Jake Tapper’s Surprising Reaction to Nancy Pelosi’s Sharp Criticism of Biden

I wrote about it on Monday, the nasty move made by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to push Joe Biden to the exit. She reportedly threatened to humiliate and publicly denigrate him using polling data showing that he would lose.

Pelosi also said that she and Biden had not spoken since Pelosi’s move against him.

It was interesting to see how Pelosi handled the first DNC night, which was meant to be a night to honor Biden. Donald Trump was the main focus of the night. He even surpassed Biden in terms of coverage among Democrats. Biden’s 50-year career is over.

Pelosi was interviewed by CNN the night before Biden’s speech. They asked her what she had done to Biden. Jake Tapper, CNN’s anchorman, asked her if she spoke to Joe Biden regarding all of this. Her answer was brutal.

She replied, “I did what was necessary,” during the segment. It sounded like she had killed a rival to her power. “He made the decisions for the country.” “My concern wasn’t about the president but about his campaign.”

Very cold. She didn’t give a damn about him, or the votes of over 14 million people. She knew that they were in trouble and that he would lose. So much for those who care about “democracy.” Nancy, you’re going to lose and all of this will be for nothing.

Tapper said something different.

Tapper stated, “Nobody questions the fact that the Democratic Party appears to be in a much better position right now than they were 4 weeks and 2 days ago. There’s no doubt about that.”

Why are we still talking about it? Pelosi asked.

He replied, “They wrote it in my script and forced me to read it.”

What a weak response from Tapper. You do it because you are supposed to be a reporter, man. They just pulled a coup and ignored the votes of millions. It may matter when Democrats, hypocrites as they are, try to manipulate an election. It matters because this isn’t how the system should work. You could ask questions for the people, which is what journalists are supposed to be doing.

When Biden spoke, the crowd finally chanted for Joe and at one point, the camera panned to Pelosi in the audience.

She joined the chant but was looking down. Perhaps she knew how hypocritical she was. She looks guilty, but she doesn’t have one.
