Years-old, fully grown normalcy bias is a tricky animal, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D) latest smorgasbord of socialist sobriquets in favor of California housing loans for “undocumented migrants” is a perfect example.
Appearing Friday with Bill Maher on his HBO program “Real Time,” Pelosi succeeded in not only avoiding the touchy matter of her role in perpetuating the centrally-controlled and utterly messed-up federal “immigration” system, she perpetuated the corrosive idea that government has an ethical role in providing home loans to people even as she invoked Ronald Reagan to fatuously add what she seemed to think was a patina of patriotism and Americana to the fantastic feast.
