‘SUCH STUPIDITY’

Donna Brazile Says She Wasn’t Fighting With Pelosi in Viral Post-Election Clip

Christine Pelosi, Nancy’s daughter, agreed: “Can confirm! Nothing but love, people!”

No doubt there were some heated discussions in the Democratic Party ranks as the results poured a wet blanket over any hopes of a first woman president. But the animated conversation between the venerable former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Donna Brazile seen in a viral video was more of a progress report, the veteran party strategist said. Some suggested the two prominent Democrats were arguing after joining the disappointed gathering outside Howard University in Washington, D.C., for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential election concession speech. But Brazile, bemoaning the state of the nation, took to X to clear up any misconceptions. They weren’t fighting, she said they were just “discussing.” Christine Pelosi, Nancy’s daughter, agreed. “Can confirm! Nothing but love, people!” she posted on X. “Such stupidity,” wrote Brazile. “Speaker Pelosi and I were discussing all of the outstanding house races to be called or the path to a ‘House Majority.’ Folks, this is the Trump era: lies, disinformation and gossip. What happened to the USA?”
