The View co-host Joy Behar said during an interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Wednesday that she’s “dreaming” of the day she can call the California Democrat “President Nancy Pelosi.”
“I’m dreaming of the day when we all say ‘President Nancy Pelosi,’” Behar said to Pelosi after the House speaker said she is praying that “everyone in line ahead of me gets well very soon.”
“I think that sounds really good,” Behar added. “But the polls are showing that Biden is ahead in key swing states. It’s very encouraging in many ways, Pennsylvania, et cetera, but I’m still worried that they could steal this election.”
Behar continued, “I know that the Russians are still involved. Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security just released a report warning that Russia is a key threat to the election. Now, we knew this going into 2016 too, and we saw how that turned out. This is why I’m not counting my chickens at all. I’m still nervous. People have to vote, and we have to win in a landslide. How concerned are you about that?”
Pelosi responded by alleging that the president will “lie, cheat, and steal” to win the election in November.
“Well, I’m concerned, but I don’t — my motto is we don’t agonize, we organize,” Pelosi said. “And I have no doubt that the president, in typical fashion, will lie, cheat, and steal to win this election. So, we are prepared for that. I’m sorry to have to say that, by dint of being speaker of the House and that he’s president of the United States, but that is the reality.”
Pelosi also suggested during her interview that Trump’s brain was negatively affected by medication the last time the two met and hinted that his advisers should intervene.
“The last time I had an interaction with the president was the State of the Union address, and after that … I said to my staff, I said, ‘I think he was medicated.’ There’s something wrong with how he came on and presented,” Pelosi said, adding that “there are enablers around the president, who really should know better, who should really know better” while also bringing up a possible “intervention.”
