Pelosi: Democrats thought Trump was going to honor John Lewis, not Rush (She's really steamed!)

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?

So why didn’t the first Black President, Obama, honor Mr. Lewis with a medal of honor? Yeah, he gets a pass on everything and anything.

Awarding Rush and bringing the reunion of our soldier with his family. These were Trump's honest and heartfelt gestures, but at the same time Trump's masterful trolling of all the Dems at SOTU who were forced to sit through this. What dim Nancy called a spectacle. Trump trolled senile Nancy and sure enough she took the bait, hook, line and sinker! Trump chummed the Democrat waters!

San Fran Nan's angry/indignant reaction was priceless! Hooked by THE DONALD!

“Lewis was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2011”

Why would he need another one?

He’s now deceased political tick who lived off the taxpayers and fooling his gullible constituents for decades. His wife is now probably going to take over his spot at the trough.

At first, they were fighting to hang onto the power, their luxuries, their privileges!

Then they were fighting to hide their crimes and corruption!

Now they're just trying to stay out of jail!

It took two days for them to spin this up?

The Klintoonistas had a much faster response time.

best line i’ve seen on this, floatin’ round the web:

“..You have to really admire Trump... does anybody realize he just made all the Democrats attend Rush Limbaugh’s award ceremony?..”

laughed so hard the tears came out. Felt great.

I can’t think of one reason why the 63 million citizens who voted for President Trump (AND HAVE BEEN TRASHED BY DEMOCRATS EVER SINCE) would want to honor a democrat... ever. You’re nuts Nancy...

John Lewis who looks exactly like Elijah Cummings? Every time I hear that name I picture a grey haired white guy with bushy eyebrows who was a head of the mine workers union when I was a kid and create problems for FDR.
