https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/pelosi-taunts-trump-and-wonders-if-hell-take-a-leave-of-absence-from-presidency/
Thursday, during her weekly press conference, Pelosi was asked by reporters how she plans to get things done without Trump. She told them to ask the president that question since hes the one who seems to be going on strike.
We have always been responsible, Pelosi said of the Congress. Left to their own devices, our appropriators on disaster assistance, we could have gotten there, left to their own devices of the appropriators until the White House intervened. We will have to pass the appropriations bills, and we will. And hopefully, we will do them in a very timely fashion. The debt ceiling will have to be lifted, and thats a matter of a conversation were having on the debt ceiling.
She went on to say that shes not the one saying that if investigations continue Washington will come to a stand-still.
Were not saying, as the president said, if you dont stop investigating me, if you dont stop honoring your oath of office, I cant work with you. Thats basically what hes saying, Pelosi said. Maybe he wants to take a leave of absence. I dont know. But on the other hand, we understand what our responsibilities are. Were fully prepared to go forward. It really will be up to them to have some level of cooperation.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday declined to respond to an attack by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway because she is staff.
At a press conference, Pelosi was asked about reports that Conway told her she was not pro-woman because she would only negotiate with President Donald Trump.
One reporter noted that Conway had expanded on her remarks in a Fox News interview on Thursday where she accused Pelosi of treating her like a maid.
Im not going to talk about her, Pelosi said, putting her hand up. I responded as the Speaker of the House to the president of the United States. Other conversations people want to have among themselves is up to them.

She's desperately struggling to become relevant, and just keeps digging in deeper and deeper.

As if, if Pelosi sent a female member of her staff to negotiate with drumpf, said woman would even be allowed in the same room. Conway is just playing a misogyny card to try and make Pelosi look bad when she knows damn well that has nothing to do with anything here. Drumpf is the decision maker. That is who Congress talks to.

You're 100% correct...if Pelosi sent a "Kellyanne" to interact with Trump on any level, she would promptly be turned around and sent back to wherever she came from. I think Conway is smart enough to know this, but also ignorant enough to be in the dark about her own total irrelevance.

Talk to the hand.
Nancy Pelosi is great at cutting through bullshit.
