No Labels slaps BACK at Nancy Pelosi after she claimed it would be a ‘threat to democracy’ to put up a third party candidate against Joe Biden

A nationwide group pushing for access to ballots for a third-party presidential candidate is hitting back at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after calling it “dangerous to our democracy.”

On a call with reporters Friday, the group said the polls show a public desire for a third-party alternative.

The pushback comes from former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, who is leading the group’s efforts to get out the vote in all 50 states — with access already achieved in a dozen states.

That comes after the California Republican stormed into the group, saying, “I hesitate to say No Labels because they do have labels. They are not called taxes for the rich. No child discount for children. They’re called ‘let’s undo the Affordable Care Act,'” she says smoked.

“If they are jeopardizing the re-election of Joe Biden as president of the United States, I can no longer remain silent about it,” the longtime Democrat said at an event hosted by Third Way, which itself warns that the group could pose a threat for the United States. President Biden’s re-election.

‘I say that without any hesitation. This is about creating an illusion, that it’s about impartiality and bringing people together,” Pelosi said.

“We have a substantial, real opportunity to secure a respected bipartisan ticket from a third party,” Nixon told DailyMail.com on a press call on Friday when asked about Pelosi’s comments.

“You have a lot of people who are going to say a lot of things that are part of the system as it exists. And I expect these kinds of comments to come from some elected officials in the coming weeks, months, and perhaps even years. But we’re answering a call here and we’re answering it in a very professional manner. And they certainly have the right to say whatever they want, but they should be honest when they criticize us. But when I say that going out and collecting signatures, getting someone to vote, and having candidates running for president and vice president is a threat to democracy, that’s not something that I think is necessary. It’s a response to the fact that we’re doing well.’

That came after the group’s co-chair, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, said it was “disheartening to see Nancy Pelosi literally making up stuff about No Labels to score political points.” She assigns No Labels positions they never held.”

The group does not yet have a candidate, but has drafted a “common sense” policy booklet and is working on its massive ballot access initiative.

‘Do we expect to post a ticket? The answer to that is yes,” No Labels chief strategist Ryan Clancy said on the call.

That worries some Democrats about a race in which former President Donald Trump is leading Biden in a number of head-to-head polls.

Biden already faces a Democratic challenge in New Hampshire, where Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips filed to challenge him in the primaries. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now running as an independent, and Cornel West is also trying to win the presidency from the left, with the prospect of peeling away some African American and left-wing voters.

But Clancy said there is no guarantee that the yet-undetermined party candidate would draw more from Democrats than Republicans.

‘The taste of the independent is important. Who they draw from will be determined by what type of candidate they are,” he said.
