On her 12:00 p.m. ET hour show on Friday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell assured viewers that she could personally “attest” to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “deep faith.” The host made the declaration while applauding the liberal leader’s denial that the impeachment push against President Trump was motivated by Democrats hating him.

Talking to Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, Mitchell bemoaned: “There was quite a moment with Nancy Pelosi yesterday, when a reporter from Sinclair asked her whether she was doing this because she hates the President....And she was really, I mean, very much taken aback by that, offended...”

Mitchell seized on Pelosi’s claim that the attempt to remove Trump from office was “a matter of the Constitution” and that the Speaker, “as a person of deep faith, which we know to be the case with her, really took offense at anyone questioning.”

“What was the reaction within the caucus to that very strong statement by the Speaker yesterday?” the anchor eagerly wondered. Lofgren responded in part:

...she did state the truth...A lot of people don’t understand the role that Catholic faith plays in Nancy Pelosi’s life. I do, and many of us in the Democratic caucus do. But I understood where she was coming from.

Mitchell seemed to count herself among those in the Democratic caucus: “I can attest to that, just from knowing her [Pelosi] off-camera over the years and decades, in fact. But that was just a moment, and it was a moment that really affected a lot of people.”

Later in the program, Mitchell teased even more fawning coverage of Pelosi: “And coming up, backwards and in high heels, Nancy Pelosi out-stepping the President, out-dancing the President after he taunts her with claims she had a ‘nervous fit.’ Do say? You don’t want to miss her response...”

In the segment that followed, the anchor played a soundbite of Pelosi denying to “hate” the President. Mitchell then cheered: “Take that! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she prays for the President.”

The idea that a liberal pro-abortion journalist like Andrea Mitchell would “attest” to the “deep faith” of a liberal pro-abortion politician like Nancy Pelosi is truly beyond parody.
