“Anybody could have gotten in, she wrapped it up — you have to give her credit for that,” says former House Speaker.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi falsely claimed Kamala Harris won an “open primary” despite the fact she didn’t earn a single vote upon becoming the Democrat’s presidential nominee.
HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher poked fun at Pelosi for her role in forcing Joe Biden to step down from the 2024 race.
“Sometimes you’re discouraging people to run,” he smirked, referring to Biden’s exit.
Pelosi, unamused, retorted, “People make their own decisions.”
Maher said in a patronizing tone, “Absolutely they do. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you so much for what you didn’t do.”

After the crowd had a laugh at Biden’s expense, Maher then asked Pelosi, “When Joe stepped down, did you want it to be an open convention as opposed to going right to Kamala?”
Pelosi repled, “Many times I’m encouraging people to run, especially more women, to run for office…for Kamala, it was open. Anybody could have gotten in, she wrapped it up — you have to give her credit for that.”
When Biden finally stepped down in July, the DNC immediately tapped Harris for legal and practical purposes: the campaign finance framework dictated that hundreds of millions of dollars in donations pledged to Biden could only be transferred to Harris.
The DNC’s subversion of the Democratic process was so obvious that even Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked the coronation of Harris without a single vote.
“We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process,” he said sarcastically last week. “It was bottom-up, I don’t know if you know that. That’s what I’ve been told to say.”
🚨Wow. Gavin Newsom mocks the Democrats’ coronation of Kamala Harris:
Host: “How are you feeling about the switch?”
