<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) praised on Thursday a speech that President Joe Biden gave this week that was widely panned as divisive as it referred to “domestic” enemies.</p>
<p>&#8220;We heard what the president said in his speech. And, it appeared that he – there was criticism from the upper chamber, from Mr. Durbin, saying that he went over – perhaps a little bit over the top a little bit,&#8221; a reporter said. &#8220;What are your thoughts on that? And, do you think that the president may have gone a little bit too far in trying to sell this particular bill to the American people and trying to get votes to try and get this passed by [inaudible] the filibuster?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No. I stand with the president. I think that I – I thought his speech was wonderful, and I stand with him in the fight for voting rights. No criticism of Mr. Durbin. He has to do what he has to do vis‑a‑vis his own Members and the rest,&#8221; Pelosi responded. &#8220;The only criticism I would make, too – I wouldn&#8217;t say criticisms, but observations. Nobody knows who Bull Connor [is]. You know, if we&#8217;re making the case to say, ‘We&#8217;re going to be with Martin Luther King or Bull Connor’ – who&#8217;s that? ‘If we&#8217;re going to be with Martin Luther King or [the people] – Martin Luther King and John Lewis, or the people who unleashed the fierce dogs on them’ – that&#8217;s who Bull Connor is. Strom Thurmond – none of us have a lot of happy memories about Strom Thurmond.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, again, since you asked my critique of the president’s speech, I thought it was fabulous,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;I come out, congratulate him for it. It was well‑received, even among those who had some apprehension of what&#8217;s going to happen with this, all of this, next. So, I thank him for it, and I stand with the president in the fight for voting rights.&#8221;</p>
