House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday described the House resolution condemning President Donald Trump’s racist tweets as being written “in the most gentle way.”
When reporters asked Pelosi if she was surprised that hardly any Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the resolution, the speaker said her expectations “were not great,” even though the resolution was “benign.”
“It condemned the words of the President. Not the President, but the words of the President,” Pelosi said. “And doing so, it anchored itself in the words of Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan, beautiful speech by Ronald Reagan, which I reference all the time.”

Who, by the way, was also a racist noted for his dog whistling.
As I noted earlier, there was nothing subtle about the message he was sending when he announced his candidacy for POTUS in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Nor was there any mistaking his many comments about the mythical “welfare Cadillacs.”
Fun Fact: The Reagan campaign was asked many times to identify the identity the owner of the “welfare Cadillac.” Unsurprisingly they couldn’t because … well, unicorns.
Trump will not like that. Another tweet storm on the way?
because the Republicans are such delicate snowflakes.
Sharpest knives slice in the most gentle fashion.
