A top aide to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) apologized to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Tuesday after wrongly alleging that the Speaker had cursed reporters on a hot mic for being a “waste my f---ing time.”

Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, tweeted a video of Ryan leaving a press conference on Capitol Hill. After Ryan falls off screen in the video, a voice can be heard venting frustration with the proceedings.

Hammill tweeted the video claiming it was Ryan who made the incendiary remark. The video quickly spread across social media.

Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong ripped Hammill over Twitter, saying it was clear from the video that Ryan was not the person who made the offending remark. Hammill has apologized and removed the tweet.

The apology won’t matter, the damnable Democrats will insist on repeating this endlessly as if it were true.

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip.

Auberge de Soleil, rated in the top 10 of it’s kind in the USA.

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

“Let’s get the real people”

[IronJack]

Fake news. Fake apology.

[TomGuy]

AshLee Strong tweet seems to indicate it “was clearly a reporter next to the mic.”

So we may never know who actually said it.

I wish every time the dems do something like this the GOP would make an outlandish completely fabricated story and feed it to the MSM...

After a few days apologize just like the libtards...

More ‘fake news’ from the Democrats.
