...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....

Be careful...CNN likes to set viewers up.....bait and switch as is said.
He won’t criticize Nan for her gross hypocrisy in breaking her own Democrat Dictator’s decrees. No, her crime was handing Trump a campaign issue. Liberals . . .
@catturd2 (a right-wing troll account, which was then retweeted by President Trump).
Have no idea why CNN would characterize a mild comment against Pelosi by @catturd2 as a "right-wing troll account".
There is nothing at all to indicate either right-wingness nor trolling.
Well Chris isn’t wrong Nancy just basically morphed into the Marie Antoinette of congress with this little stunt
She auditioned for the part with her twin Sub-Zero frig’s filled with $12/pint gourmet ice cream.
She got the part with this last slap at us little people.
It’s difficult for me to fathom how incredibly stupid our 3rd in line to the Presidency is.
A major campaign gift indeed.
Agree.
What are the odds that AOC challenges Pelosi for the Speaker position (assuming the Dems hold onto the House)?
I can see the DNC re-branding itself after this election. No more old white men. Young, ethnic, pretty, and left-leaning is what they want, and Pelosi doesn't fit any more.
Even with this latest outrage, Pelosi still wins in her district, but her time as Speaker is over.
Oh my goodness!! I missed the “ hand shake” episode!!! This is a gift straight from heaven folks!!!
Nancy with the lovely hair.....
“Artisinal” ice cream.
The piece is not really pro-Trump, but at least it acknowledges the bad optics.
“change the subject from his handling (or mishandling) of the ongoing coronavirus epidemic that has sicked more than 6 million Americans and killed almost 185,000.”
Or, 600,000 sickened with 10,000 deaths, depending on who you ask.
Well Pelosi thought she was following the rules so its ok now.
Somehow I suspect that that defense would not work for you or I were WE the ones in that position. Or any other one where we broke the law.
