Former House Speaker and current CA Rep. Nancy Pelosi is infamously considered by many—including President Joe Biden himself—to be the chief architect behind the movement to force him to abandon his reelection campaign over concerns he couldn’t win. That didn’t work out so well, however, as the Obama-Pelosi-Schumer-Jeffries cabal that took down a sitting president quickly found out that the next in line—Kamala Harris—was utterly unprepared for the job as his replacement.

Harris promptly faceplanted and lost the popular vote, the electoral vote, and all seven swing states.
Pelosi, not known for introspection, is suddenly back on the side of the president now that he has issued a sweeping blanket pardon for his son, Hunter. While the move has been almost universally panned, especially considering the fact that “honest, no one is above the rule of law” Joe Biden vowed for months that he would do no such thing, Nancy seems to be one of the few fans of Biden’s dirty deeds:
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated support for President Biden’s controversial move to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
Pelosi told The Hill on Wednesday when asked for her thoughts about the Hunter Biden pardon: “I support the president.”
I have to stop right there. “I support the president.” You mean, the one who you helped kick out of office? The gall on this lady is off the charts.
Flashback: “I did what I had to do… My concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign”:

Kingslayer: Biden Finally Speaks Out on Demise of Reelection Campaign, Mentions Pelosi’s Role
She seems to be in the minority of the prevailing opinion, however:

Asked if she supports the pardon specifically, Pelosi added: “The pardon, yes.”
The former Speaker’s comments stand in contrast to those from a wave of Democrats on Capitol Hill and beyond who have criticized President Biden’s move.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) posted that the pardon “was wrong,” while Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) said it puts “personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all.”
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, on Wednesday said he understood the impulse “as a father,” but “as someone who has spent a lot of time at this podium talking about the importance of respecting the rule of law, it’s disappointing.”
This hasn’t aged well, Nancy:

To me, the November 5 election marks the demise of the Obama-Pelosi-Schumer era, and they will soon fade into an inglorious history and will be remembered for putting warped progressive values ahead of the interests of American families. They just don’t seem to have realized yet that they are no longer relevant.
Meanwhile, I consider this to be one of the most despicable moments in the modern political era:

Whatever foolish pronouncements she and her ilk continue to make, it’s clear her moment has passed. Get off the stage, Nancy, and go enjoy some more California Chardonnay because your time is over. Do not run again in 2026—when you will be 86 years old—try showing some class, which has been so noticeably absent during your career.
The Pelosi era is over.
Is this you, Nancy?
