Pelosi defends not speaking to Trump for almost a year

Did Nancy Pelosi Violate '18 Code US 2071 B' by Tearing Up Trump's State of  the Union Speech? - Truth or Fiction?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday defended not speaking directly to President Trump for almost a year amid the current coronavirus pandemic and wildfire crises, maintaining that she finds it "in the interest of time" to speak to intermediaries.

The president and the Speaker haven't had an extended, face-to-face conversation since Oct. 16, 2019, during a meeting at the White House about Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria.

Trump and Pelosi haven't even been in the same room together since February at the National Prayer Breakfast. That came two days after Trump's State of the Union address, where he appeared to ignore Pelosi's attempt at a handshake and she ripped up a copy of his speech afterward.

Pelosi confirmed during an interview with MSNBC's Craig Melvin that she hasn't spoken to Trump about the wildfires ravaging her home state of California and other parts of the West. Any recent discussions about a coronavirus relief package — which have been stalled for more than a month — have also only been between Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin or White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, not Trump.

"Well, I've spoken to his representatives and he says that they speak for him. And I take that to be true about the secretary of the Treasury and we have worked together," Pelosi said, noting her deals with Mnuchin on past coronavirus aid measures and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact last year.

    • I just visited their website (CPUSA) my gosh it's scary. I'm pretty sure BLM founders are members because their narrative is just the same, they put fascism and capitalism in the same bag. They are the problem, we are at war against those people. Those communists are those in the street right now, nothing to do with saving black lives, they have a long term agenda for communism and socialism in the US. What those idiots don't realize is that communism is a form of fascism. CNN and MSNBC support them, many media networks do, it's how bad the situation is and how big the trojan horse is.

    • "What those idiots don't realize is that communism is a form of fascism."

      What with the definitional nature of fascism and communism as being collective, low information has to be the excuse (although there really isn't any good excuse)

    • they never experience communism if they do I will be choked.

    • It is sad how uninformed many Americans are. Anyone with a little knowlegde of history or political science knows that communism and facism are on the same side of the political spectrum.

    • you nail it right to the point or either they are ignoring the constitution which one it is?

    • I believe that the regulatory prohibition specifically naming communists in govermnment service was abolished, (during "W"s or Obamas terms), but the general disqualifier to any who are catagorically seditious or insurrectionist remains.

      Please call out if I err.

    • I do not know if you are wrong, probably not; never the less, this pig-in-a-poke IS, definitely, both insurrectionist and seditious, with her ever action and "secret meeting" behind closed doors.  AND the "destruction of government documents" (i.e. President Trump's SOTU address) more than qualifies her for arrest and serious charges.  I live for the day I see her in Gitmo, awaiting execution!

    • She will never be executed. The powers that be will fake her death. Same with obiden, brennen, all the treasonous bunch. The deep state still have loyalists that will cover for them.

    • If President Trump prevails (with our help he will) there won't be any "powers that be" left to fake anything- - -they will be eliminated as welll.  And THAT is another reason, ALL these executions should take place in a very public area.

    • Yea
