Say it like you mean it, Nance…
During night one of the Democratic National Convention, former Speaker of the House and Biden back-stabber Nancy Pelosi was caught lazily chanting “We Love Joe” and holding up a sign with the same message during Biden’s remarks.
Reports of tensions between Biden and Pelosi began to surface shortly before Biden was forced out of office. Last night, Biden denied those tensions, but Pelosi’s face tells a different story.
From The New York Post:
Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, was spotted brandishing a “We [heart] Joe” sign alongside fellow Democrats who were heard adamantly showing their love for the aging chief executive during his speech in Chicago late Monday.
However, the former House speaker was caught with a half-hearted expression on her face — and appeared to be mouthing the chant quietly.
Earlier in the evening, Pelosi defended herself against speculation that Biden has been frustrated over her role in the alleged mutiny against him.
“Sometimes you have to take a punch for the children,” she told CNN. “I did what I had to do.”
The California Democrat declined to confirm if she had spoken to Biden since he dropped out of the race last month, but told the outlet her “concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign.”
She then grew uncomfortable with the direction of the questioning and asked, “Why are we even talking about it?”

Pelosi just said the quiet part out loud and admitted that she got Biden defenestrated from the race. “I did what I had to do… My concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign." pic.twitter.com/x2zQlqT4Qu

New York Times columnist Maureen Down said in an op-ed over the weekend that “Party leaders whitewashed the coup by ornately extolling Biden,” in her piece titled “The Dems are delighted. But a coup is still a coup.”
