Pelosi Blames Kamala’s Loss On Joe Biden

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blamed President Joe Biden this week for Vice President Kamala Harris’ blowout loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

The former Speaker of the House — who played a key role in whipping up Democrats behind the scenes over the summer to force Biden out of the race after his disastrous debate performance against Trump — made the remarks during an interview with The New York Times.

“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi said. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”

“And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward,” she claimed. “But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”

However, Pelosi said in September that it was a fair and open primary.

“We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it,” she said. “Nobody else got in the race.”

In the interview with the Times, Pelosi fumed over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) saying that the Democrats lost because they focused on identity politics instead of economic issues.

“Bernie Sanders has not won,” Pelosi claimed. “With all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families.”

“Guns, God and gays — that’s the way they say it,” she continued. “Guns, that’s an issue; gays, that’s an issue, and now they’re making the trans issue such an important issue in their priorities; and in certain communities, what they call God, what we call a woman’s right to choose.”
