Pelosi on Trump Accepting Republican Nomination At The White House: "He Can't Do That"
RCP video ^ | 8/5/2020 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 08/06/2020 4:09:21 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump's suggestion that he will "probably" deliver his speech accepting the Republican nomination from the White House in an interview Wednesday with NBC's Andrea Mitchell.

"Is that appropriate? I'm not sure if there's a law against it, but there certainly is a tradition. You don't use the White House as the backdrop for any politics. He has broken that with the Rose Garden and other events before," host Andrea Mitchell fretted.

"And for the president of the United States to degrade once again the White House, as he has done over and over again, by saying he's going to completely politicize it is something that should be rejected right out of hand."

"Can you stop him?" Mitchell asked Pelosi.

"He can't do that," Pelosi responded.

(snip)

SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Yes, it's very wrong. Again, when we're in the Capitol of the United States under the dome, we have a very limited opportunity to reference anything political. .....

And you don't talk politics under the dome of the Capitol, except perhaps a reference to it, but not an event. "You don't have political events in the Capitol. You don't have political events in the White House."...

PELOSI: Andrea, my friend, once again, he is diverting attention from the fact that people are dying in our country, children are hungry, families are fearing eviction, workers are concerned about getting money into their pockets, the state and local governments are suffering from the virus and the rest.

And we're talking about whether he can have a political event at the White House. He can't.

But, again, it's interesting, it's curious, it's a diversion, and that he is -- what is he? He's a master of diversion.

Anybody wants to point out all those political stunts Pelosi and her Dems pulled at the Capitol in the past?

First things came to mind,

Feel free to join in/chime in.

She is such a hack, and typical Dem. Rules and common decency are only for others, but it don't apply to them.

Geesh!

What else do these political hacks, Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, et al. not politicize everything they do on the Capitol hill under the dome, even as simple as giving a speech or holding a press conference?

She really thinks the public is stupid. She thinks she can say anything at all and get away with it.

Oh, right, speaking of SOTU,

Nancy Pelosi can dis-invite, then re-invite POTUS to give the SOTU on 'her' Capitol Hill under the dome.

Nope, it is NOT a political stunt at all, she has the welfare for everybody in mind.

Because Nancy isn’t stupid.

But her voters are.

“host Andrea Mitchell fretted.”

Does that fossilized excuse for a “journalist” ever do anything besides fret?

She said less when Slick used the White house for his stress relief sessions. No politics at the White House? That’s a new one.

Doesn’t matter where he gives his acceptance speech. He’ll still get millions more viewers than Biden will. I’m sure Trump is not worried about it.

Pelosi is a drunk dementia addled pig who has zero ethics however I also think it would be improper to use the Whitehouse for a political event. That stated, President Trump just trolled her and the media.......😂

If Nancy doesn’t like it, he should definitely do it.

I could be wrong, but I believe the White House is his home right now. Or did I miss something?

Well, it worked for 99.8% of her career.
