During an appearance on the network, Pelosi touted President Biden’s record on the economy, saying, he “created 9 million jobs in his term in office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president. So we just have to make sure people know.”
Host Katy Tur briefly interjected, telling Pelosi “there was a global pandemic” during Trump’s presidency.
Pelosi paused, looking shocked, before shooting back at Tur that “he had the worst record of any president. We’ve had other concerns in our country.”
“If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine,” she added.
Right now the crisis facing democrats isn’t “radicalization” - the independent vote in America is miniscule… it’s that there is a huge population left of “center” (i.e. the brand of conservative currently undecided between Biden and Trump)… the thing we need to strategically attack is voter apathy.
Giving young people and other dissatisfied liberals a reason to turn out is critical.
