Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has not lived up to her title as a leader. She proved that again, just the other day. Instead of answering a phone call from Vice President Mike Pence regarding Iranian missile attacks on American troops, Nancy decided to consciously blow him off.

She shouldn’t have done that and she knows it. But she’ll claim it’s because she had other responsibilities. Did she? Maybe. But probably not. At the end of the day, when the man one heartbeat away from the presidency calls, you answer.

It’s pretty much that simple.

In meeting tonight Speaker Pelosi was handed a note telling her VP Pence was on the phone.

Reaction:

Speaker Pelosi doesn't like it when the administration doesn't give her foreign policy updates. So VP Pence calls with word of Iran missile attack. 'Tell him I'll call him back,' Pelosi says. From @danielchaitin7 https://t.co/OpXQ88xIeg

During a meeting tonight, House Speaker Pelosi was discussing the situation in Iran with members when she was handed a note with news of the attack on US forces in Iraq, lawmakers who attended the meeting said.

“Pray,” Pelosi told members, according to Rep. Debbie Dingell.

Closely monitoring the situation following bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq. We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war.

From Washington Examiner:

The California Democrat was participating in a closed-door meeting with the Democratic caucus Tuesday evening when she received a note that said Vice President Mike Pence was on the phone.

“Tell him I’ll call him back,” Pelosi said, sources told a Politico reporter. Pelosi mentioned she had to open the House for a new session.

All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.

No US casualties reported yet, says US official. A total of 15 Iranian missiles hit al Asad and Irbil. 10 struck al Asad and only 1 hit Irbil. 4 blew up in flight. US was tracking the launches and personnel at the bases had advanced warning, giving them time to take cover.

Iran making threats of mass escalation. To attack more bases in Iraq. To unleash Hezbollah. To unleash shiite militias in Iraq. To attack Israel and Dubai. Making it clear it is ready for a widespead campaign if this escalates further with a US response.

Ultimately, don’t sleep on this Iran story. It could be a very big deal that may or may not cost Trump the 2020 election. No joke.
