Pelosi snaps at Conway after tense White House meeting:‘I don’t talk to staff...'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a tense, aborted meeting on infrastructure Wednesday, a senior administration official told CNBC.

“I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said after Conway asked the speaker a question, according to the official.

The interaction followed President Donald Trump’s abrupt exit from a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders.

Pelosi earlier in the day accused the president of engaging in a “cover-up” by blocking White House aides from providing testimony and responding to document requests from congressional investigations.

The president responded by saying he doesn’t “do cover-ups” and that he could not work with Democrats on legislation until they stopped investigating him.

In a last-minute press event at the Rose Garden, Trump said he “walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, ‘I want to do infrastructure’ ... but we can’t do it under these circumstances.”

Nice handle by the way, elegant even.

Had to tweet to Pelousy: “You are right to slam Conway for trying to talk to you - royalty never talks to the peasants they claim to represent....your highness.
Ironic that the cancer you represent on our FReedom is less lethal than the latest crop of lunatics.”

Remember her promenading through the Tea Party rally with her man-sized gavel, hoping some Tea Partier would hurl a racial epihet at her pal Cummings?

Investigations are the democrats last gasp chance to be relevant. They’re not and they know it. They don’t govern, they can’t represent, they’re just moochers and scofflaws.

That is not a surprise at all. Interestingly, anecdotal evidence indicates this is far more of an issue on the Left than the Right, at least at the Presidential level.

White House domestic staff hated the Carters, Clintons, and Obama, but felt resepected and well treated by the Reagans, and the Bushes.

I met someone who actually said that and meant it.

What a witch she was.

Here’s another example of leftism’s elitist attitude...

https://www.newswars.com/eu-head-juncker-says-people-who-love-their-country-are-stupid/

President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker says that people who love their countries are “stupid”.

“These populist, nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with their own countries,” Juncker told CNN, as if that was a bad thing.

How much of an out of touch globalist do you need to be not to recognize the total and complete self-own of a comment like that?

Juncker just gifted every Euro-skeptic movement on the continent a quote that they will throw back in the EU’s face for years to come.

If this behavior of hers continues she will definitely be passing the torch to the most radical socialist (young and diverse, with new ideas for change!) elements of her party. She might be scared of that right now and is desperately trying to be “tough”.

You know what’s really appalling? Most of the Dems and never-Trumps went to him with their hands out for money before he came out as a Republican and declared his candicacy. Mitt Romney is a prime example, as are all the NY senators and representative.

Remember Mittens going to Trump, hat in hand, for a job? He didn't get it.

Chuckle...
Kellyanne had a lot more restraint than I would have had.

My answer would have been “Then GFYourself, lady.”

People like Pelosi, Schumer, etc., don’t deserve civility nor polite discourse.

Civility and Polite Discourse ended the day that one of their psychotic drug-addled morons tried to murder Steve Scalise and bunch of other Republicans at a baseball game.

Were I Trump, I would assign a staff member, preferably Kellyanne, who has the specific responsibility to channel communications between Trump and Pelosi. Even if they were sitting in the same room, I would demand that she address me by speaking to Kellyanne. She has pronounced her sentence. . . .
