Exploiting Me Too BACKFIRED On Democrats, Nancy Pelosi SNAPS At Reporter For Calling Out Hypocrisy
Democrats are in trouble as Joe Biden struggles to answer the allegations against him. In an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, Biden struggled to defned his reasoning for withholding documents that could potentially exonerate him against these accusations.
Republicans demanded that Democrats be held to the same standard as Brett Kavanaugh and progressives held fast as well.
But the Democratic establishment immediately abandoned any notion of integrity.
In one instance Nancy Pelosi snapped at a reporter for calling out the double standard.
Republicans didn't ask for this standard, Democrats did.
They thought they could exploit the me too movement in order to target Republicans. But the GOP is not as easily swayed by these arguments and ultimately it had little effect on their base.
Democrats however are getting hit from both sides as progressives and conservatives demand a response.
