Democrat Nancy Pelosi appears to reboot the attitude of Hillary Clinton's 'deplorables' message and insults millions of Americans in the process. The American Tribune reported on this and included a quote from Pelosi:
Beginning, Rep. Pelosi claimed to have been a steady opponent of Trump, saying, “I didn’t stand up to him many times. I stood up to him once. It lasted a very long time.” Then, emphasizing why, Rep. Pelosi seemingly tried to characterize the former president as a tin-pot dictator, saying, “So he was clever — undermine the press, undermine the rule of law, ‘I’m above the law.’ So seeing the length to which he will go, of course, is more frightening. He’s a threat to our democracy, but we intend to win.”
Pelosi also refused to admit that Trump is wildly popular with many voters. When Lacqua, commenting on the former president’s base of support, noted that Trump is “so popular with the voters,” Rep. Pelosi shot back, “Well, he’s popular with his group.”
That led into Pelosi’s vicious attack on Trump supporters, characterizing them as terrible people. She said, “It’s interesting to see how there’s a certain element of the population who would just go for him.” She added, “They’re people we would probably never get. They don’t share our values in terms of respect for the dignity and worth of every person and the rest.”
She then went on to describe Trump as a cancer, saying, “So hopefully, as soon as we get through this, shall we say, cancerous situation that we’re in — the malignancy of Trump — they will emerge in a strong way with the leadership that I know is there in the Republican Party. Not necessarily in the Congress, but in the country.”
