House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows a thing or two about the five D's of dodgeball and employed them all at once during her weekly press conference on Thursday.
The question Pelosi was asked revolved around Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's antisemitic comments of comparing the nation of Israel and the United States with terrorist groups such as Hamas and the Taliban.
The backlash was swift and Omar soon found herself releasing a multi-tweet explanation about wanting to find "Solidarity" with her Jewish colleagues.
All Pelosi had to do was denounce what was clearly an antisemitic moment from Omar, but true to form, Pelosi did what she always does, and avoided the tough question like an expert dodgeball player.
As you can see in the video below, the moment Pelosi was about Omar's comments she put a stop to the reporter but promised she'd address it after she was done talking about something else.
"Let's stay with this, and I'll answer that afterward," said Pelosi putting her hand up.
Without a doubt, this sidestepping of a difficult question comes with more implications than cowardice.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
