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.

Yes he did save us from Hillary and if the election hadn’t been stolen he would have saved us from Iosef Stolen too. I will be forever grateful to the man for his sacrifices.

"So how come she is still in power and her foes vanquished? That is why I am impressed."

Ah, ok, that's different. Democrats in the House are strictly lowest-IQ. I'm not joking, not being sarcastic, not fooling around. Dumb.

She also eliminates her competition, sometimes by moving them out of the House (just a month ago - bye, Cedric Richmond!), sometimes by primary defeat (bye, Blue Dogs!), mostly by promising them small beer (hello, The Squat!).

Her only real competition since '03 is Hoyer, and now he's too old to be anything other than her dopey sidekick.

She wants to talk about Mitch’s delay ? Let’s first talk about her not returning from recess for a month to get the ‘stimulus’ signed for the American people.

Well, that’s it exactly. Nanzi is so unstable that the mask slips suprisingly often in front of the cameras. But we’re lead to believe through “anonymous sources” that Trump is that way.

They’re nasty because no ever pushes back on their nuttiness. No one except Trump. And she goes koo-koo for cocoa puffs when he’s hardly even trying.

Mere political theater and Mitch is in on it.“

Absolutely. Mitch took it the floor and ripped into Trump immediately after he voted to acquit providing the rats with propaganda ammo. If the GOPe didn’t have to worry about primaries the vote would have been about 85 to 15 to convict.

Hmmm 🤔 hmmm 🧐 hmmmm

So the ‘solution’ once again is to ‘grow’ the corrupt, racist, misandrist, toxic, evil 🦹‍♀️ democrat party ?

Why is that?

Why is your solution always to attack the Republicans and to praise the evil, corrupt, toxic, misandrist racist democrats ?

So you would rather have Mitt Romney RINO types in our party then?

I’d rather have Mitt Switch parties and then boot his but out in the next election!
