In an excerpt from her new autobiography, Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as an “enabler of some of the worst stuff.”
“Mitch McConnell is not a force for good in our country,” Pelosi wrote, adding that he is an “enabler of some of the worst stuff, and an instigator of some of it on his own.”
Pelosi also refers to McConnell as “Moscow Mitch,” primarily because he takes issue with the nickname. “It’s an effort to smear me,” he said during an appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Show in September, 2019. “You know, I can laugh about things like the Grim Reaper, but calling me Moscow Mitch is over the top.”
The book also reveals Pelosi would not have been elected to Congress in 1987 if not for tricking Republicans to vote for her with misleading mailers, which reportedly had elephant logos on them and “criticized efforts to raise taxes, and argued Pelosi would oppose income tax hikes if elected to Congress.”
As Breitbart News noted: “The push worked, and delivered her thousands of GOP votes. Had she not gotten those Republican votes these mailers helped deliver for her, given the close margin of her first victory that then sent her as the only Democrat into the runoff that sealed her election to Congress in the 1987 special election in San Francisco, she might not have ever won in the first place…”
Sounds like Pelosi is an “instigator” of “some of the worst stuff” herself. She certainly isn’t “a force for good in our country.”
