Stephen Miller Was Drafting SOTU Blaming Democrats For Shutdown
Aw! Nancy Pelosi ruined the White House plan to use the State of the Union as a Stephen Miller-penned diatribe against Democrats. How will they fundraise for Trump 2020 now?
By David
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) may have thrown a wrench into President Donald Trumps primetime plan to blame Democrats for the shutdown.
Citing security concerns on Wednesday, Pelosi called on the president to delay his State of the Union Address or submit it in writing if the government was still shut down.
According to CNNs Kaitlan Collins, Trump speechwriter Stephen Miller had been planning to blame Democrats for the shutdown as a centerpiece of the annual speech.

Pelosi first extended the invitation for Trump to address Congress after she became Speaker on Jan. 3. As Speaker, she has the power to rescind the invitation.

I'm confused.

It won't have the same effect as it would in front of Congress and others.
