Pelosi Unleashes On Reporter She Previously Called ‘Mr. Republican Talking Points’
After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will proceed with articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump during a press conference Thursday, Sinclair reporter James Rosen asked her a simple question “Do you hate the President?”
“I don’t hate anybody…As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone…So, don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that,” Pelosi responded.

Rosen’s question was based on House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins’ suggestion that Democrats are seeking impeachment “simply because they don’t like the guy.”
JAMES ROSEN: Why the legal rights of the whistleblower should prevail in this political setting over those of President Trump, who should ordinarily enjoy a right to confront his accuser?

This wasn’t the first time Pelosi slammed Rosen’s questioning. In fact, last month when Rosen asked the Speaker whether President Trump has the right to confront his accuser, the whistleblower, she called him “Mr. Republican talking points.”
During that earlier press conference, Rosen simply asked Pelosi to explain “Why the legal rights of the whistleblower should prevail in this political setting over those of President Trump, who should ordinarily enjoy a right to confront his accuser?”
Pelosi replied, “I say to you, Mr. Republican talking points what I said to the President of the United States: when you talk about the whistleblower, you’re coming into my wheelhouse. I have more experience in intelligence than anybody in the congress, anybody that’s ever served.”
Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit. She hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and sooo much more. Stock Market and employment records. She says she “prays for the President.” I don’t believe her, not even close. Help the homeless in your district Nancy. USMCA?

The President chimed in on Twitter following Thursday’s sharp exchange. “Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit. She hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and sooo much more. Stock Market and employment records. She says she “prays for the President.” I don’t believe her, not even close. Help the homeless in your district Nancy. USMCA?” Trump wrote.
