Nancy Pelosi’s daughter admitted several flaws in the Democratic presidential nominating process this year, and said Hillary Clinton’s campaign dropped the ball when it came to using data.
Christine Pelosi told Fox Business on Tuesday the problems with the Democratic campaign dated back to last summer.
“The Democratic National Committee officials who were trying to limit the number of debates were making a mistake, and I told them that several times,” she said.
Pelosi added that top Democratic officials refused to endorse a “robust economic message,” and passed on adopting a resolution to boost the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
She said cutting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign off from DNC databases in December 2015, after his campaign was caught hacking into Clinton’s campaign data, was an unnecessarily harsh penalty.
During the general election campaign, Pelosi said top Democratic officials didn’t take their reports seriously about the data they were collecting, and how the campaign should have used it.
“What was the targeting data, did they understand the report we gave to our congressional candidates in June about the places where Trump had done well,” she asked. “There were three things in common: stagnant wages … shuttered or changed due to globalization or automization (sic) or what they call white distress in the workplace.”
