Guys, I have no idea what Speaker Nancy Pelosi was trying to say. She honestly gaffed her way through this interview so hard that I think it made Biden blush. However, in her babble, Pelosi slipped and called the SCOTUS leak a fake.
Host Margaret Brennan asked Pelosi if she thought it was a “mistake” for Obama not to push harder on codifying Roe v. Wade when Democrats had the majority rule, a clip of which was shared to Twitter. Brennan hadn’t even finished asking her question before Pelosi started mumbling over her.
“If I just may, the focus we have right now is an urgent one in order to uh … uh … try to improve, try to improve this — we’re calling a ‘fake’ or ‘draft’ decision — whatever it is. I think that this is a waste of time,” Pelosi responded, before saying that, “the fact is that in [2009] we really did not have a pro-choice Democratic Party. I had to fight against some of the people who did not want to pass the Affordable Care Act because they were concerned that it might enable more freedom of choice.”
“It really didn’t go down that path. Right now, we do have a pro-choice Democratic Congress and we passed the law … uh … months ago, last, I think, September,” Pelosi continued. Brennan pushed Pelosi on the number of votes in the Senate, to which Pelosi told her to go and talk to the Senate.

I think that Pelosi calling the leak ‘fake’ is very telling. I know I’ve proposed this before since this whole mess began, but what if the outrage over Roe V Wade is just manufactured to rally liberally voters and get them to forget about inflation, fuel costs, and Biden’s 33% approval rating? Pelosi seems very confident that Dems can protect Roe V Wade.
To me, this sounds like Pelosi gaffed her way into telling a fractionated truth. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
