Nancy Pelosi Accuses NBC of Trying to ‘Undermine’ Her Chances of Getting Back Speaker’s Gavel
MediaIte ^ | August 12, 2018 | Tamar Auber

During an interview on MSNBC’s AM Joy on Sunday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi pointed fingers at NBC for “undermining” her chance of getting back the Speaker’s gavel if Democrats take the House in November.

Earlier this week, NBC published an article citing 51 Democrats who would not support Pelosi for House Speaker.

According to NBC:

As Democrats battle to retake control of Congress in November, their leader — Nancy Pelosi — could also be facing a coming fight of her own.

Fifty Democrats running for the House say they won’t support the California lawmaker for speaker, according to an NBC News survey of candidates and their public statements.

At least 42 of the party’s nominees for House seats have declared they will not back Pelosi and nine incumbent Democratic lawmakers are on the record opposing her, bringing the total to 51.

Speaking with guest host Jonathan Capehart, Pelosi started off by claiming she didn’t take much stock in the list, as reported by NBC.

“First of all, I know NBC has been on a jag as one of their priorities to undermine my prospects as speaker,” Pelosi said.

She then said that she knows better than anyone how important the upcoming election is because “I see up close and personal what the Republicans and this president are doing.”

She undermines herself all the time. NBC’s opinion is worthless.

The implication is that she thinks previously they were “on her side.” Supporting her. But, now, they aren’t. That sure points towards bias, doesn’t it?

Her “Gravel”, used in passing 0Don’t Care, is now WAY too Bigly heavy for her to wield. She needs to recognize same and pass it along as a target for the new “owner”.

NBC should reconsider.

Lucidity and cognition are highly over-rated.

She only objects when she is their target.

Nancy Pelosi now has her own TV show. It’s called “Really Ugly Betty.”

It’s like gas, Nancy. You have to pass it to know what’s IN it.

Why doesn’t she accuse NBC of trying to undermine Trump’s chances of being re-elected?

It is a really interesting study in terms of why the Democrats are unable to get rid of her despite four straight cycles of failure. There’s no accountability over there.

Remember Alan Greenspan's comments about “irrational exuberance”? Nancy Pelosi has irrational arrogance. She is the absolute poster child for those pathetic individuals who use elected office as a way to validate and elevate themselves. Very, very sad - for her and the American people. She has spent enormous amounts of money during her career, literally lived off of the sweat, creativity, and sincere efforts of the American people, and has done so very little with that opportunity. She is a sad person, but should never be called a ‘public servant’.

Didn’t we just read that NBC is shortly due for a huge sex scandal? That there was a lot of sexual abuse going on over there?

Well, maybe Nancy doesn’t appeal to them.

She, and other old pols like her, will not go quietly into the night. They will be embarrassing, bitter clingers, just like Hillary.
