Nancy Pelosi BUSTED in nasty “racist” claim

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has gone off the deep end — and her latest nasty claim is so off-base, even The Washington Post is calling her a liar.

Pelosi went on MSNBC on Monday to accuse Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of being a racist. What she said had even The Post’s notoriously leftist-friendly fact checkers shaking their heads in disgust.

“Let me re­mind you that, when the Re­pub­lic­ans took pow­er — when President Obama was president of the United States — what Mitch McConnell said is, ‘The most im­port­ant thing we can do is to make sure he does not suc­ceed.’” Pelosi said on MSNBC’s AM Joy. “If that wasn’t a rac­ist state­ment! That is un­think­a­ble.”

“Well, a zom­bie claim em­er­ges from the dead a­gain. But it’s even ugli­er than usu­al,” The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler wrote in a piece refuting the claim.

The piece, titled, “Nancy Pelosi twists an old McConnell quote into a “racist statement’” blasts Pelosi and MSNBC’s nasty spin.

She made her com­ments in re­sponse to this ques­tion: “You’ve worked with Speaker Ryan, you know Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, why do you think they ha­ven’t spok­en up as lead­ers in the United States against some­thing as per­ni­cious as white su­prem­a­cy and rac­ism?”

(Note: McConnell on Aug. 16, 2017, is­sued this state­ment when white sup­rema­cists were re­port­ed to be plan­ning a ral­ly in Ken­tucky: “We can have no tol­er­ance for an i­de­ol­o­gy of ra­cial ha­tred. There are no good neo-nazis, and those who es­pouse their views are not sup­port­ers of American ideals and freedoms. We all have a re­spon­si­bil­i­ty to stand against hate and vi­o­lence, wher­ev­er it rais­es its evil head.”)

Pelosi did not di­rect­ly an­swer but in­stead harked back to this 2010 inter­view. But nowhere in McConnell’s com­ments can we find a line like: “The most im­port­ant thing we can do is to make sure he does not suc­ceed.” Drew Hammill, a Pelosi spokesman, said it was a par­a­phrase of this line: “The sin­gle most im­port­ant thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Hmmm. That ig­nores the rest of the con­ver­sa­tion: “If he’s will­ing to meet us half­way on some of the big­gest issues, it’s not in­ap­pro­pri­ate for us to do busi­ness with him. … I don’t want the president to fail; I want him to change.”
