Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi daughter Alexandra has some choice words for First Lady Jill Biden as the family stews over her mother’s role in ousting President Joe Biden from his reelection campaign.
Pelosi’s daughter described the First Lady as ‘Lady McBiden,’ comparing her to Lady MacBeth, the evil wife controlling her husband’s kingdom from behind the scenes in the legendary Shakespeare play.
‘If I was Lady McBiden, I’d put on my big girl pants, play the long game and think about my husband’s legacy,’ Alexandra Pelosi told Politico.
Pelosi’s daughter reacted to the First Lady’s lament that the Bidens and Pelosi had been friends for 50 years, but was politically stabbed in the back after the president’s terrible debate performance in June.
‘We were friends for 50 years,’ said the first lady when asked about Pelosi by the Washington Post. ‘It was disappointing.’
Pelosi was a vocal proponent of Biden stepping out of the race, even going on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and raising doubts about whether he could continue even after he reasserted that he would stay in the race.
Pelosi’s daughter indicated that the Bidens should be grateful that her mother was still praising the president for his legacy.
‘There aren’t that many people left in America who have something nice to say about Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi is one of them,’ she said.

Alexandra Pelosi films documentaries including a special documentary on her mother in 2022 as she stepped down from Democratic leadership.
Exasperated Democrats are still stung by Biden’s failure to exit the race sooner, and are particularly frustrated by his repeated assertion that he still could have beaten Trump if he had stayed in the race.
Jill Biden was fiercely protective of her husband, publicly praising him for doing a ‘great job’ in the debate because he ‘answered every question.’
Pelosi privately met with Biden at the White House on July 10 to express her concerns about his future, Politico reported, even after Biden insisted he would remain in the race.
Biden was insistent that he could still win, but he had lost Pelosi’s confidence, which he needed if he was going to keep running for reelection

Publicly Pelosi praised Biden as a president with an historic legacy, arguing he should be put on Mount Rushmore after he made the decision to bow out of the race.
‘He was in a good place to make whatever decision – the top of his game,’ Pelosi said. ‘Such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president of the United States.’
The Bidens, however, will never forget how Pelosi moved behind the scenes to force him out.
When Pelosi broke her hip during a trip to Europe in December, the Pelosi family pointedly noted that the Bidens did not contact her to offer their support and concerns, Politico reported.
