Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) got visibly frustrated on Monday during an interview with MSNBC’s Katy Tur. Tur pointed out that job growth during Donald Trump’s presidency was hindered by the ongoing pandemic.
During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, took the opportunity to highlight the achievements of President Joe Biden while distancing herself from former President Donald Trump.
During an interview with Tur, Pelosi expressed her concern over the potential danger that Donald Trump poses to our democracy. She emphasized the importance of understanding the very foundations of democracy and its pillars. Pelosi asked, “What are the pillars that uphold our democracy?”
A free and independent press to tell the story. To keep everybody informed of what people are saying and doing. That transparency is essential.Independent judiciary. An independent judiciary when they’re practically threatening on TV exposure of jurors in the trial of the president, or any trial, and any of that. What is an independent judiciary about? It’s about free and fair elections. And what do they do, but suppress the vote?So, there’s nothing in his “performance,” if that’s the word we’ll use, what he has done, that would indicate he cares, prioritizes, or ever valued, or ever did anything to support a democracy.And now on the ballot saying he should have immunity from whatever he might do, I mean, really, I have sympathy and respect for everybody who votes. I’m just glad people vote. I know some of them will never, will always reject those of us who might look different to them in leadership and the rest, and that’s that.But there are those who have real legitimate concerns about immigration, globalization, innovation, and what does that mean to their job and their family’s future? And we have to address those concerns. And Joe Biden is doing that. Created nine million jobs in his term in office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of a president. So, we just have to make sure people know.
Tur’s response seemed to irritate Pelosi as he boldly stated, “That was a global pandemic.”
Pelosi reiterated that he had the worst record of any president. She emphasized that there have been other concerns in the country, and if someone wants to defend Donald Trump, that may be their role, but it is not hers.
“I highly doubt that anyone can accuse me of that,” Tur asserted confidently.
