WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is bristling over a question about whether she “hates” President Donald Trump.

Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference Thursday that as a Catholic, she resents the suggestion that she hates anyone. She fired back at the questioner: “Don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”
The reporter asked: “Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?”
“I don’t hate anybody,” Pelosi responded. She went on to call Trump, the subject of only the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in history, a “coward” on gun policy, “cruel” on immigration and “in denial” about climate issues.

Earlier , Pelosi announced that the House will draft articles of impeachment against Trump over his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democrats and political rival Joe Biden as Trump was withholding aid to Ukraine.
On impeachment, she told reporters: “This is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the president’s violation of the oath of office. And as a Catholic I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me.”
She said she prays for Trump, with whom she’s faced off all year on issues like the partial government shutdown.
The question about hating Trump came as she was leaving her weekly press conference. She stopped and addressed the reporter before returning to the microphone.
“Don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that,” she said, and walked out.
Why shouldn’t he mess with her? Is he touching on something? He hit a raw nerve with the school teacher Pelosi? he displayed her true colors what this is about?
She and her traitor Dems should resign. They are a disgrace
She sounds more condensing then trump ever was. Start impeachment hearings on her. Shutting down the press enquirer
Where is the press screaming about censorship
She probably learned from Trump how to treat & behave to the press
Every real Jew knows that it’s ok to hate Obama, to chant lock her up about Clinton, to denigrate Muslim war dead, to cheapen American war heroes, and to vilify by Tweet anyone who objects to anything Trump does…but…BUT…l’havdil ben eluf havdalus….it is ossur to hate the great savior of the Jews, Trump.
Senility is setting in with her real fast.
Did she ever hear of the auto da fe?
Her father Mayor D’Alessandro was mayor of Baltimore and an ohev Yisroel
Oh my ____she looked like a zombie witch with moist makeup , fixing her eyes on the teleprompter. That voice— scary
More leftist lies by Obama loving scumbags, first off Obama stopped missile transfers during the 2014 Gaza war, second the plane deal was made during the Bush administration, third Obama did not nominate 3 Jews to the supreme court unless you are so ignorant to think sotomayer is Jewish and besides the 2 nominees that were confirmed are like most democrats anti the religious freedom of frum Jews to not have to support gay marriage, but you can continue to think that appointing a leftist Jew who will but religious freedom is better than appointing a conservative christian who will uphold our religious freedom rights, Obama also never missed an opportunity to publicly condemn Israel at every turn all the while being apoligisgs for the so called palestinians, during the Obama administration anti Israel Jew hatred on campuses nationwide went up considerably, you can continue to support the increasingly anti Israel and Jew hater supporting democrats because you believe the lies the fake news propagandist press tell you about President Trump.
