An animated and furious Nancy Pelosi crashed House impeachment managers' post-trial press conference in a rage She lashed out at Mitch McConnell and called Republicans 'cowardly' for voting to stop Donald Trump from being convicted for 'incitement of insurrection'
'It had not been my intention to come to this press availability,' Pelosi said 'But what we saw today was a cowardly group of Republicans who apparently have no options because they were afraid to... respect [Congress]' McConnell argued in floor remarks after voting to acquit Trump Saturday, that Congress didn't have the jurisdiction to go after a former president Nancy Pelosi crashed the House impeachment manager's post-trial press conference Saturday to rage against Mitch McConnell and call out Republicans' 'cowardly' vote to stop Donald Trump from being convicted for 'incitement of insurrection'.
'It had not been my intention to come to this press availability,' Pelosi said as she spoke to reporters on the fifth and final day of the Senate proceedings. 'But what we saw today was a cowardly group of Republicans who apparently have no options because they were afraid to defend their job – respect the institution in which they serve.'
'But why I came over was because I listened to Mitch McConnell,' Pelosi continued. McConnell took the Senate floor shortly after Democrats failed to earn the two-thirds votes needed to convict the former president – and the Republican leader argued Congress no longer had jurisdiction over Trump's actions because is no longer president.
>snip> 'I don't know if it was for donors, or what, or whatever it was, it was a very disingenuous speech and I say that regretfully because I always want to be able to work with the leadership of the other party,' the California Democrat added.

“....Nan has been running circles around the Republicans”
That’s because they are paid to be the Washington Generals.
It becomes no more coherent upon re-reading than it was the first time.
Nancy, sometimes it is best to say nothing.
Bad combination, drunk and Mafia.
luxury ice cream in Speaker’s freezer....
How many will she consume to drown her misery over Orangeman getting away to freedom?
A woman I used to know said her mother counselled her and her other daughter: When a man breaks up with you just forget him by having a milk shake. There will be a lot of one milkshake men in your lifetime but only a few two milkshake ones.
I’d love to have a some GOP leadership that fought as well as she does. I swear she has to have a group of field grade military officers leading her strategy team. That’s what the past 8 years have felt like, like being in a war and we sure didn’t win it. I’ll take a win but don’t think for a second that she’s incompetent or that the war against us is over.
Sounds like campaign ad material.
Maybe he can move to California and get a seat on their congressional delegation. Just saying...
Pelosi knew from the start that there would never be 67 votes to convict. Pure political theater from the start.
She’s trying to rile up her base and fundraise.
I think she’s got some Washington Generals on her strategy team for sure. Absolutely. 2 stars and 3 stars even.
lineup picture of prestigious house managers....
“So we lost the conviction, of course. But our lemonade stand in the Rotunda brought in some money. Not a total loss here.”
right. pelosi is “furious.” she just got everything she wanted out of the trial and she’s in a rage about it. right.
Look at those commie idiots.
“The military has a duty, DUTY, to protect our Constitution.”
Yup. Did they suddenly forget the phrase “against all enemies foreign and domestic” or where they just words to them? Oathkeepers my ass..
Wow, that’s a strange photo. The 6 men look completely cowed, the 3 women look ready to murder the next person they see.
Winning a battle or two doesn't win the war.
Her antics prove she is losing the war.
Hell, her own position was almost blown away from friendly fire by AOC!
She barely survived that attack and she has to defend it every day lest she be over run by friendlies.
We're definitely seeing two very different pictures of the battlefield.
“Nanny” Pelosi is UNFIT to be a dogcatcher, much less the Speaker of the House or even a “back-bencher” in the HoR.
IF she had a teaspoon of common decency in her body, she would RESIGN from Congress after APOLOGIZING to the entire USA for being a SKUNK wearing clothes.
Yours, ex-cadet
I think I know why the SF folk keep sending her from SF to DC, ...that’s as far from SF as they can send her. Who wants that at home? She probably wins by signature votes, alone!
Her bony ****
