Summary of wrap-up smear for video impaired, please :)
She stated basically:
well as you know first you smear,
work with the media to get that out
then you can say see the media reported it
then you monetize it {this part surprised me}
then afterwards you have the wrap up smear
and you monetize that
as you know it’s politics so...
Sorry. ...summary of the Pelosi vid is that she is making a speech in which she explains how to smear someone by making a statement to the media and then they report on it and it becomes “fact.” In essence she is describing what they did to Justice Kavanaugh. But, according to Pelosi, it’s just politics. Horrifying.
“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
