Nancy Pelosi AGAIN tells Joe Biden not to debate Trump because ‘it’s a waste of time listening to him speak’
NANCY Pelosi again urged Joe Biden not to debate President Donald Trump because "it's a waste of time listening to him speak."
On Thursday morning, the House Speaker told reporters she didn't think there "should be any debates" because Trump wouldn't present "truth, evidence, data, and facts."
"Why I said he shouldn't debate him has nothing to do with Joe Biden. Joe Biden will be - he is great as a debater," Pelosi said.
"What it is is about how totally inappropriate, that's the nicest word I can think of, the president is," she continued. "He has not even the slight flirtation with truth, fact, evidence, data.
"The president has not shown any respect for the office that he holds. And I don't expect that he will have any respect for the debates for that office."
She said if Biden debated him, it would just be an “exercise in skullduggery” by Trump.
The first is scheduled for Cleveland, , on September 29; the second, in on October 7; the third, in on October 15, and in Nashville on October 22.
The will be on November 3 – but Trump's team wants the debates to take place earlier.
