What a JOKE: Pelosi Says MSNBC Is Being Too ‘Fair’ to Republicans

Apparently MSNBC is not deep enough in the pocket of the Democratic Party for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s liking. That’s what the far-left lawmaker told anchor Peter Alexander late Wednesday morning when he decided to actually briefly do his job and ask one challenging question during an otherwise softball interview.

During the 11:00 a.m. Eastern hour, the fill-in host dared to question Pelosi’s abhorrent rhetoric regarding Republican police reform legislation:

Madam speaker, let me ask you about police reform. Obviously a major issue as we see this wave of protests continuing across the country right now. You’ve echoed your Democratic colleagues who have said that the Republican bill is in their words, in your words, unsalvageable. When you were speaking yesterday, you said Republicans are trying to get away with murder actually, the murder of George Floyd. Senate Republicans are demanding an apology for that statement. Will you apologize?

There is a lot to unpack in this question. First, Pelosi and Schumer worked together to make the passage of Senator Tim Scott’s bill impossible from the outset. Even if the bill had managed to pass the Senate, Pelosi had declared it dead before arrival. Second, Alexander addressed Pelosi’s indefensible comments from a national radio show accusing Republicans of trying to get away with the murder of George Floyd.

That kind of rhetoric is disgusting and completely unwarranted, the kind of talk that Democrats and their media puppets would shriek for weeks about if it came from the other side.

But Pelosi’s nasty, unapologetic response was even more ridiculous. In a truly laughable moment, she actually argued that left-wing propaganda outfits like MSNBC were giving “too much credit” to the GOP:

Absolutely, positively not. The fact is — I think you frankly in the press have given them far too much credit for a bill that does nothing. You’re saying, you have their bill, they have theirs. Their bill does nothing.

For those who watch the media on any kind of regular schedule, this accusation from Pelosi is truly bizarre. The media have been overwhelmingly in favor of Democrats, which is something that Pelosi knows. This is her classic response, and the response of many Democrats, when faced with a tough question, accuse the media of not being loyal enough to the left.

With the exception of Fox News, the media are the Democrats’ mouth piece on any issue. Alexander is not fazed though, asking Pelosi next if South Carolina’s Tim Scott — the Republican’s only black Senator and the creator of the bill — was “acting in good faith.”

That question put Pelosi in a tight spot, because if she condemned Scott, she would have faced a backlash, so she turned it around to bash Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, instead launching into a barely discernible rant attacking Republicans.
