Nancy Pelosi criticized the Senate’s early-morning confirmation of Todd Blanche as attorney general, calling for a Justice Department that would not protect the president or his allies. Twitchy presents her post as hypocritical and highlights online criticism of it.
The article reports that Pelosi posted on August 8 that Republicans had confirmed Donald Trump’s personal lawyer “under the cover of darkness” and warned that the Justice Department should not be weaponized to protect the president. The article says the Senate confirmed Blanche as attorney general in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Twitchy argues that Pelosi’s criticism invited comparisons to Democrats’ past legislative activity, including the article’s claim about the Affordable Care Act’s passage on Christmas Eve. It also includes critical reactions from social media users and mocks Pelosi’s complaint.
