The race on the Democratic side for the presidential nomination has been a masterclass in showing us how craven and power-mad the Democrats are. They showed in extraordinary ways that they will do anything to hold onto power when they rejected the votes of more than 14 million people and successfully put through a coup to shove Joe Biden to the side.
One of the main names reported in the pressure plot was Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

So it was interesting when CBS's Lesley Stahl actually asked Pelosi about the plot and whether she was the leader.
"Please tell us what you told President Biden to persuade him to step aside," Stahl asked.
Pelosi grinned creepily and said she's "never shared any conversations" with Biden publicly. Which pretty much confirms you did have conversations with him, you just don't want to say what you did.
Stahl said that the reports are that Biden is furious at her; "Is he?"
Pelosi replied, "Well, he knows that I love him very much." So much that you backstabbed him to try to hold onto control.
Even Stahl wasn't buying that malarkey from Pelosi. "I understand that you don't want to own this," she said. "But it is so well reported, you know, that you were the leader of a pressure campaign."
Pelosi claimed she wasn't the leader but then didn't quite complete the sentence, interrupting herself saying she would talk about things that she "didn't do."
"I didn't call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, I never called anybody," she said. That reads like her confessing to plausible deniability, "She could always say" -- what does that mean? Because they called you, because you went through other people, or dealt with Joe directly? What a slimy response that is -- how weaselly can she be?
Then Stahl asked her what did she know and when did she know it, "Had you seen a decline in Joe Biden and did you think he needed to step aside?"
Pelosi denied she'd seen any decline with a quick, clipped "No" and said it was "whatever he decides."
"But we have to have a more aggressive campaign," she added.
She then claimed that he was at the "top of his game" and so "consequential" in what he had done while occupying the office, worthy of "Mount Rushmore."
That was a bit much even for Stahl, who laughed and was incredulous. "Are you really saying that he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore? Lincoln and Joe Biden?"
"But you got Teddy Roosevelt up there, and he's wonderful. I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden," Pelosi bizarrely said.
Mount Rushmore? If you didn't already know she was full of it, that would tell you. But that's probably part of the deal. Biden steps aside only if they continually praise his legacy. But if he was so wonderful and there was no decline, then why did you shove him to the side? That of course makes no sense, you can't square that circle. Why are you then throwing the votes of more than 14 million people under the bus? She's like a not-very-smooth mafia boss when she's "attacking democracy."
People weren't buying it.
