Sellers calls out Pelosi and Schumer for role in Biden saga - CNN!

Democratic political commentator Bakari Sellers says that while he loves former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Charles Schumer, they are committing 'political malpractice, at best' with their efforts to aid some lawmakers who want President Biden to drop out of the 2024 campaign.

I suspect those calling for Biden to step down has everything to do with the billionaire donors and tax cuts

there should be some public display showing that every single Democratic politician will absolutely support the Democratic candidate. And it should be publicly admitted exactly how much money the elite donors had reneged on.

I don't believe one word about Pelosi and Schumer wanting Biden out. That is complete b.s. Shame on somebody going public on something that hasn't been proven to be true.

Democratic leaders should have rallied around our president after the debate, which Joe won on substance.

They also should have taken every media opportunity to insist that Trump's bold-faced easily disprovable LIES receive equal coverage.

This should have been the strategy, whole giving President Biden time to recover by demonstrating his capabilities.

If, after giving this time to work, an honest and thorough assessment indicated a different candidate would be much more likely to win the elrction, then our Democratic leaders should explore that possibility only if there is a realistic plan for how that process would work and succeed.

Instead, some Democrats allowed panic to dictate their actions. Instead, early calls for Joe to step down reinforced the media narrative and amplified the negative impact of the debate.

This was nothing short of POLITICAL MALPRACTICE.

So once again this is just more mainstream media garbage that is only meant to damage the Dems.
