Just one day after leading the charge to impeach President Trump in the House of Representatives, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sat for an interview with Politico, brushing off Republican attempts to paint her delay in delivering the articles to the Senate as a sign of weakness.
On Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggesting she was “too afraid” to deliver a “shoddy work product” to the Senate, Pelosi said: “Oh pfft,” according to Politico. “Fear is never a word used with me. You should know right away. … I’m never afraid and I’m rarely surprised.”
On House Republicans at times obscure behavior during the House debate and vote on the articles of impeachment Wednesday: “Some of them don’t believe in the Constitution. … They didn’t act upon it, they acted completely against it. They believe in Donald Trump,” she told Politico.
On the recent increase in House Republican lawmakers announcing retirements: “It means that they know they’re gonna lose,” she reportedly said. “And if you win, you’re going to serve in the minority under a Democratic president. You may want to spend more time with your family.”
Give 'em hell, Nancy.
Or, just tell them the truth and make them feel like it’s hell.
(Tip of the hat to Harry Truman)
Just love her. She should be on Dem ticket for president.
Nancy is a role model for the ages. A strong, moral, unafraid woman. Just like RBG, I hope she inspires generations of young people to be like her – true to the law, to beliefs and to herself. Her “don’t mess with me” exit to complete and utter silence in the press room was breathtaking.
I thought the same thing…
Thank you, Madam President. [salutes]
