If you mean the Dems just cancelled the SOTU in the House, then that’s even more stupid than making the request to cancel in the first place. If so, Nancy has out done herself...but when your enemy is in a whole, do you tell them to stop digging?

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told CNN hours later: "The State of the Union is off" — but had to walk back those definitive comments later.

"Mr. Hoyer had not read Speaker Pelosi's letter and mischaracterized it," Hoyer spokeswoman Mariel Saez said in a statement.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s office walked back his stunning declaration Wednesday afternoon that the State of the Union would not proceed as planned.

The House can’t cancel something that the president has the right to do.

Can he do that? If he can, it’s a clear sign of victory for the President! They BLINKED! They KNOW how the speech would go, and they’re AFRAID! They gambled, and they LOST!

“Hoyer just said they canceled it.”

hoyer had to walk-back that statement ... no one can “cancel” the state of the union report ... it’s Constitutionally required ... the only issue is where and how it’s given ...
