The war of words between Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi has been ongoing for years now, as the former President and longtime House Speaker are once again headed for a showdown of sorts.
Trump has recently been subpoenaed by the January 6th select committee, with the group not only seeking a trove of documents from The Don, but his testimony as well.
This week, Pelosi attempted to insult Trump by using some rather childish language.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she doesn’t believe former President Donald Trump is “man enough” to appear in front of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
“I don’t think he’s man enough to show up,” Pelosi said during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC. “I don’t think his lawyers will want him to show up because he has to testify under oath. But I don’t think he’ll show up. I don’t think he’s man enough. We’ll see.”
Pelosi’s comments come after the committee subpoenaed Trump on Friday, saying the former president must turn over any critical documents related to the riots by Nov. 4 and appear the committee by Nov. 14.
There’s no telling what Trump’s inclination may be as far as testifying goes.
In a 14-page letter to the Jan. 6 select committee earlier this month, Trump refused to say whether he would comply with a potential subpoena or appear before the committee.
“Despite very poor television ratings, the Unselect Committee has perpetuated a Show Trial the likes of which this Country has never seen before,” Trump said in the letter.
But according to a source close to Trump, the former president “loves the idea of testifying” before the committee, telling Fox News Digital last week that Trump would use the opportunity to “talk about how corrupt the election was, how corrupt the committee was, and how Nancy Pelosi did not call up the National Guard that Trump strongly recommended for her to do three days earlier on Jan. 3, 2021.”
This is the sort of reverse psychology that stops working sometimes around 5th grade, yet here we are, witnessing the unbridled pettiness of the Democratic Party one again.
