“Pelosi is saying the reason for the trip was to thank our troops “
Riiiight. She’s saying that NOW. Pulled it out of her ass at the very last minute to try to rationalize going on yet another vacation — an “excursion”, as PDJT called it. She had no intention of thanking the troops, at least not American troops.
FWIW, I don’t think it was a vacation.
I think it was, and is, plotting sedition.
