Moment shifty-looking Nancy Pelosi fails to convince with her chant of ‘We love Joe’ during Biden’s swansong speech

Nancy Pelosi was less than convincing when she chanted “Thank you, Joe” during President Biden’s speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The former House Speaker was asked questions Monday night about her role in banning Biden from the 2024 election.

Attentive viewers could see her reaction to the chants of her fellow Democrats praising and approving the president’s work.

One conservative responded: “What guilt Pelosi must have for chanting ‘we love Joe’ after leading the coup against him.”

“Nancy Pelosi is so f***ing funny standing there with her We Love Joe sign like she didn’t actually end his political career,” wrote another.

Pelosi on Monday brushed aside questions about her secret feud with former top Biden adviser Anita Dunn.

The former House speaker played a key role in Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, much to the frustration of some of the president’s key allies.

“Nobody wants to mess with Nancy Pelosi right now because we are a united party,” Biden’s former adviser Dunn, who now works at a pro-Kamala Harris super PAC, said on CNN.

Pelosi responded on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago by saying she “just wanted to win.”

“I have my relationship with the president and I just wanted to win this election. So if they’re angry, I feel sorry for them. But the country is very happy,” she explained. “I don’t know who they are, but you know that’s their problem. Not mine.”

When pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash about her own involvement in Biden’s decision, she said her concern was “not about the president, it’s about his campaign” and that he had “forced the president” to accept Biden’s decision.‘The decision for the country.’

But when Tapper asked Pelosi specifically about Dunn’s comments that he didn’t want to get into a fight with her “right now,” Pelosi responded enigmatically: “Sometimes you just have to take a hit for the kids.”

Biden said in his speech Monday night that it is “not true” that he holds a grudge.

The president admitted earlier this month that Pelosi’s concerns about other Democratic elections played a role in his decision to withdraw from the race.

“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and the Senate thought I would hurt them in the election,” Biden said in his first interview since ending his re-election campaign.

“And I was concerned that if I stayed in the race, that the topic would be — you would interview me about why Nancy Pelosi said [something] “…and I thought it would be a real distraction,” he said in the interview with CBS News Sunday Morning host Robert Costa.

A growing group of Democrats demanded that Biden withdraw from the race after his disastrous performance in the debate against Donald Trump in June.

The longtime Democratic party leader admitted more than a week ago that she pressured Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race because she feared he would no longer make his own decisions.

Pelosi said in an interview with The New York Times on Friday that she intervened after Biden sent a July 8 letter to Congress reiterating his commitment to the election.

“I didn’t accept the letter as anything other than a letter,” she said. “It didn’t sound like Joe Biden to me. It really didn’t.”

In the letter, Biden said he was “determined” to stay in the race against Donald Trump, to avoid calls for him to step aside after his disastrous debate performance and increasingly poor poll numbers.

Both longtime Washington fixtures, Biden, 81, and Pelosi, 84, have known each other since the 1970sbut have not said anything since he withdrew from the race.

Pelosi said the timing of the letter irritated her as the president prepared for the NATO summit in Washington, D.C.

Two days after the letter was published, she appeared on Morning Joe and said, “It’s up to the president to decide whether he’s going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running out.”

Her suggestion that Biden had not yet made a decision despite the letter two days earlier was seen as a clear sign that she wanted the president to back down.

In her interview with the New York Times, Pelosi said that Biden had no hand in the letter, but that it was aides around him who were trying to drum up support.

Last week, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that while Biden was battling his COVID infection in late July, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent an urgent message to the president: She was prepared to go public with her concerns that he would not be able to defeat Donald Trump in November.

The ultimatum was clear: leave the party now, or Pelosi will destroy her political ally and friend of more than 50 years on the world stage.

Four sources with intimate knowledge of the situation independently claimed that such a message was being conveyed. One particularly well-placed source said there had been a phone call in which Pelosi told Biden she would release brazen poll numbers to back up her attack.

In any case, her demand was so compelling that it gave the president a “moment of reflection.” Only then did he begin drafting the letter announcing his withdrawal.

Both Pelosi’s office and the White House officially denied that the two spoke on the phone.

Now that her new memoir is on sale, Pelosi is making the interview rounds, trying to dodge questions about her strained relationship with the president.

On Sunday, August 4, CBS anchor Lesley Stahl interviewed the former speaker.

‘There are many reports that you were the leader of a pressure campaign [to convince Biden to step aside]’ asked Stahl.

‘No, I was not the leader of any pressure [campaign]”, Pelosi responded. “Let me say things I didn’t do: I didn’t call one person.”

In an interview with The New Yorker magazine last week, Pelosi admitted she couldn’t sleep over the rift with the president and that she was “praying” their friendship would survive.

“He knows I love him,” she told CNN last Thursday.

Biden is still angry about the way things turned out.

“He was not happy with the way things were going because there were calls for him to leave, but he is not spending time thinking about that,” a source said.

It wasn’t just Pelosi, by the way, who increased pressure on Biden to withdraw in the days and weeks following his disastrous TV debate with Trump.

Other party leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, told Biden they no longer considered his candidacy viable.

Next week, the party will officially leave the president behind.

Kamala Harris will be crowned the nominee at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. But Biden won’t be there to pass the torch.

Instead, he will briefly address the crowd on Monday evening, when many of the party’s major players have not yet arrived, before quickly leaving town, leaving Harris to hold court for the rest of the week.

Biden is now focused on “consolidating his legacy,” an insider said.
