During an appearance on the network, Pelosi touted President Biden’s record on the economy, saying, he “created 9 million jobs in his term in office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president. So we just have to make sure people know.”
Host Katy Tur briefly interjected, telling Pelosi “there was a global pandemic” during Trump’s presidency.
Pelosi paused, looking shocked, before shooting back at Tur that “he had the worst record of any president. We’ve had other concerns in our country.”
“If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine,” she added.
I’m not the person you were asking, but no, I don’t. I don’t feel I owe you one. I feel it’s awfully presumptuous of you to imply I need to pass a purity test before I can criticize Biden. He’s the fucking president. We’re supposed to criticize him. That’s an important part of a functioning democracy. Acting like “our guy” is above criticism is what magas do. I have no use for them, and I have no use for you.
