What Happened: Pelosi pushed back on Michelle Obama’s claim that Americans aren’t ready for a woman president.
-
Why It Matters: Democrats are blaming voters instead of admitting their candidates and policies keep failing.
-
Bottom Line: Americans will elect a woman president. They just won’t elect a Democrat with Biden-Harris baggage.
Nancy Pelosi jumped on CNN to swat down Michelle Obama’s claim that America “isn’t ready” for a woman president. Democrats love blaming voters when their candidates flop, but the truth is simple. Americans are tired of being lectured, not led.
Pelosi insisted that the country is more than ready, yet conveniently ignored the fact that voters just rejected Kamala Harris in a landslide. You cannot run on failed policies, open borders, inflation, and cultural scolding and expect the Oval Office to magically open up. Voters aren’t anti-woman. They are anti-Democrat.
Pelosi can spin it all she wants, but the results speak for themselves.

And so? So do women serve in the military.”
The former House Speaker added that she “always thought we would have a woman president long before we had a woman speaker of the House,” and that she “didn’t set out to be speaker.”
Following up on Pelosi’s statement, Cooper asked why she believed there would be a female president before a female speaker of the House.
“Because I thought the American people were much more ready for a woman president,” Pelosi responded. “Just the thought of it is so exciting and the message it sends to the world. Faster than there would be a woman speaker as this place, I mean, it’s shall we say — it’s male-dominated for hundreds of years and so when I ran for leadership, they said, ‘Who said she could run?’”
“Oh, poor babies. I’m not waiting for you to tell me I can…
