Nancy Pelosi just handed Trump a campaign gift
CNN.com ^ | September 2, 2020 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/03/2020 3:13:10 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

...What Pelosi did was hand Trump, whose entire strategy, such as it is, in the 2020 campaign is to troll liberals and media, a massive gift-wrapped present with her salon trip. For Trump and his Republican allies, the whole episode affirms everything they have been saying these last few years about liberals.

Whether Pelosi thought she was following the rules in place is lost entirely in the Trump campaign's rush to use the incident as a symbol of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do culture that they argue pervades the Democratic Party -- on Covid-19 (and everything else.) This tweet, from Trump's campaign, which the President also retweeted on Wednesday morning, gets at that point....

There is no possible defense for this.

Crazy Pelosi embodies the arrogance of the far Left. The do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do mindset.

I need to look outside and see if the pigs are flying.

CNN???

This makes, what, four or five pro-Trump/Conservative things that they’ve done, the past few days?

Are they trading places with Fox News?

What next.....Tucker goes back to CNN....and, takes a few good Fox folks w/him?

I’m shocked, I tell ya.

Salon-Gate has provided some much needed comedic relief. The fact that leftists are taking this so seriously just adds to the comedy.

Politically speaking, I hope Pelosi’s career is ended the same way Marie Antoinette’s career was ended......I think the French referred to it as the Public Razor....

CNN says this? If this guy agrees with what he has just said he better have his resume up to date.

I was always told that ignorance of the law is not a defense.

If Nancy Pelosi’s behavior has shocked and saddened CNN, then she has truly crossed a line.

Never give a sucker an even break, or something. Trump just got an even break, and all at Nancy’s expense.

Of course there’s a defense and they are already invoking it.
• the bitch set me up defense
• I was unaware that inside appointments weren’t allowed
• videoing me with out my permission is a crime and should be prosecuted
• the salon owner is a Trumpster
• as Speaker the U.S. deserves to see me at my best
• this is just a distraction. Trump has mental issues!

Is there any doubt? She considers herself better.

Between this episode, the ice cream episode, and her blocking everyone in the country from getting another IRS check because she wanted to get three trillion more for herself and her Democrat friends, well, I can’t wait to see all the commercials, if they would be allowed to be played.

CNN is hoping this passes “in a day or two”.

The job of the Trump campaign is to make sure every American knows about it every day between now and the election.

Over and over and over again....

and again and again and again and again....

...Until every American (including those stuck beneath a snowbank at a science station in Antarctica) knows about it.

“Whether Pelosi thought she was following the rules in place is lost entirely in the Trump campaign’s rush to use the incident...”

And there it is: even while admitting that Pelosi did it, he excuses her and tries the “Republicans pounce” cliche to shift blame to Trump. Pelosi is not only old enough to know the rules in place in her own district, she’s old enough to know the laws of ancient Mesopotamia. She wasn’t surprised by the rules; she was just surprised that the peasants dared to call her for breaking them.
