House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said in a Monday statement that President Trump’s refusal to condemn Russian meddling in the 2016 election during his joint press conference with Vladimir Putin proves the Kremlin is using damaging information of some kind to exercise influence over him.
When asked about Russian election meddling during the press conference that followed his meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, Trump appeared to side with with Russia over his own intelligence community, calling Putin’s denial of responsibility “strong and powerful” before questioning why Russia would interfere in U.S. elections.
“President Trump’s weakness in front of Putin was embarrassing, and proves that the Russians have something on the president, personally, financially or politically,” Pelosi said in a statement. “This is a sad day for America, and for all Western democracies that Putin continues to target.”
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer condemned Trump’s conduct during the press conference in a slightly more reserved tone than his House counterpart.
“A single, ominous question now hangs over the White House: What could possibly cause President Trump to put the interests of Russia over those of the United States?” Schumer said in a statement. “Millions of Americans will continue to wonder if the only possible explanation for this dangerous behavior is the possibility that President Putin holds damaging information over President Trump.”
The Democratic leaders were joined by a number of prominent Republicans in lashing out at Trump. Senator John McCain (R., Ariz.) called the press conference “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory” and a “tragic mistake,” while his fellow Arizona republican, Senator Jeff Flake, called it “shameful.”

A young brunette goes into the doctor’s office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.
“Impossible,” says the doctor. “Show me.”
She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so on it goes.
The doctor says, “You’re not really a brunette are you?”
She says, “No, I’m really a blonde.”
“I thought so,” he says. “Your finger is broken.”
Obviosuly. They clearly have kidnapped Pelosi’s brain and are refusing to return it unless Trump plays along.
And when Pelosi opens her mouth, it proves that she is a demented liar.....keep talking Nancy. The midterms are coming.
All the same words and phrases.
It’s Hammer Time.
And how much “leverage” would the Russians have over “Madam President” when they had copies of her 30,000 e-mails. The ones, including exchanges with President BO, that she helpfully kept on the Chappaqua server?
Sure it does, Nancy Pants.
Methinks the lady doth ‘protest too much’
All the Dems, in fact.
What are they hiding/covering up? Was it Putin’s $400 million dollar hilLIARy bombshell?
I notice everyone is talking about how Trump was not mean enough to Putin, and ignoring that other little thingy.
Yes Nancy honey.....
It means that President Vladimir Putin can speak the Russian language more fluently than President Trump...
Your right Nancy darling.
Well two can play this game.
Putin obviously has something on Pelosi, AND THAT’S why she’s acting this way.
So, Pelosi, what does Pakistan have on you?
The Ruskies DO have something on Trump. They know that he’s sharp and not to be underestimated.
They also have something on Pelosi. She’s a dumbass bimbo who is serving in the only position that a low IQ idiot can succeed: as a congresscritter. As such, they don’t give a shi...er...don’t give an Obama about anything she says.
Nancy,
There is no proof they meddled in the election. You don’t accuse Putin of something he didn’t do. Trump has common sense. You do not.
dont forget the sickle!
I think the dems and media expected Trump to turn Putin over his knee and give him a good spanking during the press conference...
The Russians did nothing. The DNC was not hacked and Pelosi knows it. The Obamodork DoJ and Intel agencies are corrupt as hell and have been lying to cover the illegal activities they engaged in at the behest of the Obamadork administration.
ha ha!
she should stop her lunatic ravings and rantings
and
do something useful
like get a shovel, pail, and sponge
and
start cleaning up all the sheet off the Streets of San FranShitco
Like she thinks they’d have less on Clinton?
REALLY NANCY??
Bet Putin has a lot more on Hillary and Hussein than he does on DJT.
Nancy is so scrambled she is having difficulty even walking, noticed that today when she exited the stage.she seemed very clumsy and unsteady.
she has a health issue for sure, as does Hillary. And DIFI will need a wheel chair before November...but no matter what, they all think they own their seats...
