Pelosi says she doesn’t believe in the word “hate”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-California, dressed down a reporter who asked her if she “hates” President Donald Trump. The clash occurred at a press conference in which Pelosi confirmed the Democrats in the House would be moving forward with Articles of Impeachment.

James Rosen, a reporter from the Sinclair Broadcast Group, defended his question. “Rep. Collins suggested yesterday that the Democrats are doing this simply because they don’t like the guy; I think it’s an important point,” Rosen said.

“As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president. And I still pray for the president all the time. So don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that,” Pelosi said.

President Trump says he does not believe Pelosi. He stands by his contention that the impeachment inquiry is a “witch hunt.”

“Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit,” Trump tweeted. “She hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and sooo much more. Stock Market and employment records. She says she ‘prays for the President.’ I don’t believe her, not even close. Help the homeless in your district Nancy.”
