Speaker Pelosi spokesperson statement on President Trump postponing her foreign trip via military

Speaker Pelosi spokesperson statement on President Trump postponing her foreign trip via military aircraft:

Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hammill pointed out in a multi-part response on Twitter that Trump visited U.S. troops in Iraq shortly after the partial government shutdown went into effect last month.

The purpose of Pelosi's planned trip "was to express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform for their service & dedication, & to obtain critical national security & intelligence briefings from those on the front lines," Hammill wrote.

The itinerary included a required stop in Brussels to allow the pilot to rest, the statement said, adding that the delegation planned to meet NATO commanders, U.S. military leaders and key allies "to affirm the United States’ ironclad commitment to the NATO alliance." The trip did not include a stop in Egypt, Hammill said.

1. Well, no wonder this trip had to be stopped

But the fact that McDonald publicly revealed this classified foreign trip is just one more charge of abuse of power to add to the impeachment pile.

28. McDonald - L to the O to the L!

2. Class, not ass.

[Goodheart]

6. Exactly. Perfect response. No more needs to be said.

[Raven123]

30. Agree. Correct the errors and say nothing

He's hoping for a response that will signal either capitulation or a fight. Wouldn't engage him. Lots of bad news spilling from the media and actual Congressional investigations just getting started. Let him stew in his own juicy mess

3. "Link to tweet" isn't much of a statement

LOTS of us read this at work

[superpatriotman]

5. Thank you

I can't see effin' tweets in threads. So irritating

[herding cats]

8. I added a photo of the statement.

[superpatriotman]

That is most kind.

7. I added a photo of the statement.

[FiveGoodMen]

10. Thanks.

It's apparently on another blocked site, so no image either.

If you really want everyone to know what's in a tweet, it works best to cut and paste the text into your post.

[herding cats]

12. The text is in an image in the tweet by nbc.

I'm sure they'll have it up soon and I'll copy it to here.

The hosting site I used was imgur. I'm sorry your work blocks it too it's kind of hit and miss with them.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. Understood. Thanks for trying!

[herding cats]

17. You're welcome. Here's a link to the article they link in the tweet.

The statement isn't added yet, but I imagine this will be where they post it.

[herding cats]

21. Updated with text.

[FiveGoodMen]

23. Thanks, again!

[Sanity Claws]

4. Statement seemed aimed to show that T-rump is harming our national security

without saying it in so many words.

Really makes him sound dangerous, as well as childish.

[OMGWTF]

29. Traitor Tot IS dangerous and childish

[honest.abe]

9. Good grief. This lunatic must be removed from office.

What more does he need to do to justify impeachment and removal??

Petty Trump tries to cancel a trip that Nancy Pelosi already canceled and wasn't going on

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Nope. That has been debunked. Trip was on until tRump cancelled it one hour. People on the bus then.

13. I think he imagines this as payback for NP cancelling the SOTU. He's a small and petty SOB, so this

is his little victory IMO.

[Volaris]

20. Yeah, except what this reads like to me is that he zipped a spitwad at her,

And (once again), she turned around and slapped vlads dick right out of his mouth.

[WeekiWater]

15. I'm willing to bet that short snip will be read on the nightly news when this is discussed.

Well done. The second section is short enough for the news.

[spanone]

16. The President traveled to Iraq during the Trump Shutdown as did a Republican CODEL led by Rep Zeldin

'The President traveled to Iraq during the Trump Shutdown as did a Republican CODEL led by Rep Zeldin'

BINGO

try harder, don.

Baby Trump needs a change.

[mastermind]

19. tRumps just following putins orders. nt

[W T F]

24. I guess now that she has free time on her hands............................

...she can stay in Washington, and draw up Articles of Impeachment

[pdsimdars]

25. How much more unglued will he become before the Republicans start to stand up and be counted?

[DemoTex]

27. Bottom line: Speaker Pelosi is safer here.

Why tempt this madman and his Russian handlers? Rember KAL 007. Remember MH 17. Nancy Pelosi is far too important in this fight for survival to put at risk.

[defacto7]

31. I tend to agree.
