Pelosi objects ‘as a Catholic’ to being accused of hate
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a reporter “Don’t mess with me!” when he asked if she hated President Trump, after she had accused him of “abuse of power, undermining our national security and jeopardising the integrity of our elections”.
“I don’t hate anybody,” she said. “This is about the Constitution of the United States and the facts that lead to the President’s violation of the oath of office. And as a Catholic I resent your using the word ‘hate’ in a sentence that addresses me.” She added: “Don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.” Trump responded in a tweet: “She says she ‘prays for the President’. I don’t believe her, not even close.”
