Pelosi calls for debate on strikes after 'saber-rattling' on North Korea

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for "immediate" debate over President Trump's use of force following reported "saber-rattling" on North Korea.

“Every day, the President gives Congress reason to return and debate the use of force. The President’s escalation in Syria and his saber-rattling on North Korea demand serious and immediate Congressional scrutiny," Pelosi said in a statement Thursday.

“Speaker [Paul] Ryan [R-Wis.] must call Congress back into session for classified briefings and debate. Congress must do its duty and honor our responsibility to the Constitution," she added.

Pelosi urged Ryan last week to call Congress back into session following the Trump administration's strike on an air base in Syria, which came in response to a chemical attack there believed to be carried out by the Syrian government.

Congress is currently in the middle of an 18-day spring break.

Pelosi's latest comments come after NBC News reported Thursday that the U.S. is prepared to launch a pre-emptive strike against North Korea if officials believe Pyongyang is going to go through with a nuclear weapons test.

Hey Nan!

The “debate” was Nov. 8th.

You lost.

Elections have consequences.

When you say “debate”, you mean demagogue in front of a camera, because you have no interest in listening to the answer.

Yes, there are. Kimberly Guilfoyle was “displaying” two of them last night as she discussed “their use” with Tony Schaffer.

It is important to Pelosi to project division in our government for the world to see.

A political debate forum is needed for the Dems to damage the president.

So the San Francisco Moonbat thinks it is okay to threaten the Syrian dictator but not the North Korean fat boy?

Debate on, Nancy. By the time you’re done hopefully some of the evil in the world will have been eliminated.

Pelosi, the anti-America/President Trump civilian, needs to stay out of this. She’s too ditzy to be involved in adult decisions. The Congress has a 20% approval rating. President Trump is at 48%. Congress gets too many military people killed with their dumb**it decisions.

She needs a DRUG TEST IMMEDIATELY, in her entire career of politics her only concern regarding the Constitution was to BURN IT

Debate by talking to yourself Nancy. Your senility is getting worse.

Does Pelosi even know what year it is, or day, or month for that matter. The woman is totally lost.

Please Democrats keep her right where she is. Every time I see her on TV and that she is one of the leaders of the Democrat party I can’t help but laugh at why the Democrats are becoming irrelevant. So far they have lost over 1,000 seats throughout the country. Well D’uh, I wonder why.
