#EndorseThis: Colbert Shudders At Nancy Pelosi Prediction

Watch Nancy Pelosi scare the hoo-ha out of Colbert when she flatly predicts a Democratic victory next Tuesday and “a great night for America.” Blanching at the “hex” laid on the midterm outcome by the minority leader, Stephen crosses himself, then offers to “sacrifice a goat” if necessary.

Pelosi is unfazed. A political veteran with “a very thick skin,” as she says, the former and perhaps future Speaker calmly lays out the stakes of this election, no less than defense of the Constitution itself.

On the receiver of one gun, the killer had painted a swastika right next to the engraved name of the store where he bought it, Palmetto State Armory. It’s just one month after the killings occurred. Memories are strong, and emotions in the Black community are still raw.
