“Self-fulfilling premise. You demonize and then you— We call it the wrap-up smear, if you want to talk politics. Called the wrap-up smear. You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest, and then you merchandize it. And then you write it, and they’ll say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press that this, this, this, and this.’ So they have that validation that the press reported the smear. And then it’s called the wrap-up smear. Now, I’m gonna merchandize the press’s report on the smear that we made. It’s a tactic. And it’s self-evident.” —Nancy Pelosi
