House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who has finally got herself to Washington flipped out after a reporter questioned her about Joe Biden.
Washington Examiner reporter Kerry Picket asked Pelosi during the press conference how “Democrats square with the idea that they’re essentially standing by Biden but used a comparatively different standard with Justice Kavanaugh when you demanded an investigation against Kavanaugh when a similar allegation came out against him.”
Pelosi was furious and threw her hands up in the air.
“I respect your question, and I don’t need a lecture or a speech. I have a complete respect for the whole #MeToo movement,” she added. “I have four daughters and one son. And there’s a lot of excitement around the idea that women will be heard and be able to be listened to.”
“There is also due process, and the fact that Joe Biden is Joe Biden,” the Speaker later added. “There’s been statements from his campaign, not his campaign but his former employees who ran his offices and the rest, that there was never any record of this, there was never any record, and that nobody ever came forward or nobody came forward to say something about it apart from the principle involved.”
Due to the social distancing guidelines, reporters are spread out so you will have trouble hearing the question from the reporter.

Even Chris Cillizza at CNN was annoyed by Pelosi’s response.
Was that question a “lecture”? Doesn’t seem like it? https://t.co/ttpUsrDyCM

Even hardcore liberal journalists are calling out Pelosi, Gene Park from the Washington Post who was a Blasey Ford supporter said…
this is literally echoes of Kavanaugh’s defenders https://t.co/phKH8zXvKY

Biden’s team apparently released a new talking point which basically claims Trump is corrupt and as long as he’s president and corrupt we don’t have to release anything; Matthew Miller from MSNBC was first to post this. Well, that didn’t fly with CNN’s Jake Tapper and he slammed Miller saying that Biden is supposed to be better than Trump, and Biden’s response “guts the fact that transparency is important.”
‘The other guys aren’t transparent so we shouldn’t be either’ is not a principled argument. It’s a political tactic, an excuse to hide information. And it savagely guts the fact that transparency is important because voters have a right to know about their leaders. https://t.co/k1F2BaJHQp

I’m not sure what the heck is going on in liberal land but they can’t seem to keep track of their own “BS” and it’s tearing them apart. Since the liberal press has started to turn on him Biden has refused to do an interview.
