NO JOKE: Pelosi Spokesman Implies Trump Trying to Get Speaker Killed (Details)
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff has a tough job.
His position forces him to lie on a regular basis to protect his boss. It comes with the territory, regardless of party.
However, for Drew Hammill to imply that President Trump is putting Pelosi and other Democrats in danger is beyond the pale.
Hammill should apologize for being such a fear-mongering zealot.
On Thursday, Trump sent a letter to Pelosi informing her that he cancelled her upcoming trip to Europe and the Middle East.
Trump told Pelosi that she could not use military aircraft — which are funded by taxpayers — but could still make the trip if she wanted to fly commercial on her own dime.
LOOK:
The United States Congress is a co-equal branch of government in our system of checks and balances. The Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight in the war zone where our men and women in uniform are risking their lives every day.

After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines.

In the middle of the night, State Dept's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased danger to the delegation & to troops, security, & other officials supporting trip.

This morning, we learned that the Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well.

In light of the grave threats caused by the President’s action, the delegation has decided to postpone the trip so as not to further endanger our troops and security personnel, or the other travelers on the flights.

Whether here or abroad, the Speaker always thanks our troops, diplomats and intelligence community for their heroism & service. The Speaker commends her colleagues on the delegation, who personally & officially have dedicated their lives to protect & defend the American people.

Pelosi was planning to head to Belgium, Egypt, and Afghanistan on the taxpayers’ dime – as one does when elected to public office.
Her bags were all packed. She was ready to go.
Then, President Trump said no dice.
If Nancy wants to fly overseas to bash America she’ll have to fly private.

What happened next?
Pelosi’s luggage was sent back to her office!
From Free Beacon:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s luggage has been returned to the halls of congress by cart, according to a picture sent to the Washington Free Beacon by a snap-happy tipster.
WATCH:
The border wall is a “luxury” that America “can’t afford.”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi must really hate her country to say something this asinine.
Turning to the wall, Pelosi said, “It’s a luxury our country can’t afford under any circumstance. This is certainly a luxury we can’t afford when he has shut down government, takes pride in it and says months or years.”
WATCH:
MSNBC held a town hall with new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
One person asked the pro-abortion “Catholic” woman if she supports the black lives matter movement.
Within Nancy’s long-winded response, she mentioned three words Democrats will absolutely hate.
“Well, I support the recognition that Black Lives Matter for sure and I have incorporated that in many of my statements. I think that all lives matter, yes, but it has—we really have to redress past grievances in terms of how we have addressed the African-American community.“

What’s that, Nancy?
ALL LIVES MATTER?
Well. Who’da thunk Pelosi was such a racist, huh?
HAHAHAHAHA! Classic.
What are the odds the media calls Nancy out on her gaffe?

Pelosi’s first act is forcing Americans to pay for abortions.
That’s not hyperbole.
It is a fact.
Pelosi’s first priority as the next Speaker is to attempt to force Americans to pay for abortions and to funnel taxpayer dollars to the nation’s biggest abortion business. She wants Americans to be forced to fund Planned Parenthood and its International group’s efforts to promote and perform abortions in other countries.
Remember, this is the same “Catholic” Nancy Pelosi who has been barred from receiving holy communion.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has no Catholic right to be granted Communion, said the leading cardinal of the highest court at the Vatican.
