Pelosi: Democrats thought Trump was going to honor John Lewis, not Rush (She's really steamed!)
Washingtoon Examiner ^ | |February 06, 2020 | by Mike Brest

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained that Democrats expected President Trump to honor Democratic Rep. John Lewis, not Rush Limbaugh, when he referenced someone with stage 4 cancer during his State of the Union address.

Trump, during his Tuesday speech, awarded the conservative radio host with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a day after Limbaugh revealed his advanced lung cancer diagnosis. First lady Melania Trump placed the award on Limbaugh in the middle of the president's address to both chambers of Congress.

During Pelosi's Thursday press conference, she explained that in the moment leading up to Trump presenting the award to Limbaugh, many Democrats in attendance thought he was actually going to honor Lewis, who was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer last year.

"Let me say, how I can give a Medal of Honor — do it your own office. We don’t come in your office and do congressional business," the speaker began. "Why are you doing that here?

Sure Nancy.

Pelosi is supposed to be speaker of the whole house but she is nothing more than a partisan hack and leader of the resistance.

Her legacy is sealed and it is not good.

Yeah Medal of Honor is the military one and normally the President is the one who does the ceremony for that as well.

Headline implies Dems were told ahead of time such a presentation would happen, and to Lewis.
That they “thought” it mere seconds before announcing it’s Rush is not newsworthy.

I can sorta see a point of a guest rewarding one’s enemy in one’s own office, but given how she’s treated Trump for 3 years...

She needs large doses of Prosac. She obviously suffers from depression, anxiety, and mood swings.

I call BS on this.......I think the “”they thought” part was thought up AFTER the SOTU.

They are terrified Trump is making inroads with the black vote.

To force you to watch, Nancy.

She should be asking why Obama never did. He gave his VP Biden the Medal of Freedom, and a bunch of political donors, but not Lewis. Ask him why?

Bo Snerdley has a tweet up that says Trump is a genius because he made all the democrats attend Rush’s Medal of Freedom ceremony.

Roll the tape of her face when the chamber chanted 4 more years. Nancy was in total disbelief.I believe that was the first crack of the night.
