Pelosi: "No, no. Nothing for the wall. How many more times can we say no? Nothing for the wall."

[Miles Archer]

Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other congressional Democrats have rejected President Donald Trump's calls for $5 billion of funding for a wall on the southern border.

"Are you willing to come up and give him some of this money for the wall?" NBC's Savannah Guthrie asked Pelosi in an interview slated to air in full Thursday.

"No, no. Nothing for the wall," Pelosi replied. "We're talking about border security."

"We can go through this all back and forth -- no," Pelosi added. "How many more times can we say no? Nothing for the wall."

1. Now that's what I'm talking about. This is why she should and will be Speaker.

[trev]

7. Absolutely.

She is in complete control. I back her unequivocably.

8. So glad the "Pelosi needs to step down to make room for a new face" brigade has quieted down

I can't imagine anyone thinking that anyone but Pelosi should be in that spot right now.

2. KR!!

3. "My offer is this.....nothing"

4. Steady as she goes

11. The media is prodding Trump and Pelosi trying to turn it into a feud

Let it go. Quit talking about a wall and start talking about border security. Pelosi should state that if Trump can demonstrate the effectiveness of a wall over other security measures she will listen but so far it's reason for being is all made up.

5. So . . . you're saying there's a chance?

Sorry, didn't mean to steal the thunder from the media's headlines tomorrow.

6. What a wonderful woman to have on our side and as Speaker

[onetexan]

9. So proud of her for sticking to her gunz & not giving an inch

And so glad she's on our side

10. Only thing I'd have added: he promised Mexico was going to pay for it, so why does he want

American taxpayers to pay 5 billion?

12. King tRumpy is about to get slapped across the face

with a big wet fish almost every single day.

Start the poppers....this is gonna be AWESOME.

13. $5B is just a down payment on that stupid concept anyway. Throw that in their face.

$5B doesn't complete the project, it's just a first installment on something that will, at best, be 30% effective.

14. Always the Ds that have to cave it seems.

Theyre afraid to pose these questions to don and his cohorts.
