“She has never been good at the ‘talking out loud’ part of politics,” is how USA Today Washington Bureau Chief and longtime White House reporter Susan Page assessed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s skillset on Wednesday’s Late Show. And while she was responding to a more general question about the long-serving Speaker’s style from host Stephen Colbert, Page quickly applied that judgement to her attempt to explain Pelosi’s widely derided, what-the-hell-did-she-just-say? speech in the aftermath of the conviction of disgraced Minneapolis police officer and murderer Derek Chauvin. Colbert introduced the topic by terming Pelosi’s remarks, “tone-deaf,” and “inartful,” to which Page—author of the brand new Pelosi biography, Madame Speaker: Nanci Pelosi And The Lessons Of Power—herself politicly stated, “‘Inartful’ is a kind way to put it.”
