House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to push her favorite narrative that President Trump could refuse to leave the White House if he loses in November.
Pelosi appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with co-host Mika Brzezinski on Monday and spoke about President Trump’s interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace and if he will accept the election results even if it is not in his favor. The California Democrat declared that the president, in fact, be leaving the White House “whether he knows it yet or not.”
Trump’s remark that he would “have to see” what happens in November and the results of his reelection bid sparked an outcry from Democrats who have been beating the drum about the inane possibility that he will have to be physically removed.
“I have to see. Look … I have to see,” the President said during the interview on ”Fox News Sunday.” “No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign responded: “The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”
Pelosi jumped right in on Monday as Brzezinski gave her another platform to stoke the fears and continue to set up the narrative.
“The fact is whether he knows it yet or not, he will be leaving,” Pelosi said.
“Just because he might not want to move out of the White House doesn’t mean we won’t have an inauguration ceremony to inauguration a duly elected President of the United States,” she added, lacking any hint of self-awareness.
“And you know, I’m second in line to the presidency, just last week I had my regular continuation of government briefing,” Pelosi declared, referring to the possibility of her being sworn in as president if Trump and Vice President Mike Pence refused to concede the election by January 20 of next year in the event of a reelection loss.
“This might interest you because I say to them, this is never going to happen, God willing it never will, but there is a process,” she said.
The “process” Pelosi referred to apparently would allow Trump to be “fumigated” out of office if need be.
“It has nothing to do with the certain occupant of the White House doesn’t feel like moving and has to be fumigated out of there because the presidency is the presidency. It’s not geography or location so, so much for him,” she pompously added.
I wouldn’t spend so much time on it that’s a victory for him because then we’re not talking about your first and far more important subject, which is, what are we going to do to stop this vicious virus that is making an assault on our health, again, our lives, our livelihood and life of our democracy,” she said.
The Dems including failed 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have been dropping commentary about Trump not accepting a loss in November, further spreading the election conspiracy among the Resistance.
“Well, I think it is a fair point to raise as to whether or not, if he loses, he’s going to go quietly or not. And we have to be ready for that,” Clinton told “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah last week.
Needless to say, Nancy Pelosi’s ridiculous addition to the narrative earned her plenty of commentary on Twitter.
“Biden is hiring 600 lawyers. Will he accept the election results. He doesn’t appear to be ready to do so” conservative radio and television host Mark Levin tweeted.
