Nancy Pelosi says Trump's 'obnoxious' border wall will be too high for a 'civilized society'

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi commented on President Trump's border wall, after reports the White House was floating DACA deal in exchange

She said it was 'too high' and 'obnoxious'

'What do you think? I mean, should be give a border wall for nothing? No, I don't think so,' she said

Pelosi also criticized enhanced internal enforcement that 'goes against the values' of the country'

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi ridiculed President Trump's border wall as 'obnoxious' and too 'high.'

Pelosi was asked about the wall during a press conference Thursday, following Trump's visit to the border and reports the White House was floating a deal to protect DREAMers in exchange for funding to build it.

A reporter asked the longtime party leader whether Democrats should give in on funding without a hard deadline for negotiations.

'What do you think?' Pelosi said dismissively, pausing. 'I mean, should be give a border wall for nothing? No, I don't think so.'

Then she tore into the wall with critiques not only of its effect, but of its height, calling it 'obnoxious.'

'First of all, I think the border – did you see it? How high it is?'

'I mean, really? In a civilized society, we do something like that? As obnoxious as it is. You know, that's a community there with a border running through it. Okay, we have a difference of opinion that, but a wall that big separating people? I mean really?

The Democrat in the PA special election shouldn’t have won with the Democrats making these comments.

The fact that a Democrat ran to the RIGHT of a Republican in Pennsylvania -- and won tells us much about:

1. How piss-poor the Republican candidate was;
2. How out of touch Democrats like Nancy Piglosi are;
3. How Democrats plan on "winning" in November. Well, if they run like Connor Lamb across the country the Democrat party loyalists (leftist progressives) are going to REVOLT.

I fully expect Connor Lamb to tow the Democrat Party line as soon as he's sworn in. He'll be a placeholder only until the November General Elections at this point. His presence really won't make a difference from a vote perspective. Lamb's victory was a Pyrrhic victory at best.

I think it means that she’s in favor of it. “too high for civilized society” means Dreamers, and anyone from Latin America, which was civilized by Spain, hundreds of years ago.

"Civilized Society" has a very long history of building high walls to protect itself.

That tells me that the wall should be at least 10 feet higher.

The Democrat party has moved into a post-citizenship, post-nationhood phase.

They no longer believe that the USA should exist as a separate country.

Nancy, a civilized society does not need a wall, or politicians that advocate breaking the law like you.

But, here we are...

Mexico is no longer a “civilized” society. Build the wall higher. . . . .
