What could be more "bipartisan" than a Pelosi-appointed panel that excludes all Republicans and includes rabid, Trump-hating Democrats?

On CNN's New Day this morning, co-host Alisyn Camerota asked Nancy Pelosi about an "oversight" panel she has created regarding the coronavirus bailout funds. Camerota asked, "Are there any Republicans on the committee?"

Claiming she was "very proud" of how she structured the committee, Pelosi said:

"The appointments I made to the committee are, I think, create a chemistry of working in a bipartisan way.

Alisyn Camerota lets Pelosi get away with claiming a committee she appointed with no Republicans and members like Maxine Waters is “bipartisan.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I remember a period in the 60’s when “groovy” was a general word covering many types of goodness in a vague, non-specific way.

Today, “bipartisan” is used that way. As well, “diverse” gets a lot of play.

They are often used in very general ways to denote goodness.

She is a LIAR EXTRODINAIRE!

Does she tell the truth about anything!? I see she’s joined the “Scarf of the Month” club.

[mfish13]

I am pretty sure that the Republicans get to name their participants, and have not done so as of now.

Well, we are talking about the Compromised News Network here.

Excuse me, but the very definition of the term indicates “2 parties”, not “2 partisans”.

Bipartisan - some want Trump in jail; some want to just impeach him. /Democrat view

"The appointments I made to the committee are, I think, create a chemistry of working in a bipartisan way."

In plain english, "No, there are not any Republicans on the committee". Spin, parse, misdirect.

[Pollard]

About as bipartisan as Mueller’s team of lawyers

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Sure, it’s bipartisan - it’s made up of liberals and commies.

[GOPJ]

"The appointments I made to the committee are, I think, create a chemistry of working in a bipartisan way.

Does that 'chemistry comment' mean half the appointed democrats will lie, leak to the Washington Post, and play dirty against the other half of democrats on the same committee? Is that what the witch means?

"I see she’s joined the “Scarf of the Month” club."

I would suggest it is because fixing sagging turkey necks is a major cosmetic procedure. Many recent photos show it's getting really bad and doesn't match her face. It is not as easily fixed as facial procedures, along with professional makeup artists, hair dressers, and fill lighting.

Fake news (from Newsbusters).

[JerseyDvl]

Nancy would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand in place and be honest.
I still maintain that she is the inspiration for the creation of the C word.

[manc]

She has named one woman who has been calling for impeachment since day one.
Clyburn is a massive surrogate for Biden.
The over sight is already in place as there is no need for this.
Why so soon too, even the 9/11 one took over a year to set up?

We all know this is their tactics.
Keep states closed, hurt the economy, have more on unemployment, and hurt the President in the election.
Insurance policy they have is set up these hearings, and if he does win then they can go to impeachment again.

Even the most ardent , ignorant liberal can see what is going on surely.

Democrats hurting Americans for their own power, DISGUSTING

[rockinqsranch]

In her own words: Pelosi; “Where there’s money there’s mischief.”

Who would know more about that than a Democrat much less Pelosi.

[Steve_Seattle]

This is another example of the utter corruption of the MSM. By definition, a committee made up entirely of Democrats is not "bi-partisan," although Pelosi seems to think that it is bi-partisan in some sort of invisible, spiritual sense. (The presence of Maxine Waters renders that idea completely laughable, if it weren't already laughable on its face.)

It's a blatant lie, nothing any Republican could ever get away with, but it is not challenged.
