Rep. Nancy Pelosi became outraged and lectured CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Tuesday for doing his job as a journalist.
During an interview with the former House speaker that focused on Vice President Kamala Harris' refusal to lay out substantive plans for America and her habit of dodging media interviews, Pelosi excused Harris, saying that she has "No complaints about how [Harris] is going forward." 'Let's not even talk about the silliness of it all and the weirdness of it all and the assault on women that it is.
Then Tapper played a video of Donald Trump criticizing Harris' cognitive abilities.
"You talk about cognitive problems. She's got bigger cognitive problems that he has, in my opinion." The fact that Tapper would dare legitimize Trump's critiques incensed Pelosi.
"Let's not even talk about the silliness of it all and the weirdness of it all and the assault on women that it is. We're not going to talk issues. Incompetent." Pelosi then launched into a series of angry attacks on Trump.
Tapper tried to correct Pelosi's falsehoods, reminding her that the job losses that happened in 2020 under Trump weren't because of him, but they happened because states shut down during COVID. And fortunately, Tapper had the gumption to defend himself.
Pelosi's reaction to Tapper for simply doing his job - and not covering Harris only in a positive light - is telling.
