House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just admitted during a live interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that the threats posed by Russia and China during the upcoming presidential election "aren't equivalent" - because Russia is pulling for Trump, and China is pulling for Biden.
In an interview that was notably thin on details and heavy on rhetoric, Pelosi insisted that the American people's lack of an "understanding" about the reality of "foreign influence" in US elections is unquestionably the Trump Administration's fault. While administration officials, including the head of the FBI, have spoken out about steps being taken by the administration to root out foreign interference, Pelosi dismissed these attempts as not nearly hysteria-inducing enough.
While Pelosi couldn't give out too many details - "I can't divulge information that's classified" - but insinuated that this is part of an international plot to bend the election, just like last time.
But at one point, Pelosi accidentally let slip that Russia isn't the only state actor trying to influence the election. China is ramping up its efforts, too. And while Russia is standing by its man, China is pouring resources into pulling for Joe Biden (just like the rest of the American mainstream media).
"China would prefer Joe Biden..but .Russia is actively 24/7 interfering in our election, they did so in 2016 and they're doing so now, and [the administration says] that to a certain extent, but they need to tell the people more."
