'Enough!' Dem strategist accuses 'backstabbing' Pelosi of shifting attention to herself

A Democratic strategist blasted former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, accusing her of being a backstabber and shifting attention off Vice President Kamala Harris onto herself.

Chris Jackson took to the social media site X on Wednesday, ahead of day three of the Democratic National Convention, to air his grievances over a Washington Post report headlined "Pelosi makes no apologies at DNC for her role in Biden's ouster."

When asked if she has any regrets about her role in pushing President Joe Biden out of the race, Pelosi retorted: “Why would you ask me that question? You know, I’m a very deliberate person," according to the report.

The former House speaker said she has her "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 told the Post on Monday ahead of Biden's speech. “I don’t know who they are, but that’s their problem.”

The Post reported that some Democrats even wore their displeasure on their sleeve — or, at least, their lapel.

They have sported a pin with Pelosi’s face that says “The Godmother," according to the Post. The pin is a reference to the iconic "Godfather" series, reportedly symbolizing that she masterminded the ouster behind the scenes — a notion Pelosi has denied.

The report drew Jackson's ire.

"She's completely lost it," he wrote on X. "Not only is she relentlessly stabbing our president in the back, but she's also diverting attention from Vice President Harris with this nonsense."

Fellow Democrats weighed in and appeared divided on Jackson's post, with some suggesting the media and X are "dragging this out" while others agreed with rebuking Pelosi.

Most appeared to agree they, too, were "done with her."
