House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did not mince words Wednesday while reacting to Attorney General William Barr’s summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“[W]e just haven’t even seen the Mueller Report, and we don’t expect to accept just the attorney general’s interpretation of it,” Pelosi said on SiriusXM show “Make It Plain.” “A little bit arrogant of him to think that that would be the case.”

“We have to get the report,” she added. “They — to their peril — will keep that report.”

She then slammed Republicans’ renewed attempt to repeal Obamacare, calling it an “act of cruelty.”

“They do not share our values and it’s a fight we welcome,” she added.

  3. Thank you Speaker Pelosi. More of this please.
