The clip\u200d showed\u200c Trump \u2063making comments about Vice President Kamala \u200cHarris&#8217; cognitive\u200d abilities, which Pelosi considered inappropriate for Tapper\u200b to air. She questioned, \u200d&#8221;Why would you even cover that?&#8221; suggesting that Trump\u2064 should be \u2062ignored. The piece implies that Pelosi&#8217;s\u200c reaction reflects \u200da desire to control the narrative and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facebooks-oversight-board-will-remove-posts-flagged-by-users\/\" title=\"Facebook\u2019s Oversight Board Will Remove Posts Flagged By Users\">silence dissenting voices<\/a>, paralleling it to a totalitarian mindset.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi attempted to discredit Trump by arguing \u200dthat he \u2063had a poor job-creation record and \u200bcontributed to COVID deaths,\u2063 although Tapper challenged \u2064her claims,\u2062 emphasizing that the economic downturn was largely due to the pandemic. The \u2064article highlights the irony of Pelosi&#8217;s position, suggesting that her emotional response to \u2062Trump&#8217;s remarks indicates a \u200ddeeper anxiety within the Democratic establishment \u2063about addressing criticisms of their \u200dplatform.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the narrative portrays Pelosi as\u200b attempting to evade accountability and\u200b stifle discussion by expressing outrage over \u200cTapper&#8217;s \u200bdecision to include Trump\u2019s comments in the dialogue, reflecting the strained relationship between establishment politicians and \u200bmedia\u2062 operatives in contemporary politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Imagine what would have happened in the old Soviet Union if the state-run newspaper Pravda had challenged a powerful Communist.<\/p>\n<p>Before ordering the secret police to round up the offending journalists and send them off to the gulags, the Communist would have flown into a fit of apoplexy, stammering and hurling epithets designed to conceal his astonishment at the fact that a hitherto reliable propagandist had deviated from party orthodoxy.<\/p>\n<p>In like manner, Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the former speaker of the House, lost control of her faculties on Tuesday when hitherto reliable propagandist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jake-tapper-melts-demands-control-room-end-live-video-trump-arraignment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jake Tapper<\/a> of CNN dared to show a clip of former President Donald Trump saying something that Pelosi did not like.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Why would you even cover that?&rdquo; Pelosi said in an interview on &ldquo;The Lead with Jake Tapper.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Who can mistake the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-versus-biden-revisited-75th-anniversary-orwells-1984\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">totalitarian<\/a> impulse behind that question?&nbsp;<em>Why would you even cover that?<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Can anyone imagine Trump chastising a friendly interviewer for playing a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris? Of course not. Unlike his political opponents, the former president has no totalitarian impulses. Moreover, he would relish the chance to refute whatever Harris said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>, Tapper&rsquo;s clip featured Trump describing Harris as more mentally challenged than President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-bidens-brain-collapses-debate-trump-sounds-lost-38-second-nightmare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You talk about cognitive problems. She&rsquo;s got bigger cognitive problems than he has, in my opinion,&rdquo; Trump said while delivering a speech.<\/p>\n<p>True to form, CNN&rsquo;s accompanying chyron read as follows: &ldquo;Trump Baselessly Claims Harris Has &lsquo;Cognitive Problems.&#8217;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, since CNN rarely tells the truth, the establishment network effectively confirmed the former president&rsquo;s claim.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the Trump clip had the same effect on Pelosi that Tolkien&rsquo;s ring of power had on Gollum. It unhinged her from whatever remains of her senses.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Why would you even cover that? This is a person who&rsquo;s not on the level,&rdquo; Pelosi replied, failing to see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cbs-interviewer-cant-believe-pelosis-plan-honoring-biden-really-saying-belongs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">irony<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He is their nominee for president. He is incompetent. Let&rsquo;s not even talk about the silliness of it all, and the weirdness of it all, and the assault on women that it is,&rdquo; the former speaker added, though of course she did not explain any of those assertions.<\/p>\n<p>Fumbling around in search of a substantive response, Pelosi finally settled on a tried-and-true Democratic Party lie. She insisted that as president Trump did nothing besides give tax breaks to the super-wealthy.<\/p>\n<p>Then, she tried to saddle Trump with &ldquo;the worst job-creation record of anybody &mdash; president since Herbert Hoover.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Not even Tapper would let that one slide.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Because of COVID, yes&rdquo; the CNN host said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnns-jake-tapper-dumbfounded-reading-nonsensical-quote-biden-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tapper&rsquo;s<\/a> correction left the former speaker flummoxed and spewing gibberish.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well it&rsquo;s not because of COVID. We put three trillion dollars into the economy when he was president working with &mdash; in the Congress &mdash; uh, working together &mdash; we put three trillion dollars into the economy. So, don&rsquo;t blame it on C &mdash; and what did he do with COVID?&rdquo; Pelosi replied, her feeble and hate-addled mind searching in vain for something &mdash; anything &mdash; that would conceal the truth in Tapper&rsquo;s COVID-related observation about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">job creation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi then tried to blame Trump for COVID deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Her real purpose, though, was to chastise Tapper for straying from the party narrative.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So if you&rsquo;re gonna forgive his job record because of COVID, make sure you attribute many of those deaths to him, as well,&rdquo; she said in what sounded more like an instruction from a boss than a product of conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper replied, albeit with a smile, that he did not forgive anything but merely pointed out &ldquo;context.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He then insisted the he had good reason for showing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/elections-expert-says-early-voting-data-shows-great-news-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> clip.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Let me just say, why do I run that clip? I run that clip because that&rsquo;s the Republican presidential nominee, and I thought you might have a reaction to it,&rdquo; the CNN host said.<\/p>\n<p>Readers may view the entire exchange in the YouTube video below. The relevant segment began at the 4:00 mark.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXC7j-NiLNI?si=J2mc-qCPfhQPyePH\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course, one could spend all day refuting Pelosi and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wolf-wall-street-reveals-suspicious-nature-pelosis-stock-market-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">establishment grifters<\/a> on substance.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/covid-19-deaths-under-biden-surpass-deaths-during-trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Review<\/a> noted in December 2021, COVID deaths in Biden&rsquo;s first year as president exceeded those suffered under Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Note, too, that the former speaker said nothing about Harris&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-author-of-joe-biden-unauthorized-says-hes-seen-a-50-decline-in-joe-bidens-mental-capacity\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Author of \u201cJoe Biden Unauthorized\u201d Says He\u2019s Seen a 50% Decline in Joe Biden\u2019s Mental Capacity\">cognitive abilities<\/a>.

Do Democrats really want to remind voters of those better times? Alas, in her fit of rage at Tapper she could not help herself.<\/p>\n<p>The real story here, however, is that Tapper&rsquo;s decision to air the Trump clip filled Pelosi with totalitarian rage.

The leader would likely have erupted in anger, ordering the secret police to arrest the journalists and send them to gulags, all while stammering and using insults to mask his shock at a once-loyal propagandist straying from party lines. Similarly, Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi lost her composure when CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper aired a clip of former President Donald Trump making remarks she disapproved of. &#8220;Why would you even cover that?&#8221; she asked during an interview on &#8220;The Lead with Jake Tapper,&#8221; revealing her authoritarian tendencies. <\/p>\n<p>Could anyone envision Trump reprimanding a friendly interviewer for showing footage of Vice President Kamala Harris? Certainly not; unlike his opponents, he lacks totalitarian instincts and would welcome the opportunity to counter her statements. In fact, Tapper&#8217;s clip featured Trump claiming Harris has more cognitive issues than President Biden.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s accompanying banner labeled Trump&#8217;s assertion as \u201cBaselessly Claims Harris Has \u2018Cognitive Problems,\u2019\u201d which inadvertently validated Trump&#8217;s point given CNN&#8217;s reputation for dishonesty. The clip visibly unsettled Pelosi, who exclaimed about Trump&#8217;s lack of competence without providing any evidence for her claims.<\/p>\n<p>In search of a solid argument, Pelosi resorted to familiar Democratic rhetoric by asserting that Trump only benefited wealthy individuals through tax cuts and had an abysmal job creation record since Herbert Hoover\u2014an assertion quickly challenged by Tapper due to COVID-19\u2019s impact on employment rates.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi struggled with this correction and attempted to shift blame onto Trump regarding COVID deaths while chastising Tapper for deviating from party narratives. She insisted that if he was going to excuse Trump&#8217;s job performance because of COVID-19, he should also hold him accountable for related fatalities\u2014a directive rather than a discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper maintained his stance with good humor but emphasized that airing the clip was necessary because it involved the Republican presidential nominee and warranted Pelosi&#8217;s reaction.<\/p>\n<p>While one could spend hours debunking Pelosi\u2019s claims\u2014such as noting higher COVID death rates during Biden\u2019s presidency compared to Trump\u2019s or addressing Harris&#8217;s speaking difficulties\u2014the real issue is how deeply disturbed Pelosi became over seeing Trump on screen again; it revealed her desire for censorship rather than open discourse.<\/p>\n<p>In this exchange, despite some pushback from Tapper, it highlighted how establishment politicians&#8217; interactions with media have devolved into something reminiscent of Soviet-era absurdity under current leadership<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2345761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nancy-Pelosi-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,32551,41699],"class_list":["post-2345760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-nancy-pelosi","tag-trump-coverage"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Nancy-Pelosi-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2345760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2345761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2345760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2345760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2345760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
