I’m all for dunking on octogenarian accomplices but a charitable reading of it would be (after he asked if they have plans to fight it) “uh, hello it’s Sunday morning, 36 hours after she died! We’re not there yet.”
Not that the DNC hasn’t probably been aware she was moments from death for a couple weeks already and of course should do everything in their power if they actually cared. It’s shitty politician speak wrapped up in a totally butchered snark.
E: Looking at the extended clip not even that seems likely. What the fuck
Yeah, I mean could be either. To me it felt like she was putting him in his place in an extremely old rich lady kind of way. Like it was uncivil to ask that on a Sunday morning or something. It's clear Pelosi thinks that she and the Dem leadership should be accountable to no one, so I don't think it has to be a hard question for her to take offence. She thinks she's doing the interviewer a favour by talking to them.
To be sure, we'll need to find this guy: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/11/16458142/congress-alzheimers-pharmacist
Is this really more likely than a pure senior moment though? The question wasn't even that hard.

Yeah, to me, this makes sense. And the awkwardness is also because she clearly isn't actually planning on doing anything
