Alert – Moment shifty-looking Nancy Pelosi fails to convince with her chant of ‘We love Joe’ during Biden’s swansong speech

Nancy Pelosi looked less than convincing chanting ‘Thank you, Joe’ during President Biden’s speech at the Democrat National Convention. 

The former speaker of the house faced questions as recently as earlier Monday night, wondering about her role in forcing Biden out of the 2024 election.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted her reaction to the chants in saluting the president’s work by fellow Democrats. 

One conservative cracked: ‘Holy smokes Pelosi looks guilty as hell chanting ‘we love Joe’ after leading the coup against him’. 

‘Nancy Pelosi is honestly so f***ing funny for standing there with her We Love Joe sign like she didn’t effectively end his political career,’ wrote another.

Pelosi brushed off questions about her under-the-radar feud with former top Biden adviser Anita Dunn on Monday. 

The former House speaker was instrumental in getting Biden to step down from the 2024 running, which frustrated some of the president’s top allies.

‘Nobody wants to have a fight with Nancy Pelosi at this time because we’re a united party,’ Biden’s former adviser Dunn, who is now working at a pro-Kamala Harris super PAC, said on CNN.

Pelosi shot back on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, saying that she ‘just wanted to win.’ 

‘I have my relationship with the president, and I just wanted to win this election. So if they’re upset, I’m sorry for them. but the country is very happy,’ she explained. ‘I don’t know who they are, but you know that’s their problem. Not mine.’ 

When pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash about her own involvement in Biden’s decision, she said her concern ‘was not about the president it was about his campaign’ and he ‘made the decision for the country.’

But when Tapper specifically asked Pelosi about Dunn’s comments on not wanting to pick a fight with her ‘at this time,’ Pelosi replied puzzlingly: ‘Sometimes you just have to take a punch for the children.’ 

Biden, in his own address Monday evening, said it’s ‘not true’ that he’s holding grudges.

The president admitted earlier this month that Pelosi’s concerns about other Democratic races contributed to his decision to exit the race. 

‘A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races,’ Biden said in his first interview since ending his reelection campaign.

‘And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say [something] … and I thought it’d be a real distraction,’ he said in the interview with CBS News Sunday Morning host Robert Costa.

A growing list of Democrats were calling for Biden to drop out of the race after his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in June.

The long-time Democrat leader admitted over a week ago that she pressured Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race because she feared he was no longer making his own decisions.

Pelosi, in an interview with the New York Times on Friday, stated that she intervened after a July 8 letter purportedly from Biden to Congress in which he re-affirmed his commitment to remaining in the election contest.

‘I didn’t accept the letter as anything but a letter,’ she said. ‘It didn’t sound like Joe Biden to me. It really didn’t.’

In the letter, Biden stated that he was ‘firmly committed’ to remaining in the race against Donald Trump as he sought to head-off calls to step aside following his disastrous debate performance and increasingly dismal polling.

Both long-time creatures of the Washington scene, Biden, 81, and Pelosi, 84, have known each other since the 1970s, but have not spoken since he dropped out of the race. 

Pelosi said that the timing of the letter grated on her because the president was preparing to host the NATO summit in DC.

Two days after the letter’s publication she appeared on Morning Joe and said: ‘It’s up to the President to decide if he is going to run. We’re all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short.’

Her suggestion that Biden had not made his decision, despite the letter two days prior, was seen as a clear indication that she wanted the president to drop out.

In her interview with the New York Times, Pelosi suggested that Biden had no hand in the letter, rather it was staff around him that were attempting to shore up support.

Last week, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that as Biden nursed his COVID infection in late July, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent an urgent message to the president: She was prepared to go public with her concerns that he could not defeat Donald Trump in November.

The ultimatum was clear: Drop out now – or Pelosi trashes her political ally, and friend of over 50 years, on the global stage.

Four sources with intimate knowledge of the situation independently claimed that such a message was relayed, with one particularly well-placed source saying that a phone call took place in which Pelosi told Biden she would publish brutal polling figures to back up her attack.

Either way, her demand was said to be so forceful that it sparked a ‘come to Jesus moment’ for the president, who only then began to draft the letter announcing his withdrawal.

Both Pelosi’s office and the White House officially denied that the pair spoke on the phone.

With her new memoir on sale, Pelosi has been doing the interview rounds, struggling to dodge questions about her strained relationship with the president.

On Sunday August 4, CBS anchor Lesley Stahl pressed the former speaker.

‘It’s been very well-reported that you were the leader of a pressure campaign [to convince Biden to step aside]?’ Stahl asked.

‘No, I wasn’t the leader of any pressure [campaign],’ Pelosi replied. ‘Let me say things that I didn’t do: I didn’t call one person.’

Then, in an interview with the New Yorker magazine last week, Pelosi admitted she was losing sleep over her rift with the president, that she was ‘praying’ their friendship could survive.

‘He knows I love him,’ she told CNN last Thursday.

For his part, Biden remains angry with how things transpired.

‘He was unhappy with how things went as there were calls for him to exit, but he is not spending time ruminating about that,’ a source said.

Indeed, it wasn’t just Pelosi who piled pressure on Biden to withdraw in the days and weeks following his disastrous TV debate with Trump.

Other party bigwigs, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, told Biden they no longer thought his candidacy was viable.

Next week, the party will officially leave the president behind.

Kamala Harris will be crowned as the nominee at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. But Biden won’t be there to pass the torch.

Instead, he’ll briefly address the crowd on Monday night, when many of the party’s big players will not yet have arrived, before swiftly leaving town and allowing Harris to hold court for the rest of the week.

Biden’s focus now is on ‘cementing his legacy’, one insider said.
