For three-and-a-half years there was no daylight between Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
That’s not the case anymore.
Now Joe Biden is red with rage at Nancy Pelosi over this act of betrayal.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
For the first time since exiting the presidential race, Biden opened up on his decision in a fawning interview with CBS’ liberal reporter Robert Costa.
In the interview Biden said he quit after Democrats told him he would destroy any chance of winning a majority in the House and Senate by remaining in the race.
Nancy Pelosi directed that lobbying campaign.
Biden’s allies later leaked that Biden was angry with Pelosi for taking the presidency away from him.
“Pelosi has been at the forefront of late, as the former speaker is on an extensive book tour and has been publicly explaining her part in nudging Biden off the top of the ticket. The president is still smarting but has told people in recent days that he grudgingly respects Pelosi’s actions,” POLITICO exclusively reported.
“She did what she had to do,” Biden told one top Democrat, saying Pelosi “cares about the party” and not the fact that she and Biden were friends for 40 years.
Biden hinted at this anger directed toward Pelosi, at one point growing annoyed with Costa’s questions about him dropping out of the race.
“And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic,” Biden ranted. “You’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did so — and — and I thought it’d be a real distraction.”
Biden’s team also thought it staunched the bleeding following the horrific June 27 debate performance where Joe Biden showed he is senile by repeatedly declaring his intention to accept the nomination he won in the primaries at the convention in August.
But on July 10, Pelosi showed up on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and didn’t accept that answer, saying Biden needed to make a new decision on if he was running.
Pelosi’s comments opened the floodgates for congressional Democrats to speak out against Biden running as the nominee.
11 days later, Biden announced he quit the race.
The final nail in the coffin came when Biden’s team told him Pelosi intended to publicly embarrass him by telling reporters Donald Trump would rout Biden in a landslide if Biden remained atop the ticket.
“Moreover, Biden’s inner circle told him the day before he dropped out that if he persisted in the race they believed that Pelosi was going to take her misgivings public — including her belief that Trump would defeat him — which would have been deeply humiliating for a sitting president, two of the people said,” POLITICO’s report continued.
This episode showed that the true power in the Democrat Party didn’t reside with the sitting president.
It sat with Nancy Pelosi.
