U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, was showing her age during a conversation with Hillary Clinton hosted by Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs — all 83 years.
Pelosi and Clinton engaged in a show of mutual flattery, with each heaping excessive praise on the other, but the former speaker stumbled when she almost called her partner in crime President Clinton, pausing long and hard as she tried to come up with a way to move forward without further embarrassment.
“Let’s start with this little matter of democracy, because I think you and I believe that it’s not just in our country, but that’s where we see it most clearly, there is a concerted effort to undermine some of the very foundations of democratic governance, of a democratic society,” Clinton said to Pelosi — never mind that we are not a democracy, which equates to mob rule, but a representative republic, which is an important difference.

“There’s research, some of it done by SIPA in this university, showing that half the world’s democracies are backsliding, and that includes, sadly, the United States. So, what do you, Nancy, view as the biggest threats and challenges facing our democracy and what are the opportunities to try to stop that backsliding and turn it around?” Clinton asked.
“Well, I appreciate that question, but I also appreciate your leadership in this regard when president –” Pelosi began, before catching herself. After throwing her hands up in the air, the Democrat paused for a significant amount of time, before adding, “my hope.”
“But when Secretary Clinton was in the Senate and first lady, but especially as secretary of State in more recent time – she has been and at that time implemented many things showing America’s support for democracy.”
She proceeded to create her own reality that Russian leader Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 election at the expense of Hillary Clinton because he feared her the “most.”
“It was her clarity and position to the present – Putin – present occupant leader of Russia, that made him turn around and ensure, in an illegal way, come out against her in her campaign and interference in our democracy by Vladimir Putin, because Hillary Clinton was the person he feared most in terms of his lack of democracy in Russia. That’s, I think, self-evident, so thank you for what you have done,” Pelosi said, speaking in the halting, disjointed manner that’s becoming her norm.
