‘What A Ridiculous Clown Show’: Pelosi Confuses Multiple Things During Interview

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to confuse multiple things during an interview over the weekend when she was asked about two IRS whistleblowers testifying in front of Congress last week.

Pelosi made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Dana Bash.

“This past week, two IRS whistleblowers, career investigators, testified under oath that the Justice Department slow-walked the investigation into President Biden’s son Hunter and ignored recommendations to file more serious felony charges,” Bash said. “Are you confident the politics did not play a role here?”

Pelosi responded by mixing up the hearing with the IRS whistleblowers and the hearing with Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, whom she called “Joe Kennedy.”

“Well, it was a — since you reference the hearing, what a ridiculous clown show, again, on the part of the Republicans,” Pelosi responded. “Here was a purpose that you described. What did they do? Bring in Joe Kennedy talking about censorship, that he’s being censored, as he’s talking to the world in a congressional hearing, and showing pictures that had nothing to do with the essence of it.”

When asked again if she believed that the Department of Justice was being fair in its investigation, Pelosi said that she had respect for whistleblowers but again called the hearing a “clown show” because of photos brought in by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and because of RKF Jr., who was not there.

“No, I’m not — I’m not confident of — about what the whistleblower said,” Pelosi said. “The U.S. attorney was a Trump attorney. This is their opinion. It was not the opinion of others there.”

Trump Stops Short Of Saying He’ll Cut Off Money To Ukraine

Former President Donald Trump declined to say in an interview that aired over the weekend that he would cut off funding to Ukraine.

The remarks were contained in the second part of an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that was recorded a little over a week ago.

“Look at all the money we’re giving to Ukraine and yet Ukraine was paying the Biden family a fortune,” Trump said referencing the military aide that U.S. is giving to Ukraine in its war against Russia and the alleged bribes that then-Vice President Biden received.

“Would you stop the money to Ukraine at this point?” Bartiromo asked.

“I’d get the war settled,” Trump responded. “The money is—, number one, I’d tell Europe, you gotta—, you’re about $100+ billion short. Okay? You gotta pay. Because Europe is smiling all the way to the bank. We’re giving all of these, this, Europe is doing very little compared to the United States. And it affects them more.”

Donald Trump won't say that he'll cut funding to Ukraine if elected president.

Trump faced some controversy when the first part of the interview aired last week after he told Bartiromo that he would try to end the war by in-part threatening Russian President Vladimir Putin that the U.S. would give Ukraine more weapons.

“I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good, with both of them. I would tell Zelensky, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to them more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day.”

“We’re gonna give [Ukraine] a lot. We’re gonna give them more than they ever got if we have to.”

Trump says he’ll give more weapons to Zelensky if Putin doesn’t agree to a peace deal.
