In an interview with Semafor on Wednesday, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi made the ridiculous claim that Kamala Harris won an open primary after Joe Biden declared he wouldn’t run for another term.
This is next-level gaslighting — read the transcript and watch the clip below.
REPORTER: You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an open primary if Joe Biden stepped down. Did you change your mind because you saw all the excitement around Kamala Harris?
PELOSI: No, I didn’t change my mind. We had an open primary and she won it. Nobody else got in the race because she was politically astute, and that was the thought, let’s show our talent. We have a great bench, all these great people in the country, and she could, the president endorsed her, and that’s a big deal because Joe Biden is the most consequential president in modern times. He accomplished so much more. I mean, even Barack Obama in his eight years in service would admit that in the short period of time that Joe Biden the majority, which was two years of his four-year term.
