The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; freaked out during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast, panning The New Yorker&#8217;s latest cover art over its apparent insinuation that former House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) was &#8220;too old&#8221; for elected office.
Cohost Joy Behar started the conversation about the cover, which was meant to show politicians too old for public office and included — alongside Pelosi — President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Whoopi Goldberg referenced the Axios report published early Tuesday — which said Biden&#8217;s team was pulling out all the stops to remove trip-hazards from his path and keep him from falling and getting hurt — and then pivoted to the magazine&#8217;s cover art.
&#8220;I hate that cover. Why do they have to put Nancy Pelosi in there?&#8221; Behar asked. &#8220;Nancy Pelosi, if you watch any of her interviews, she&#8217;s as sharp as a tack, as they say. She makes sense, she keeps getting re-elected by 80% of the constituency.&#8221;
Goldberg suggested that it didn&#8217;t matter whether or not Biden fell down, adding, &#8220;Joe Biden can fall down 55 times, that&#8217;s not going to make me think he can&#8217;t do the job.&#8221;

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) repeatedly refused to say whether Vice President Kamala Harris was the best option as a running mate for President Joe Biden — should he continue to run for re-election.
Pelosi made the remarks during an interview on Wednesday night with Anderson Cooper on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Anderson Cooper 360°.&#8221;
&#8220;Is Vice President Kamala Harris the best running mate for this president?&#8221; Cooper asked.
&#8220;He thinks so, and that’s what matters,&#8221; Pelosi responded.
When asked again if Harris was the best running mate for Biden, Pelosi answered, &#8220;And by the way, she’s very politically astute. I don’t think people give her enough credit. She’s, of course, values-based, consistent with the president’s values and the rest.&#8221;
&#8220;And people don’t understand. She’s politically astute,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Why would she be vice president if she were not? But when she was running for attorney general in California, she had 6% in the polls – 6% in the polls. And she politically, astutely made her case about why she would be good, did her politics, and became attorney general. So, people shouldn’t underestimate what Kamala Harris brings to the table.&#8221;
Cooper again asked Pelosi, &#8220;But do you think she is the best running mate though?&#8221;
Pelosi answered, &#8220;She’s the vice president of the United States. People say to me, &#8216;Well, why isn’t she doing this or that?&#8217; I say, &#8216;Because she’s the vice president.&#8217; That’s the job description. You don’t do that much.&#8221;

Politics

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the 83-year-old former House speaker, announced Friday that she will run for re-election. 
The congresswoman has represented San Francisco since 1987 and is currently the sixth oldest member of the House. Pelosi’s announcement puts questions surrounding her future to rest after many speculated she would retire after serving out her current term, which ends in January of 2025. 
“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,” Pelosi <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamPelosi/status/1700177174542876754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X. “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.” 
After losing her speakership when Republicans gained control of the House last November, Pelosi stepped down from House leadership, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/08/nancy-pelosi-running-reelection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> that it was time “for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect.” Many speculated Pelosi’s time in Congress was coming to an end after her announcement in November and the attack on her husband Paul that took place a month prior. 
Paul Pelosi <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/09/07/bidens-big-goals-for-the-g-20-00114421">said</a> his wife had signaled she would retire from public service when she reportedly said she wasn’t interested in being ambassador to Italy, a position she was rumored to be given upon leaving Congress. 
“It wouldn’t go away but she was very clear,” he said of Nancy’s reaction to the possibility. “‘I don’t want the job, I’m done, I’m done.’”

Despite her age, Pelosi remains a powerful voice and fundraiser for the Democratic Party. Her announcement of a re-election campaign comes as Democrats face an uphill battle to retake the House and maintain control of the Senate in the 2024 election. 
Questions have swirled around the mental ability of aging Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill. 
Senate Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-says-he-will-finish-senate-term-after-freeze-up-scares" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitch McConnell</a> (R-KY) worried colleagues and voters after freezing mid-sentence during a press conference for the second time last week, while Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feinstein-appears-to-have-awkward-moment-reads-speech-during-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dianne Feinstein</a> (D-CA) has faced health struggles and mental lapses after being absent from D.C. for 10 weeks while she recovered from the shingles virus. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has fallen, appeared lost, and said undistinguishable words multiple times while appearing in front of crowds and the press.

Democrats

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA), the former Speaker of the House, claimed in an interview this week that supporters of former President Donald Trump do not value the dignity for everyone.
Pelosi made the remarks during a Thursday interview with Bloomberg Television while in Venice, Italy.
When asked if there was a Republican candidate who she could live with becoming the president, Pelosi responded, &#8220;I&#8217;m not into Republicans. I&#8217;m into the Democrats.&#8221;
&#8220;And hopefully the Republican Party can find a candidate that the American can live with, I say to the Republicans all the time, take back your party,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The Republican Party is a great party. You&#8217;ve done great things for our country. You&#8217;re not a &#8212; you&#8217;re not a cult to a thug. You&#8217;re a great Grand Old Party and recapture that because the public that &#8212; America needs a strong Republican Party, a strong Democratic Party, too, but strong Republican Party.&#8221;
Pelosi then called Trump&#8217;s hold on the party a &#8220;cancerous situation&#8221; and that she hopes the party can move past him.
She then attacked Trump&#8217;s supporters, claiming that he was only &#8220;popular with his group.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s interesting to see how there’s a certain element of the population who would just go for him,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They’re people we would probably never get. They don’t share our values in terms of respect for the dignity and worth of every person and the rest.&#8221;
Pelosi took a further shot at Trump supporters, saying that they were &#8220;afraid&#8221; of change because &#8220;they don’t see a place for their families in the future.&#8221;

&#8220;They’re concerned about globalization, they’re concerned about immigration, they’re concerned about innovation,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;They’re concerned about diversity, women, minorities, LGBTQ, other people coming into the leadership arena, and that’s to be respected.&#8221;

House Republicans may lean on a tactic used by former House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) to push forward an impeachment inquiry into President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> without majority support in the chamber, according to a new report.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has spoken with other members of the Republican caucus in recent weeks to formulate a strategy on an impeachment inquiry into Biden. The House Speaker does not yet have the votes in the House to bring an inquiry up for a vote in the chamber, however, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/28/politics/mccarthy-biden-impeachment-strategy/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.
McCarthy is on a fairly tight timeline since he hopes to start the impeachment inquiry by the end of September. In order to save his moderate members a vote on the impeachment inquiry, McCarthy and other top Republicans are considering a precedent started by Pelosi: beginning the inquiry first, then bringing it up for a vote later, sources told CNN.
There is no constitutional requirement that an official impeachment inquiry begin with a vote in the chamber. Pelosi broke historical precedent, however, in unilaterally announcing an official impeachment inquiry into former President Donald Trump.
“Today, I am announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi said ahead of Trump’s first impeachment. She <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/pelosi-announce-formal-impeachment-inquiry-trump-n1058251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> various House investigations already ongoing into Trump would be folded under the “umbrella” of an official impeachment inquiry.
The announcement saved some in the Democratic caucus from taking a vote that may have drawn backlash from their constituents. Pelosi’s move at the time generated furious reactions from Republicans who said the inquiry should be approved by a majority of the House.

Former Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) said in a social media post at the time that “claiming the House is conducting an impeachment inquiry doesn’t make it so. Until the full House votes to authorize an inquiry, nobody is conducting a formal inquiry.”
The impeachment inquiry went forward for over a month before it was brought up for and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/politics/house-impeachment-vote.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a vote in the House.
McCarthy is now considering a similar strategy that would protect moderate members of his caucus elected in Biden-leaning areas from taking a controversial vote that could get them in trouble with voters. Since Pelosi edged around the customary rules in the Trump impeachment, Republicans appear ready to accept an official inquiry launched under similar circumstances.
“I don’t believe that a vote of the House is required to open an impeachment inquiry,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told CNN.

The 77-year-old former president was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-grand-jury-indicts-trump-over-alleged-efforts-to-overturn-election">charged</a> with Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, and Conspiracy Against Rights.
&#8220;I purposely didn’t comment on Nancy Pelosi’s very weird story concerning her husband, but now I can because she said something about me, with glee, that was really quite vicious,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110842705795010789">posted</a> on social media. &#8220;&#8216;I saw a scared puppy,&#8217; she said, as she watched me on television, like millions of others, that didn’t see that.&#8221;
&#8220;I wasn’t &#8216;scared.&#8217; Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say!&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick &amp; demented psycho who will someday live in HELL!&#8221;
Pelosi made the remarks during an <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/nancy-pelosi-claims-trump-looked-like-a-scared-puppy-at-dc-arraignment-got-to-face-the-music/">interview</a> last week on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell while discussing the latest indictment filed against the former president.
“I wasn’t in the courtroom, of course. But when I saw his coming out of his car and this or that, I saw a scared puppy,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;He looked very, very, very concerned about the fate. I didn’t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. He knows he knows the truth, that he lost the election and now he’s got to face the music.”
“I’m very proud of the work of the January 6th committee, which laid the foundation, created a path for us to get to this place, to seek the truth,” she added.

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&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; with host Dana Bash.
&#8220;This past week, two IRS whistleblowers, career investigators, testified under oath that the Justice Department slow-walked the investigation into President Biden&#8217;s son Hunter and ignored recommendations to file more serious felony charges,&#8221; Bash said. &#8220;Are you confident the politics did not play a role here?&#8221;
Pelosi responded by mixing up the hearing with the IRS whistleblowers and the hearing with Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, whom she called &#8220;Joe Kennedy.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, it was a — since you reference the hearing, what a ridiculous clown show, again, on the part of the Republicans,&#8221; Pelosi responded. &#8220;Here was a purpose that you described. What did they do? Bring in Joe Kennedy talking about censorship, that he&#8217;s being censored, as he&#8217;s talking to the world in a congressional hearing, and showing pictures that had nothing to do with the essence of it.&#8221;
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 &#8220;clown show&#8221; because of photos brought in by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and because of RKF Jr., who was not there.
&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not — I&#8217;m not confident of — about what the whistleblower said,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;The U.S. attorney was a Trump attorney. This is their opinion. It was not the opinion of others there.&#8221;

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) said during an interview over the weekend that President Joe Biden&#8217;s economic plan was working but that the president needed to explain that to people to make sure that &#8220;American people know.”
Pelosi made the remarks during an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; with host Dana Bash.
Bash rattled off a series of economic metrics that she said were positive news for the Biden administration and then asked Pelosi why the numbers do match Americans&#8217; sentiment about the economy that is reflected in polling.
&#8220;Well, a lot of it&#8217;s about messaging, of course,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;I&#8217;m so proud of this president. In the two years that we were in the majority working with him, he broke all records, on the level with a Lyndon Johnson or a Franklin Roosevelt, in terms of the caliber of legislation that he passed for the good of the people, lowering prescription drugs, again, cutting in half – as you indicate, cutting in half unemployment.&#8221;
Pelosi said that the alleged success that the administration has had &#8220;has to be messaged&#8221; for Americans to know its true, even if the reality that the experience does not reflect the messaging from the Biden administration.
&#8220;This president did such a remarkable job,&#8221; Pelosi claimed. &#8220;He is a person of such knowledge, such vision for the country, such knowledge of the issues, such strategic thinking and such a legislator, and, on top of it all, a person who connects with the American people.&#8221;
&#8220;He just has to get out there,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s a busy job being president. I can say that as being speaker. You&#8217;re doing your work. But he&#8217;s just going to have to make sure the American people know at that kitchen table what this means to them, in terms of jobs and pay, reducing inflation.&#8221;

Pelosi: Bidenomics Is Working, Americans Just Don’t Know It Because Biden Has Not Told Them

Economy

Former Speaker of the House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) dismissed President Biden’s age being an issue on the campaign trail on Wednesday, despite many Americans believing he’s too old to be commander-in-chief.
During an <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/nancy-pelosi-brushes-concerns-over-biden-age" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appearance</a> on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Pelosi, an 83-year-old congresswoman, defended the president and touted his tenure by saying the country has been “very well-served” by his time in office. She insisted that age should not be an issue with 80-year-old Biden, arguing that it’s “relative.” 
&#8220;I think the president should embrace his age, his experience, the knowledge he brings to the job,” Pelosi said. “Actually, the leader on the other side is not much younger. I don’t like to use his name, but you know who I mean. He’s not that much younger,” she continued, referring to former President Donald Trump.
“So I don’t think – age is a relative thing. It is – and I think this president, our country is very well served by his leadership, again, his experience, his knowledge, and it counts for a lot,” Pelosi claimed.
Pelosi went on to say that Biden has “unfinished business” and that she was proud of the job he’s done so far as president, a view most Americans disagree with. According to FiveThirtyEight’s <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a> of polls, Biden is currently sitting at 54.5% disapproval, while 41.2% of Americans approve of the job he’s done.
During the interview, Pelosi mentioned recently meeting with screenwriter Norman Lear, who is 100 years old, and 94-year-old architect Frank Gehry, as justification for Biden’s age being a non-issue in the campaign.
“[Lear] was telling me some new shows he was involved in, I had a meeting with Frank Gehry, a 90- something architect, showing me new buildings he’s building throughout the world and they were like ‘80, he’s a kid,” Pelosi said. “I was like yeah. It is relative. He’s younger than I am, so he’s a kid to me as well.”

President Biden would be 86 years old at the end of a potential second term. He’s already the oldest president in the history of the United States. Prior to Biden, President Ronald Reagan was the oldest president, finishing his second term at 77 years old. According to <a href="https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/arts-culture/3744771-here-are-the-oldest-us-presidents-to-ever-hold-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Changing America</a>, at swearing-in, the average age of American presidents is 55.
Trump, the current frontrunner for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, is 77 years old and would be 83 at the end of a second term.
A Washington Post-ABC News <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/tablet/2023/05/05/april-28-may-3-2023-washington-post-abc-news-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> in May found that a majority of voters, 68%, believe Biden is &#8220;too old&#8221; for another term, while 44% said the same for Trump.
Pelosi concluded the interview by saying making age an issue in the campaign is just an “excuse.”
&#8220;It&#8217;s not a reason, it&#8217;s an excuse and I think that we just have to get on with this election for the children, for the people,&#8221; she claimed.

Nancy Pelosi Says 80-Year-Old Biden Is Just ‘A Kid’ To Her

2024 Election

Chief Justice John Roberts quoted former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the majority opinion — released on Friday — that struck down President Joe Biden&#8217;s student debt cancellation program.
The program, which was designed to forgive up to $10,000 in federal student loans for borrowers whose incomes were below a certain threshold — up to $20,000 if they had been Pell Grant recipients — was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-delivers-defeat-to-biden-admin-on-student-loan-forgiveness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled unconstitutional</a> by a 6-3 margin, with Roberts saying that the COVID-era HEROES Act did not give Joe Biden the authority to act unilaterally on the issue.
&#8220;The Secretary asserts that the HEROES Act grants him the authority to cancel $430 billion of student loan principal. It does not. We hold today that the Act allows the Secretary to ‘waive or modify’ existing statutory or regulatory provisions applicable to financial assistance programs under the Education Act, not to rewrite that statute from the ground up,&#8221; Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
The Chief Justice went on to use a statement made by Pelosi to bolster his point, noting that she had agreed Biden had the authority to make some changes in the time or manner that payments were made, but not to waive them altogether.
&#8220;People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,&#8221; she said in July of 2021. &#8220;He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.&#8221;

Despite her apparent misgivings at the time, Pelosi later appeared to support the plan. In August of 2022, just over a year later, she cheered Biden&#8217;s efforts in a tweet, saying, &#8220;@POTUS’ bold action is a strong step in Democrats’ fight to expand access to higher education. By delivering historic targeted student debt relief to millions of borrowers, more working families will be able to meet their kitchen table needs as they recover from the pandemic.&#8221;

Supreme Court

Leftist politicians and pundits expressed rage on Thursday after a landmark Supreme Court decision was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-issues-landmark-ruling-on-affirmative-action-at-universities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> that struck down the race-based admission policies of Harvard and the University of North Carolina. 
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court court ruled that the race-based admissions programs at the schools violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, drawing the ire of prominent Democrat politicians and leftist commentators.
Former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the ruling diminished &#8220;hard-fought progress for racial justice.&#8221;
&#8220;Chief Justice Roberts’ majority opinion does violence to justice and fairness in America,&#8221; she <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1674443650216910849" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Twitter. &#8220;In contrast, Justice Jackson’s powerful dissent is inspiring to us, as we continue to fight to widen the path to success for all Americans.&#8221;
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the decision was &#8220;misguided.&#8221; &#8220;The Supreme Court ruling has put a giant roadblock in our country&#8217;s march for racial justice,&#8221; Schumer <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-statement-on-supreme-court-decision-on-affirmative-action" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;The consequences of this decision will be felt immediately and across the country, as students of color will face an admission cycle next year with fewer opportunities to attend the same colleges and universities than their parents and older siblings.&#8221;
Former President Barack Obama said the court&#8217;s ruling would hamper minorities&#8217; educational opportunities.
&#8220;Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions – it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our effort,&#8221; Obama <a href="https://barackobama.medium.com/our-statements-on-the-u-s-supreme-courts-decision-to-overturn-affirmative-action-2e161f52b5d1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
ABC News commentator and former acting Democratic National Committee chair <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donna-brazile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donna Brazile</a> said that the justices that supported the decision &#8220;whitewash the Constitution.&#8221;
“I am shocked by the fact that in the majority opinion, they basically whitewash the Constitution in a way that basically says we were right all along. The 14 Amendment, the equal protection clause, would guarantee us a color-blind society,” she said. “And now the most effective tool, an affirmative tool, to eliminate barriers, a tool that would give us opportunity is now weakened.”

Activist and MSNBC commentator Al Sharpton also lamented the decision.
&#8220;I think that this is tantamount to sticking a dagger in our back because what they have said now is that it is unconstitutional to even consider race,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is completely a throw to the wind the history of why we needed affirmative action in the first place.&#8221;

The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, said that universities could allow applicants to mention personal experiences of racism when applying for colleges, but that there could not be explicit policies based on the applicant&#8217;s race. 
“Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it,” Roberts <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in the opinion for the majority.
The ruling came after a group called Students for Fair Admissions <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/scotus-hinting-it-might-throw-out-affirmative-action-used-in-college-admissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> the schools, accusing the institutions of unfairly factoring race into their admissions processes. The group pointed to the high test scores of Asian-American and white applicants who were rejected.

The court’s decision was widely celebrated by conservatives, who said it was a win for merit-based academic admissions. 
“Affirmative action is systemic discrimination. I’m thankful the Supreme Court held this discrimination violates the constitution [sic]. Admissions should be decided on merit — not by color of skin,” Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenTomCotton/status/1674425866645012488" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Twitter. 
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) <a href="https://twitter.com/chiproytx/status/1674426297530093568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> conservatives should be careful not to allow universities to get around the ruling. 
“When the schools still take steps to accomplish the race-based objective, will we still fund higher ed at high levels and subsidize loans to those schools?  Asking for a friend…,” he said.

Affirmative Action

Donna Brazile

An outspoken Catholic bishop in Texas who has harshly condemned President Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, even referencing Biden’s “fake Catholicism,” was targeted with an apparent investigation by the Vatican.
Bishop Joseph Strickland, of Tyler, has routinely slammed Biden on social media, including earlier this year when the president cited Pope Francis to buttress his claim that federal funding for abortions should continue.
 “Mr. Biden can’t be allowed to twist the words of Pope Francis in this way,” Strickland tweeted. “I implore the Vatican press office to emphatically clarify that Pope Francis rightly calls abortion murder. It is time to denounce Biden’s fake Catholicism.”

In March, Strickland called the Biden administration corrupt.
“As our corrupt Biden-lead [sic] government slides closer to collapse it becomes more critical that we get our spiritual house in order,&#8221; he wrote on Twitter. &#8220;Repent, turn to God, atone for your sins &amp; resolve to live the truth no matter what, Jesus is about eternity.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Responding to an article this week noting Pelosi’s support for abortion, Strickland tweeted, “Pray for her heart &amp; the hearts of many to turn from the ways of death and embrace the way of the Lord of Life, Jesus Christ.”

Strickland has not been averse to criticizing the Pope, either. In May he wrote, “I believe Pope Francis is the Pope but it is time for me to say that I reject his program of undermining the Deposit of Faith. Follow Jesus.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Earlier this month, Strickland joined a eucharistic procession and prayer rally in Los Angeles to protest the Los Angeles Dodgers’ presenting an anti-Catholic group at the team’s annual Pride Night game.
After that, Strickland noted a photo of a gay pride parade where naked men appeared in front of children, tweeting, “It’s imprudent to speak out against this wonton evil? I disagree. I believe the imprudence is that their [sic] is not a might roar from people of faith saying, ‘These atrocities against our innocent children CANNOT be tolerated.”

The apostolic visitation was reportedly headed by Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas of Tucson and Bishop Dennis Sullivan of Camden, N.J.
On Thursday, in the wake of the alleged investigation, Strickland tweeted, “The greatest blessing &amp; joy in my life is to shepherd the flock of Tyler.
