Republican Rep. Peter King (R-NY) was not pleased with President Trump’s decision to endlessly berate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) just ahead of his speech at the D-Day memorial last week.

“I have a different style from the President. I wouldn’t have been attacking Nancy Pelosi from Normandy,” King told AM 970 in New York on Monday morning, according to Mediaite. “But, I think, first, she attacked him, and he had every right to do it.”

“I just think that for his own sake, since his speech was so outstanding, it was so first class. … He should’ve let it be until he got home. He should be above that,” he said. “But having said all of that, I would give the whole European visit an A-plus. ”

Just ahead of his D-Day speech in Normandy last week, President Trump couldn’t stop dragging Pelosi during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. Trump was likely set off by Pelosi’s calls to throw him in prison instead of pursuing impeachment.

  1. “I have a different style from the President.“

    You hide it well.

  2. “But, I think, first, she attacked him, and he had every right to do it.”
    How? Define “attack”.

    “I just think that for his own sake, since his speech was so outstanding, it was so first class. … He should’ve let it be until he got home. He should be above that,” he said. “But having said all of that, I would give the whole European visit an A-plus.
    These words make all he had said illegitimate.

    p.s. What does the title have to do with the content? Why always paint GOPers in a better light than they deserve?

    King’s criticism feel tepid. Ends up blaming Pelosi.

    Good. I would hate to start the week finding a point of agreement with Peter King.

  4. Par for the course.

    GOPer Peter King not being thrilled has basically become Susan Collins without the high heels. Just more tepid bullshit.

    Moving on…

  5. The over-the-top compliments are obligatory grovelling when dealing with a person with narcissistic PD. Only 10% non-adulation is permitted in any single interaction. Trump never forgets.
