Is this for real

Well, of course not. It was a figure of speech, maybe one not everyone would use and certainly part of an individual style, but that's it.

It included Pelosi's words. OP said multiple times that was the reason. Why wouldn't you leave it at that?

And OP took one of them, possibly just the first one that popped up on youtube in suggestions or wherever. Seriously, benefit of the doubt? Or is it really that utterly important to prove OP did that on purpose to show his support for Tucker, which shows his support for this and that and so on?

OK then. First and foremost it doesn't matter much.

"who he is" is white based on the clip.

That is where the debate occurred.  Many of us do not feel that Pelosi was proud that her grandson didn't want to be white.  That within the full context of her speech, including what she said right before that and right after, it had a much deeper meaning.

But when faced with that the OP switched back to "did she say the words or not".  Which, again, is silly as he posted the video where she said "the words".

So either it was about did she simply say that sentence in which case there's no need for a thread about it, or it's about the MEANING of the sentence which most of us discussed.  And some of that discussion comes from the words that Tucker Carlson used to describe the words Pelosi used. Which, it is safe to assume, the OP heard and posted anyway with an innocent question of "Did Pelosi really say she was proud of her grandson for wishing to be other than who his is?".

Yeah alright. I don't agree with OP's assessment as well, as I stated. I also think and stated FOX overblows the story and that white-shaming is an exaggeration. All that doesn't mean you have to align OP with Tucker and then hold Tucker and things Tucker says and believes in general against him. My personal view on that aside (being against forcefully throwing people in one pot), one can not really say that this kind of argueing had proven to be valuable or moves debates along well.
