CNN host Elex Michaelson interviewed Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and she uncorked on President Trump, a "vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth." CNN played this several times on Monday. On The Source with Kaitlan Collins in the 9pm hour, CNN analyst and former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield added a "You go, girl."
Republican commentator Kevin Madden was not asked for comment on this! He was asked to comment on the off-year elections.
The California-based Michaelson is hosting a new show called The Story Is with Elex Michaelson in the midnight-2 am slot in the Eastern time zone (9-11 pm Pacific). He nudged Pelosi on if she is going to announce if she's not running for re-election in 2026, as expected. She wanted to get through this Democrat campaign with Proposition 50 to destroy the independent redistricting commission first.
Collins introduced the audience-thrilling clip this way: "She unsurprisingly, had some choice words about President Trump." If it's unsurprising, is it "news"? Anything blasting Trump is "news" on CNN.
PELOSI: He's just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth. But anyway.
ELEX MICHAELSON: You think he's the worst thing on the face of the earth?
PELOSI: I do, yes. I do.
MICHAELSON: Why is that?
PELOSI: Because he's the President of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States.
Put aside the weird notion that the Democrats honor the Constitution. Michaelson did not ask if Trump is the worst thing on Earth, how would she rank rapists and terrorists? But no one fact-checks Nancy. Collins then asked the Biden flack to comment.
KAITLAN COLLINS: Do you think that's the right message for Democrats? I mean, what did you -- I don't think it's surprising that she feels that way to anyone watching, including probably people at the White House. But I wonder what you made of that -- her saying that now.
BEDINGFIELD: Yes, look, I mean, I think Nancy Pelosi has earned the right to say that. She's somebody who has gone up against President Trump many, many times, and has been a vocal -- she's been vocally aggressive about some of the things that he's done, that she believes have really torn at the foundation of the country.
So, I think she's more than earned the right to say that. I don't think anybody watching was surprised to see her say it. I think as she's getting ready, potentially, to retire, she has more than earned the right to speak her mind.
Wow, how many times can you repeat the same thought?
Collins closed out: "Kate Bedingfield. And Kevin Madden. Thank you both for speaking your minds here." She didn't allow Madden to comment on Pelosi. Sorry, so pressed for time!
