Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi doubled-down on her support of Joe Biden despite recent allegations of sexual assault during his time in the Senate; saying for her the “case is closed.”
“Joe Biden speaking out days ago on allegations of sexual assault… Do you view this is a closed issue?” asked one reporter from MSNBC.
“It is for me!” said Pelosi. “I’m proud to support Joe Biden for President. I believe him when he says it didn’t happen… I will just say, I have every confidence that Joe Biden will be a great President of the United States.”

CRUZ MISSILE: Ted Torpedoes NYT After Suggesting ‘Panel’ into Biden Allegations ‘Put Together by the DNC’
Senator Ted Cruz ripped the New York Times this week after the national newspaper called-for an “apolitical panel, put together by the DNC” to investigate allegations of sexual abuse by former Vice President Joe Biden.
“They are Dem hacks, not journalists,” posted Cruz on social media.
Amazing Freudian slip from NYT. It’s the same principle as Bloomberg media saying “we won’t investigate Mike Bloomberg as a candidate, because he’s our boss.” https://t.co/wcKW2sjb8W

They are Dem hacks, not journalists. Imagine this NYT editorial: “allegations have arisen that President Nixon was behind the break-in at the Watergate. The media cannot investigate. We believe the Committee to Re-Elect the President should launch a ‘thorough’ investigation.” https://t.co/iKLiP3rjR4

“Amazing Freudian slip from NYT,” added Cruz.
