Pelosi Roasts McConnell And Trump In DNC Speech

The New York Daily News reports:



House Speaker Nancy Pelosi railed against President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in her Democratic convention speech on Wednesday — accusing them of standing in the way of America’s progress.

“As Speaker, I’ve seen firsthand Donald Trump’s disrespect for facts, for working families, and for women in particular — disrespect written into his policies toward our health and our rights, not just his conduct,” Pelosi (D. Calif) said.

The Baltimore-born lawmaker, 80, accused Trump and McConnell (R. Ky) of squashing House Democrats’ plans for LGBTQ equality, gun control and environmental protections but vowed to continue her takeover of the House in November.
