House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that she's never met with the current Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak.

"Not with this Russian ambassador, no," Pelosi told POLITICO's Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer during a Playbook interview, when asked if she'd ever met with the Russian envoy.

But a file photo from Pelosi's 2010 meeting with Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev shows Kislyak at the table across from Pelosi — then House speaker — and Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Medvedev had been in the country for a meeting with President Barack Obama a day earlier and

Steny’s been mouse-silent.... ask not for whom the pizza tolls, etc. etc.

Driving in the wrong direction on a two way street usually results in an accident.

Nancy still thinks life is a one way street and she just got hit.

“Sergey Kislyak at the table across from Pelosi”

They sat him across from Pelosi, he must be wondering if he’s about to be purged or something.

[Steely Tom]

Must be the Russians who asked that only white Democrats be present.

“The Russians hacked ..Nancy’s Face.”

Now that is funny!

Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a brief press availability this afternoon with President Dmitry Medvedev of the Russian Federation prior to their meeting in the Capitol. Below are the Speaker’s remarks:

“Good afternoon. It is an honor and privilege, indeed, to welcome the President of the Russian Federation to the United States Capitol.

“The partnership between the United States and Russia is founded on our shared belief in a future of security and prosperity for both of our nations, and our common commitment to stand together for peace and security around the world.

“I thank the President for his leadership to secure and reduce nuclear stockpiles, to pursue a new START treaty, to impose sanctions on Iran and North Korea.

“We look forward to an ongoing discussion on these and a wide-range of other issues — strengthening counterterrorism efforts, reaching a global agreement on energy and climate change, boosting trade and investment, helping to keep our global economic recovery moving forward and in the right direction.

“Thank you, President Medvedev, for your friendship and for meeting with leaders of both parties today. Thank you for starting your trip in America and in San Francisco — the San Francisco Bay Area — meeting with local businesses and academic community leaders. We’re very proud of Silicon Valley there. There are many Silicon Valleys throughout America that add to our innovation, our spirit of innovation, and help us to be prosperous and also to protect our environment.

“We hope to have a fruitful discussion with bipartisan leadership of the House of Representatives. And I’m pleased now to invite the President to say a few words.

“Again, it’s a great honor to welcome you, Mr. President.”

It took him a bit but Trump is winning the narrative now. EVERYONE has met with Russian ambassadors. They’re trying to imply that just because Republicans in the Trump administration did that it’s somehow nefarious.

[az_gila]

You have to parse every single word when it comes to DemonicRATS. Was Kislak an Ambassador at the time?

That particular excuse won't work this time, he's been Ambassador since 2008...:^)

[Responsibility2nd]

Are Russians our enemies? No. Are they our allies? Yes. What about Iran? What about when John Kerry was meeting with the mullahs?What about when Obama was giving them $1.6 billion? Now those were actions that called for their resignation

He's done more than just change the narrative.

He has made the democrats obsession with Russia an object of derision. A national joke.

They're going with "Russia" to satisfy the moonbat base, and Trump is going to make them pay for it in the middle.

The guy is brilliant.

Who are you going to believe? Nancy or our lying eyes?

I don’t even want to imagine waking up next to her....
