John Fetterman Slams Nancy Pelosi As 'Godmother' Of Democratic Party
HuffPost
The Pennsylvania senator says Pelosi "embraced" her image as his party's "godmother" and "enforcer," only to blame President Joe Biden for Trump's win.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) had some harsh words for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif).
The senator Fetterman told Politico Thursday that Pelosi accomplished her goal of getting President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 election, only to publicly blame him after the Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris lost the race to President-elect Donald Trump.
“She really tried to — what’s the word I’m looking for? — she embraced this, ‘she’s the godmother, she’s the enforcer,’” he said. “And now she’s blaming Biden. Well, you can’t have it both ways.”
“You got what you wanted, and now you’re still blaming Biden,” he continued. “I think it’s really ironic that you have a woman at age 84 and she is still hanging on. Why not give a younger generation an opportunity to occupy that seat?”
The finger-pointing among frustrated Democrats began almost immediately after Trump’s election victory last week. In her first interview after the election, the longtime House speaker told the New York Times that Harris would’ve been a “stronger” candidate had Biden exited the race sooner.
