The Speaker of the House visiting a war zone in Afghanistan is not a "public relations event"

Keith Boykin @keithboykin 2m2 minutes ago
It took Trump two years to visit US troops in a war zone.

It took him 12 days to acknowledge 4 US soldiers killed in Niger.

Maybe he doesn’t understand that Nancy Pelosi visiting a war zone in Afghanistan is not an “excursion.” It’s a solemn duty that he should take seriously.

I know you spent a couple of hours in Iraq but why don't you reach down deep and find the courage to briefly visit American's stationed in Afghanistan?

EVERYTHING he does is a PR stunt. It's no surprise he thinks everyone else operates this way, as well. And, especially considering he STILL has no fucking clue as to how the government works two years into it.
