Pelosi snaps at Conway after tense White House meeting:‘I don’t talk to staff...'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a tense, aborted meeting on infrastructure Wednesday, a senior administration official told CNBC.

“I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said after Conway asked the speaker a question, according to the official.

The interaction followed President Donald Trump’s abrupt exit from a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders.

Pelosi earlier in the day accused the president of engaging in a “cover-up” by blocking White House aides from providing testimony and responding to document requests from congressional investigations.

The president responded by saying he doesn’t “do cover-ups” and that he could not work with Democrats on legislation until they stopped investigating him.

In a last-minute press event at the Rose Garden, Trump said he “walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, ‘I want to do infrastructure’ ... but we can’t do it under these circumstances.”

She quickly forgets the USA is not a British monarchy and she's not queen of the house,.....The USA is a Republic.

You can talk directly with the secret service as you are being escorted out the door.

B*tch.

Pelosi sees herself as the highest ranking woman in the Governing Bodies....and exactly why she was going to retire had Hillary won....not room for two women at the top.

Pelosi is unfit for office .

She needs to take an MMPI Test. When she fails, remove her from office.

She is mentally sick.

Yeah, I got banned once.

I know how to be subtle, now.

Just reminding them how Pelosi won the glorious victory for Hillary in 2016.

“Sounds like Nancy was pissed because her little evil plan was short circuited by Trump not playing their stupid game.”

You hit the nail square on the head. She was just that much more pissed, because he knew exactly what she was so obviously up to. The Democrat lies to itself constantly about how it is so much more clever than anyone else that nobody can see through their games. Unfortunately for them they are the most obvious in all the land.

“I’m a feckless idiot. That’s why I don’t talk to staff. They are smarter than me... just saying.”

After Trump left the room, Conway asked the Speaker if she had a “direct response to the president,”

“I’m responding to the president, not staff,” Pelosi shot back.

Conway slammed Pelosi’s dismissal of her.

“Really great. That’s really pro-woman of you,” the White House counselor is said to have responded.

I don’t know what school Pelozi went to but I don’t think there were feminists in the 17th century.

Conway’s husband won’t say a word about Pelozi...nope...it is all an act.

If he were a real man, he’d drop a few Twitter bombs on her, too.
