Pelosi says it’s important to ‘understand the brilliance’ of Biden’s response to Russian invasion of Ukraine

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) touted President Joe Biden’s response to Russia launching an invasion of Ukraine, saying Friday that the president’s experience working on foreign policy has prepared him for an event like this.

Speaking to reporters, Pelosi highlighted the “brilliance” of Biden’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“I think it’s really important for people to understand the brilliance with which President Biden is conducting this,” Pelosi said, according to Fox News’ Chad Pergram. “This is a man who served decades as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. He knows the arena. He knows the personalities.”

This comes after the Speaker on Wednesday lauded Biden’s decision to impose sanctions on Russia.

“It’s stunning to see in this day and age a tyrant roll into a country. This is the same tyrant who attacked our democracy in 2016,” she said at a news conference, appearing to refer to the debunked theory that Putin interfered in the U.S. presidential election in 2016.  – READ MORE
