The video of this “first-ever joint interview” at Chinese restaurant Hunan Dynasty really helps shred the last vestiges of relatability these Washington elites have to everyday Americans, while also shredding whatever’s left of CNN’s journalistic integrity in one fell swoop.
This from an interview by Jamie Gangel on westernjournal.com.
This is thoroughly disgusting and repulsive if not a dual confession to treason:
Gangel said:
I want to talk about how the two of you navigated working with former President Trump,
We had a good time.
Gangel made a point of noting that Pelosi “got under” Trump’s skin, though to be fair to Trump, Pelosi is exceptionally skilled at that.
Gangel asked:
Was there a strategy when you went into a meeting? Was there a good cop/bad cop?
Pelosi went on to criticize Trump’s inauguration comments while picking food out of her teeth with her tongue. It was quite the visual, and not in a good way.
Pelosi said:
So, I’m thinking, ‘How is he going to begin?’
‘Is he going to quote the Constitution, American history, [a] poet, the Bible?’
Mimicking Trump, she said:
‘You know, I won the popular vote.’ And I said, ‘Mr. President, that’s just not true.’
Here’s where Pelosi and Schumer went into full “Mean Girls” mode, though it should be noted that the two are a combined 154 years old.
Schumer said, referring to the first government shutdown under Trump’s watch:
We sort of set him up, instinctively. We didn’t plan this.
The two took an unusual amount of pride in … getting Trump to take ownership of the aforementioned shutdown? It’s as deliriously self-congratulatory as it sounds.
Pelosi swooned:
Chuck was masterful. He was masterful.
Schumer added:
She set him up so I could go in for the kill.
Pelosi said:
He’s talking to [Trump] about the government shutdown and about the immigrants and the rest. And he says, ‘I take ownership.’
Schumer said:
So, I said, ‘Mr. President, will you own the shutdown?’
“Trump replied:” ‘Yes, I will.’
Again, Schumer and Pelosi are giddily proud of that?
Things only got worse as CNN exposed their own blatant hypocrisy by lauding some of Pelosi’s most childish antics—like tearing up Trump’s speech during the State of the Union address or her generally childish antics toward the former president.
Imagine if this exact same interview was conducted between two Republican figures about Joe-Joe Biden or Kamaltoe Harris?
CNN would be howling to the moon about the lack of decorum and class.
But perhaps more damning than the lack of scruples from Schumer, Pelosi and CNN is the utter disconnect that these literal coastal elites have from everyday Americans.
The average American doesn’t give a rip about how Schumer and Pelosi “set up” a former president to look foolish.
They care about things like record inflation, putting food on their tables, keeping their cars filled with gas and keeping a roof over their heads.
Those are all actual issues that Schumer and Pelosi could have some tangible effect on.
But instead of doing that, they opted for a publicized live re-enactment of “Mean Girls.”
Final thoughts: If it is possible to dislike Schumer and Pelosi any more, then I do. This dinner interview is pathetic but sadly, not at all surprising. Will we ever see this pair of collaborators indicted for treason? This can’t happen soon enough.
