House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) laid down the law Thursday at her weekly briefing, telling reporters that she would not comment on President Donald Trump’s “characterizations or mischaracterizations” of Democrats’ committee work.

“I am not commenting on what the President has to say about our work,” Pelosi said. “I always think whatever the President says about us, he’s projecting his own unruliness.”

“He’s a projector, and that’s what it’s about. I’m very proud of the work of our committees,” she continued. “We will not surrender our constitutional responsibility for oversight. That would make us delinquent in our duties.”

    God I love having Nancy back in charge more and more every day!

    Coming from a family of PhDs in Psychology, every single moment I see †Я☭mp attacking people I think “that fucker is projecting” (note Pelosi used the correct term, ignore the headline). What is this? Its a psychological response (often associated with an underlying mental illness, although it is not by itself a mental illness, rather is a coping or defense mechanism), in which someone accuses others of their own core flaws and fears and behaviors See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

    †Я☭mp just screams “projection” in everything he does, and its nice to See Nancy call him out on it. What †Я☭mp accuses others of is the dark evil contents of his own evil character.

    He just might pop!
