It’s never a good sign when even CNN — the unofficial public relations arm of the Democratic Party — has to stop and fact-check one of their own. But that’s exactly what happened when Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the self-proclaimed “Speaker Emerita” (a made-up title only Washington Democrats could invent), wandered into a CNN interview this week and promptly started free-falling into incoherence.

From the first few minutes, it was clear Pelosi wasn’t exactly at the top of her game — unless the goal was to prove that octogenarian politicians shouldn’t still be running the country. Slurring, fumbling, and nervously licking her lips every few seconds, she stumbled her way through a series of nonsensical talking points that even host Dana Bash couldn’t let slide.

Let’s start with Pelosi’s attempt to redefine reality — her claim that the House’s continuing resolution (CR) to reopen the government somehow wasn’t clean. That’s right. The same bill that’s been voted on six times, with zero partisan riders, zero “poison pills,” and no Republican add-ons — Pelosi called that dirty.

For the record: it’s clean. Pure. Unadulterated. The only thing “dirty” here is the Democrats’ strategy — blocking funding because it doesn’t stuff in their pet projects, like COVID-era Obamacare subsidies that were supposed to be temporary.

Even Bash, who usually treats Pelosi like royalty, had to correct her on-air. Of course, Bash didn’t press as hard as she would’ve if it were a Republican making things up — but it was still a rare sight to see CNN gently tug on the leash.

Then came Pelosi’s biggest trainwreck: her defense of Virginia’s embattled Democrat nominee for attorney general, Jay Jones. For those keeping score, this is the same Jay Jones who allegedly fantasized about his political opponents and their children being murdered, lied about his legal experience, and got a sweetheart deal after driving 116 mph — an offense that should’ve landed him behind bars.

But in the mind of Pelosi, who once lectured Americans about “the soul of our democracy,” he’s apparently just fine. In her own words, he’s still “better on balance” than Republican AG Jason Miyares.

Let that sink in: Pelosi is fine with a man who talks about killing his opponents, but she thinks Donald Trump is “deranged” for wanting corrupt mayors and governors who break the law to face prison time. Classic Democrat logic — punish patriots, protect predators.

And then there was Pelosi’s grand finale. She tried to drop some kind of philosophical zinger about “truth,” claiming that Trump’s statements “don’t become true just because he says them.” That’s rich, coming from the woman who’s been spinning political fiction since the Bush administration. She never pointed out a single “lie” from Trump’s State of the Union speech — she just repeated the claim until it sounded profound. Spoiler: it wasn’t.

Pelosi’s meltdown wasn’t just another bad interview — it was a snapshot of what’s become of the Democratic establishment: detached, delusional, and drowning in its own contradictions. The same people who accuse Trump of “undermining democracy” are now defending violent radicals, spreading misinformation on live TV, and shutting down the government because they can’t get more spending for their friends.

So yes, even CNN had to reel her in this time. When the network that ran defense for Hunter Biden’s laptop finally starts correcting you, maybe it’s time to hang up the designer scarf and enjoy retirement — preferably somewhere far away from a camera.

Because if this interview proved anything, it’s that Nancy Pelosi’s political career — much like her logic — is running on fumes.
