Bumbling Nancy Pelosi Goes So Off the Rails, Even CNN Has to Correct Her Multiple Times
Bonchie
Rep. Nancy Pelosi appeared on CNN on Wednesday to talk about the issues of the day, and her answers were so off the wall that even Dana Bash had to push back multiple times.
The so-called "Speaker Emerita," which is a made-up position Democrats gave her before handing over control of Congress in January of 2023, bumbled and stumbled her way through the interview. Was she drunk again? Is this just the state of her mental fortitude at this point? I don't know, but Pelosi remains a testament to why most people in their 80s have no business holding political office.

Is the continuing resolution that was passed by the House and that has been voted on six times now in the Senate "clean?" The answer is simple: Yes.
There is not a single poison pill, Republican priority, or excess provision attached to the proposed CR. It is, by definition, clean. What it doesn't do is extend a variety of Democrat priorities that were always supposed to be temporary, including Obamacare subsidies enacted during COVID-19. Bash should have kept pressing Pelosi on her lies instead of letting her ramble off in other directions, but that'd be asking too much from CNN.
The facts are not in doubt. Democrats filibustered a clean CR and shut down the government. Republicans continue to offer a clean CR as a resolution to the shutdown. No amount of Pelosi nervously sucking on her lips is going to change
