Pelosi says 2016 election was "hijacked" during Oxford Union debate with Mumford & Sons guitarist

Yo Snopes, I need a fact check. We've got an election denier over here!! We can't let this misinformation be shared - it's a threat to democracy!

For some reason, the 84-year-old Pelosi thought it would be a good idea to debate Winston Marshall, the former banjo player for Mumford & Sons, on the subject of elites who are disconnected from reality, and to do so at the historic Oxford Union.

Real Clear Politics has the full transcript and the video. Marshall's case?

"Populism is not a threat to democracy. Populism is democracy."

Meanwhile, here was Pelosi telling us that Americans are blinded to the liberation of democracy by "Guns, gays, and God."

Telling "poor souls" they are too dumb to understand what's best for them, so they need elites to choose what's "in their interest"? Way to prove his points!

(After all that, you won't be surprised to learn that the elites at the Oxford Union voted in favor of Pelosi.)

Here's a 13-minute segment of Marshall's argument (brief language warning):

Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.

I watched that video; Marshall's knowledge of the 2020 election was inadequate for him to be commenting on it.

There were sufficient irregularities in the 2020 election that had it taken place in a Central American country 60 or 70 years ago, the US State Department would have made clear that the US did not accept the election as legitimate.

“Democracy” by her definition is not letting the ignorant rabble decide for themselves.

Hello? Pelosi knows nothing about a Democratic Republic. And she always and the Democrats in general do not use the word democracy as an informal shortcut but what they really mean is a democracy without a republic and they know it. They’ve been telling us this for years and they get corrected time and time again but they still use the term democracy because they know exactly what they want and that is for the masses of people to have control without any law regarding the election process set forth by the Constitution of the United States.

Pecker puss Pelosi mindlessly repeats the narrative written to explain Trump’s 2016 victory. Liberals say that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Liberals are The Walking Dead.

Obama claims in the article that he filed “a lot of lawsuits” as a practicing attorney. Is that true?

And that's why we left a place with a Sovereign ruler in favor of self-government. Our guardians of freedom have “progressively” bought off elites and voters who favor dictatorship/dependency.

"Telling "poor souls" they are too dumb to understand what's best for them, so they need elites to choose what's "in their interest."

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C. S. Lewis
