Pelosi Blasts CNN Reporter for Asking When She’ll Leave Speakership

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) criticized a CNN reporter on Election Day when he asked about her promise to resign the speakership in 2022.

"With all due respect to you and the organization you represent, that's the least important question you could ask today," Pelosi told CNN's Manu Raju Tuesday. "One of these days I'll let you know what my plans are—when it is appropriate and it matters. It doesn't matter right now."

While Democrats and the media have united in condemning President Donald Trump's criticism of the media, Pelosi has a long history of attacking journalists in response to questions she dislikes. In an extended diatribe last month, she called CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer an "apologist" for Republicans because he asked her about the status of a coronavirus relief bill.

Pelosi struck a bargain in 2018 with the Democratic Caucus to limit her speakership to four years, meaning she would pass on the gavel following the 2022 election cycle, at the latest. She is the oldest speaker in congressional history, having turned 80 in March.

They’re probably all afraid of her.

[GOP Poet]

best question asked since she became leader. :D

When somebody says, “With all due respect..” that translates to “f you”.

[Huskrrrr]

Bitter old bag, it’s time to leave. I would be surprised, considering the House losses, if she has the votes for SOTH.

It has been my experience that if you stand up to a witch like Pelosi, and you prove that you are not afraid of her, the witch will shut up and leave you alone. Do not be afraid of those people.

Didn’t we hear that if they kept the House that hag wouldn’t be elected Speaker due to her shenanigans in the past 2 years? I’ll wait.......(I’m sure the guys are looking for their b@!!s in little boxes in her office) and the women are as nuts as she is so they’re not afraid....

Pelosi does not realize she is not needed anymore.

The Democrat party version of the Night of the Long Knives will happen sometime in the next two years. The communist faction of the party will purge the old Democrat Leaders.

After Carrying water for the DNC because of the Hate Trump Psychoses, you can’t go back to asking real questions of Democrats—you sold your soul. The bridge back to real journalism has been burned. Write your Pro-Democrat/Progressive stories and pick up your tainted Pulzer Prizes on how well they skewer the enemies of the Party. Enjoy your new life as a rubber stamp.

Oh, snap, you've been blasted. < /eyeroll>

The headline writer needs to get out a little more.

Is that her personal luxury broomstick, or the taxpayer-paid luxury broomstick?

Controversy​ CNN had to retract an exclusive report in 2017, done by Manu Raju along with Jeremy Herb that the Trump Campaign, including Donald Trump Jr, had access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks before such documents were publicly available, as it was found to be incorrect. This was criticised by Julian Assange, and Donald Trump Jr tweeted at Manu Raju, "I won’t hold my breath for an apology, or for you to call out your puppet masters on the left that fed you BS knowing you would gleefully run with it without ever checking the other side". However, CNN stated it would not take disciplinary action as Raju had followed CNN's editorial standards process, though a mistake was made. In January 2020, Raju was referred to as a "liberal hack" by Senator Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) after asking her, in the Senate hallways, if the Senate should consider new evidence as part of the Trump impeachment trial.[12] Raju received support from the Capitol Hill press corps, National Press Club, and Radio and Television Correspondents' Association after the event.[13]

After the years of what Nancy has put the Trump family through, I’m betting PDJT has a special plan for Nancy.

[butlerweave]

The Dems need and should keep a Great Leader like Nancy ,LOL

[proud American in Canada]

It sounds like CNN is finally getting it.

or else the intrepid reporter will be shown the door.

Hopefully passing it to a Republican.

...figured everything of hers was taxpayer-paid, right down to her flying monkeys.

Her answer: When the pull the Speaker’s gavel from my cold dead body and carry my corpse from the House floor.
