The Democratic Party is beginning to implode as Nancy Pelosi hits back at Bernie Sanders for criticism following Kamala’s loss

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has hit out at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for blaming Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss on Democrats “letting working families down.”

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party that has failed the working class would find that the working class has failed them,” the 83-year-old senator posted on social media just hours before Harris’ concession speech Wednesday .

“While Democratic leaders defend the status quo, the American people are angry and want change,” he wrote. “And they’re right.”

But Pelosi, 84, who remains a major figure in the Democratic Party, told the New York Times The Interview podcast On Thursday, she “completely disagreed” with Sanders and “disrespects” his comments.

She claimed that the Democratic Party’s “goal” is to support the working class, noting that Harris “got ahead of Bernie Sanders in Vermont.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed out at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for claiming the Democratic Party was “failing working-class voters.”

She said she has “great respect” for Sanders, “but I don’t respect him when he says the Democratic Party has failed working families. That’s where we are.’

Pelosi then went on to list what she sees as achievements under President Joe Biden’s administration.

“Under President Biden, for example, you see the rescue package, money in people’s pockets, shots in the arm, kids safe in school, working people back to work,” she said.

“What did, what’s his name, what did Trump do when he was president? One bill that provided a tax cut for the richest people in America.”

Instead, Pelosi suggested that cultural issues were responsible for Harris’ loss to former President Donald Trump.

“Guns, God and gays – that’s how they see it,” the former speaker said of Trump supporters.

“Guns, that’s a problem; gays, that’s a problem and now they’re making the trans issue a major issue in their priorities; and in certain communities, what they call God, what we call a woman’s right to choose.”

But Pelosi didn’t stop there; he placed some of the blame for Harris’ loss on Biden’s refusal to drop out of the race early.

It took weeks after his disastrous debate with Trump in June for Biden to end his campaign for president, and when he finally dropped out, he immediately endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination.

“If the president had come out sooner, there might have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi told the Times.

“The expectation was that if the president stepped aside, there would be an open primary, in which delegates from each state would vote on who they thought the Democratic nominee should be.

“And like I said, maybe Kamala, I think she would have done well in it [a primary] And [would have] been stronger in the future.

‘But we don’t know that. That did not happen,” she argued.

“And because the president immediately endorsed Kamala Harris, that made it virtually impossible to hold a primary at the time.

“If it had been much earlier, it would have been different,” she said, arguing that it is time to look ahead and stop thinking about what might have gone wrong.
