Nancy Pelosi Demands MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Ask If JD Vance Ever Saw Combat

Posted • August 7, 2024: When you've lost CNN, you know you're in trouble. In a speech about gun control, vice presidential candidate Tim Walz told a small crowd that he had carried weapons of war in combat.

There was "no evidence that any time that Walz was in the position of being shot at." At issue is Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance accusing Walz of stolen valor, and that must be disproved. Meanwhile, over on MSNBC, when Andrea Mitchell brought up the issue of Walz's claims, Nancy Pelosi demanded to know if Vance had ever been in combat. Had he? Well, had he? Mitchell didn't quite know. -- Nancy Pelosi: "Has JD Vance been in combat?" Andrea Mitchell informs her he served in the Marine Corps., where he was deployed to Iraq. -- Geez, a little touchy there, Nance?

If you want to see network media at work, here's Andrea Mitchell, a paid journalist, someone whose job it is to inform guests and audiences, unsure of Vance's service and station in Iraq. Just stunning ignorance and should be nowhere near a broadcast desk. She's the second one I've seen do this in the past 20 minutes. They could be the least curious human beings in history. At least she was sober this time on air.🍷 Was she? WAS SHE? Has Nancy Pelosi ever been sober on air? Way to do your homework Andrea! 🤡 Maybe she's like Harris and skips the daily briefings. (…)
