Pelosi doubles down on saying Biden should not debate Trump ahead of 2020 election: 'He doesn’t tell the truth'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has once again said she does not think former Vice President Joe Biden should debate President Donald Trump ahead of the November election, telling CBS on Friday morning: “Why bother? He [Trump] doesn’t tell the truth.”
The Democratic leader weighed into the race this week after having already previously said she was against the former vice president debating Mr Trump.
The House speaker has been an outspoken critic of the president, warning Americans to “ignore the lies” and “insist on the truth” as he began leading White House coronavirus press briefings earlier this year.
On Friday, she reignited those calls while slamming the president in an interview with Gayle King.
“Not that I don’t think [Mr Biden] would be excellent, I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth, and actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States,” she said. “He and his henchmen are a danger, but their comments are a danger to our democracy.”
She added: “Why bother? He doesn’t tell the truth, he isn’t committed to our constitution.”
