On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) asked House Democrats to proceed with articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Soon after, Pelosi snapped on a reporter during a press conference when asked if she “hates the president.”
“I don’t hate anyone. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president. And I still pray for the president. I pray for the president all the time. So, don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that,” Pelosi vented.
Senator Lindsey Graham responded to Pelosi’s decision to move forward with impeachment and referenced her saying she prays for President Trump throughout the process.
“Glad to see @SpeakerPelosi is ‘keeping her word’ to be thoughtful and prayerful about impeachment,” Senator Graham said in a tweet.
“One day after hearings involving law professors giving their opinions she is directing Articles of Impeachment be drafted,” he added. “Salem witches got better deals than this.” Continued Below
Moments later in a second tweet, Graham labeled Pelosi as the “conductor” of the “impeachment train” and insinuated The Squad of four freshman congresswomen is fueling it.
“Speaker Pelosi is the conductor of the impeachment train in name only,” Graham said in his tweet.
“The American people understand @SpeakerPelosi has 2 choices: Drive the train or be Run Over by It. She’s living in fear of The Squad,” he declared. See Below
