House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had a scheduled meeting with President Trump at the White House on infrastructure Wednesday morning that ended in an explosive firestorm.
Prior to the meeting, Pelosi held a meeting behind closed doors with other Democrats, who have been demanding that impeachment proceedings be implemented. Upon exiting the meeting, Pelosi told reporters, “We believe the president of the United States is engaged in a cover up.”
Pelosi and Schumer then went immediately to the White House, where a furious President Trump tore into Pelosi over her “cover-up” claim and announced that no infrastructure negotiations can take place until Democrats end their “phony investigation.”
President Trump then held a fiery press conference where he denounced Pelosi’s “cover-up” allegations.
Following Trump’s address, Pelosi, Schumer and other Democrat leaders held their own press conference.
“This morning we went to the White House for a follow-up meeting with the president,” Pelosi explained, saying they were prepared to discuss how they would cover the costs of their infrastructure proposal.
She claimed they went to the meeting “in the spirit of bipartisanship”, being “hopeful and optimistic.”
“He came into the room, made a statement that he made, I won’t even characterize it,” she declared.
“We had hoped that we could give this president an opportunity to have a signature infrastructure initiative, to create jobs, to improve the quality of life, to do so much for our country,” Pelosi said.
“For some reason – maybe it was lack of confidence on his part that he couldn’t match the greatness of the challenge we have, wasn’t really respectful of the Congress and the White House working together… he just took a pass, and it just makes me wonder why he did that,” she declared.
Pelosi continued, “At any rate, I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America.”

Which God does Pelosi pray to I wonder? They are obstructive in every way, not bi-partisan. What a joke Schumer and Pelosi are!

Palosi, if you democrats would help him out just a bit with all these illegals flooding into our country, maybe he would have given you what you wanted. You have to work to get things you may need. Get things done and you will receive. Another thing with what I just said about illegals pouring in here, shows us all how much you really care about our great country, not one bit.

You can’t say in one breath you want to impeach the President and then the next say you wanted to work on issues together.
It’s time they put hate aside and work for the people who pay them
Jackie May 22nd, 2019 at 2:22 pm
Exactly they want to have it both ways. They can not be trusted period. He wants to work on this issue but not with snakes.
Jenny Crosley May 22nd, 2019 at 2:27 pm

We, the AMERICAN people, are interested in you Democrats getting off the President’s back and let him do his job because you guys clearly are not. Pelosi.. you need to pray for the babies you are killing. You need to pray that you need forgiveness for the horrible lies you tell to us. You need to pray that your own corrupt lives don’t come under investigation. Just do your damn job. Leave the President alone. Enough is enough.
Howard Allen Altman May 22nd, 2019 at 2:16 pm
Every word out of her mouth is a lie! Dems don’t want to work with Pres. Period!
Charlotte Moring May 22nd, 2019 at 2:27 pm
Their both a lying piece of a sh-t. They will say anything to keep the people separated. Don’t know how they can talk without chocking on their words.
