Nancy Pelosi appeared on Andrea Mitchell Report and made sure not to be hoodwinked by Trump's message of the day and instead made the point she wanted to make. She illustrates how Democrats can prevent Trump's smoke & mirrors and deflections from working.

(1,798 posts)I can't say I doubt that it presents what was said, but has it been edited to speed up Mitchell's and Pelosi's speech? I've never seen so many edits in a short space of runtime, and yet it's not clear that any words were actually removed.
I like what Pelosi said, but this did not seem to be a continuous play of the original video to me. Am I missing something here?

(9,055 posts)a little deceptive, but her natural pauses do make me anxious. Will she get it out? Will she stumble all over herself? She usually is able to get her point across. Love Nancy.

(2,699 posts)Mrs. Pelosi was brilliant. She stole the podium, chastised the media (and by inference, Ms. Mitchell) and stayed on target. This is how a professional does business. This is how a leader leads.
Put me down as one who actually questioned whether she could lead the Party as Speaker of the House and who has found himself eating crow almost every day since she was elected to that role. She knows how the system works and how to work the system, and she also knows how to approach the unelected president -- by sarcastic clapping, by tearing up his speeches, and by calling him out in any and every face to face confrontation.
These are parlous times for the republic, but I take pleasure -- and we all should -- knowing that Trump languishes in the shadow of an African American president and a white mother of 5. It must be crushing to him and his fragile ego to know that the entire world understands how badly outmatched he is when compared to either Obama or Pelosi.

(10,848 posts)Nancy Pelosi cuts through the fog, names names and calls out the shiny object du jour for what it is: a distraction, a deflection from the devastating reality of 100,000 deaths and counting.
This is what leadership looks like. Seriously doubt Ms Mitchell will pick up the clue that the media is responsible for carrying Trump's dirty water by following him down the rabbit hole day after day after day.
to our very skilled Madame Speaker and for everything she does, not the least of which is reminding the public of the deadly clown show they're witnessing.
Never forget, never forgive.

(8,888 posts)Many of us have been posting on here for months and months, if not years about how Trump is being used by the RepubliCON controlled Senate to divert attention daily from the endless shit the Senate RepubliCONS have been doing in the shadows ever since they "installed" him in office. It supplies the RepubliCON mass media a diversion to use every single day to keep from reporting what really is going on in America with our Executive and Legislative branches. Reports are that 80+% off All major media in the United States is owned by Rich Republicans. What the hell do you expect them to report?????????? Add in all the Russian bots clogging the internet with their pro trump anti dem rhetoric that is nothing but false hoods and you have quite a grand slam going on.........
"As the Dems walk down the jungle path swatting at mosquitoes, they are oblivious to the herd of charging elephants".
That is a perfect summary statement of the leadership of OUR democratic party for the past many years, if not decades.........

I always like your YouTube-casts.

(86,897 posts)Just take it over and not let the interviewer ask more stupid questions. Ms. Pelosi has the chop on every journalist out there and chooses all her words carefully but also is more on point than most interviewees.

(6,699 posts)Like the host said, you may not agree with her 100% of the time, but POW! BAM!! She is awesome in putting her foot down on these media tools and refocusing back on the big picture.
I LOVE this woman. A real "HERO" in our government today, when we literally have an enemy within. God bless her!!!
