Pelosi to Block Trump's SOTU Address Despite Government Reopening

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By Tyler Durden  /  ZeroHedge

In a move that’s sure to infuriate President Trump and likely impede negotiations over the border security funding that Trump has demanded be part of any permanent plan to avert another shutdown, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is still planning to postpone the State of the Union by refusing to officially invite the president to give the annual speech on Tuesday.

Asked about the SOTU, Pelosi said after a deal to end the shutdown had been reached that she and the president would discuss holding the SOTU once the government had reopened, a cryptic response that many interpreted as meaning the speech would be postponed, according to USA Today.

Drew Hammill, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, later affirmed that the speech wouldn’t be happening on 1/29. And on Sunday, CNN’s Jim Sciutto reported that an aide to Pelosi had anonymously confirmed that the House wouldn’t consider the concurrent resolution that must be passed to officially invite the president to House chambers, where the speech has traditionally been held.

For his part, Trump has said that he wouldn’t look for an alternative venue for the speech. On Jan. 23, he tweeted that no venue would match the “history, tradition and historic importance of the House Chamber”.

We imagine we’ll be hearing more from Trump on this very sensitive subject in the near future.

      It sure does look like he is caving to that silly old broad.
      Lets hope he has something up his sleeve, he is looking mighty weak right now.
      I am hoping Americas last hope hasn’t just been squashed like a bug.

      Not to worry, Trump is playing a game and he wins always. The wall will be built. He saw to that long ago.

      The democrats have lost it toally and Pelosi is their leader now? Wow, nice Sci-fi movie going on with them. They spend all their time trying to find new ways to take down Trump, make him look bad and accuse him of crimes that they know he is not guilty of. Sick group. No republican has ever acted this way. Imagine if they acted toward Obama as the democrats are acting toward Trump?

      Well she is not the President, have the handcuffs ready for a gatecrasher. Surely they have security at this meeting.

      An old wicked lady holding this nation hostage from a legal and very much “People’s” President. May she meet the same fate as her aunty Jezebel who wild dogs ate till only her hands were left. :cool:
