'Nasdrovia!': Pelosi Greets Trump Staffers at Gridiron Dinner
Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi welcomed senior members of the new administration to the 132nd annual Gridiron Dinner Saturday with a pointed joke about President Donald Trump's Russia troubles.
"I know that the rituals of the Gridiron can be formal, so I want to greet them in a way they're more familiar with: Nasdrovia!" Pelosi said. "Speaking of … we were told that Jeff Sessions intended to be here tonight, but I understand he had to recuse himself. Excuse! Excuse."
Though Vice President Mike Pence came armed with jokes of his own, Trump skipped the traditional white-tie dinner which features music, skits and humorous remarks from senior government officials that roast politicos on both sides of the aisle. But Trump's absence only provided more comedic fodder for Pelosi, who poked fun at her own party's nominee while focusing the majority of her punch lines on the president.
"Does the president know you're here, laughing it up with the enemies of the American people?" Pelosi asked Pence, who arrived in black tie. "It's okay, Mr. Vice President, people here can keep a secret. This isn't the White House."
