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.

Caught that Fireside reference. Good one.
Just Kabuki for her rich RAT donors.
Mitch, you sold yourself, and us, out again. Once again you kissed their asses, and what did it get you Mitch? Are they loving you this time?
She was losing it. She ran back and forth for every question throwing her tantrum.
She was breathing real hard too.
Make that Firesign.
Trump’s in the lefties noggins 24/7. He scares the living s**t out of all of them. You’re right about Trump. This farce of an impeachment has not diminished him a bit. It’s making him an even bigger political force! San Fran Nan knows it, and that’s why she freaked out!
Totally agree. Pelosi and Mitch joined at the hip.
In fact, at one point she was nearly out of breath.
Caught that Fireside reference. Good one.
The woman is certifiably nuts. The whole Democrat party has become unhinged hair on fire crazies. You would think there will soon be voters remorse.
Trump should pick a winnable district and run for Congress.
Purple must be the new “it” color because the Ho wore it on “Inauguration Day”.
And, actually, I just did a search on, “What did the Ho wear on inauguration day?” and the search engine returned pictures of the Ho wearing a huge purple coat, looking like the McDonald’s Grimace.
Yeah, isn’t that the truth.
Nancy thought she was in control and had planned the perfect takedown. She can’t believe she lost.
Nazi’s losing it!
Fun fun fun
Nope. This is all choreographed beltway theater. Just a couple days ago Pelosi dramatically told a Fake Newser she had no comment on impeachment. Now this.
Trump doesn’t do things half way.
After playing democrats own words inciting many riots last year I can’t believe ANYONE voted to convict.
