(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went on CNN Monday night to express her fury at Republicans on the House intelligence committee who voted to release a classified memo dealing with the ongoing Russia investigation.

She accused Republicans of "dangerously and recklessly dealing with intelligence" to "cover up" the Russia investigation.

She said the four-page memo, written by Republicans on the House intelligence committee, is false, a "total misrepresentation," a threat to national security, and on top of that, a "distraction."


The Republican Party has, as I said, crossed over to cover-up. They're deadly afraid of the Russia investigation. We don't want the investigation to be anything but based on the law and the facts and let the investigation proceed. That's the right thing to do for our country. We have to be respectful of law. We have to be respectful of intelligence and the rest. And what they're doing is reckless in regard to both.

But the fact is also that it is a distraction from the fact that they passed a tax bill that gives 83 percent of the benefits to the top 1 percent. They'd like to distract from that. And 86 million middle-class Americans will pay more in taxes...They do give this gift to corporate America at the expense of our children's future. They don't want to talk about that. They don't want to talk about the fact that they have -- what they've done in terms of the president put forth a ridiculous memo on...on infrastructure which doesn't even go near what our country needs.

They are doing bad things in terms of immigration and the rest. What they do is they give you a nugget. They say, here's what we're doing on immigration. Isn't that wonderful? It looks so pretty, and while they do very unpretty things behind the scenes. Same thing with the tax bill. Isn't this a nice little thing we're giving you while we give-- And same thing again with intelligence. We're going to show you a memo. This is ridiculous. It's beyond ridiculous.


Pelosi also argued that Republicans voted to release the classified memo because "they can't keep government open."

"I want to tell you something. You're missing it. This is very big," Pelosi explained to CNN's Chris Cuomo. "This is very big in terms of -- in terms of what line they have crossed tonight. And it's shocking really but not surprising because they're desperate. And they're desperate because, look, they can't keep government open...Now they're trying to get their their fifth continuing resolution because they're incompetent and they're ineffective, and all they have to do is sit down and say, let's come to terms on how we're going to fund the government."

"And you're saying the Democrats are willing partners in that process?" Cuomo asked her.

"Absolutely. We have been willing partners," she said.

You wanna’ talk tax cuts Nancy? I’m getting a $75 a month reduction in Federal taxes on my employee-related pension, starting now. Thanks President Trump.

Nancy Pelosi will say anything -- really, anything.
It doesn't matter how bizarre, strange or incoherent it sounds.
She believes the American public is stupid enough to believe it.
She maybe right about that sometimes.

I also think Pelosi might be afflicted with sort of mental illness.

Correct, it makes no sense at all.

Democrats are being whipped like a rented mule over the Tax Cuts and Reform Act.

Please! One of you tech-savvy people make a montage of all of Nancy’s hilarious comments over the last couple of weeks! It’s gotten so that I start laughing when her face comes on the screen!

She needs to spend some time with her grandkids while she can still recognize them.

Certifiable. The gift that keeps giving. Used to get a kick watching that witch sitting behind GW / Odunga during SOTU Addresses. It looked like the whole time she was fidgeting with her tongue to dislodge some imaginary Caraway seed stuck between her gums and dentures. She as a whole is a text book case of “you can’t buy class”

Is she really that stupid and naive? The only ones complaining about crumbs are those that take from the little guys.

One thing we can determine from this outburst is that Pelosi has a serious hearing loss.

She is incapable of hearing what she says, so does not realize how ridiculous and illogical it is.

LOL at her.

Pelosi is completely out of touch - she doesn’t have a clue.

Perhaps Soros just sends her out to muddy the waters?

Pelosi is profoundly ignorant, or at least she seems to be.

Since she is a typical Democrat with no net worth to speak of, she doesn’t realize no comprehend the concept of compounding. The memo compounds the goodness of the tax cut

Poor Nancie... I hope she and SCOTUS Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg can find a quiet retreat and be looked after. Amazing - the people that run our country. Yikes! Look out! That island might tip over!

Airhead Pelosi doesn’t give up easily, or does she? To be in a position as she is, I would be ashamed to put my mental shortcomings on public display. Having no idea if she does drink or how much if she does, but this may contribute to her mental decline as it becomes more and more noticeable every time she comes out with another statement.
