Chuckles has NO say-so in the Senate; the Turtle does.
Actually I’m sure the VP or President Pro Tem would be the one to invite, but probably a majority could overrule them. With a GOP majority that’s not an issue of course, Billy.
Pelosi suggested he do a written address so obviously he can’t “save face” by doing that.
Oval office is no good, he just spoke from the Oval, he’s better with an audience. And that’s what this hoebag wanted to deny him. Some say she’s also worried about her far left heckling the President and embarrassing themselves.
He’s backed down and will wait and do it in the House. I think that’s a mistake, it comes off as a win for the c-word. One problem though on such short notice, decent venues are probably all booked.
The Senate is small but I think that could have worked. You don’t need so many “guests” and the bitch wouldn’t be there sitting behind him (I don’t know if I can look at that, I wish OAN or someone would be willing/able to edit her out of the broadcast).
Since Pelosi’s prextext was “security” my first preference would have been for Trump to show up at the House chamber with the army.
