Conway clashes with Pelosi after Trump infrastructure blow-up

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway engaged in a tense exchange with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday after President Trump suddenly cut short a meeting on infrastructure.

Trump left the meeting after berating Democrats for roughly three minutes about their investigations and Pelosi's claim that he had "engaged in a cover-up."

Pelosi then told others who remained that past Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt worked with their opponents to solve infrastructure problems, but added she was not surprised Trump walked away, according to a source familiar with the exchange.

Conway then turned to Pelosi and asked if she had "a direct response to the president."

When Pelosi replied that she was responding to the president, and not to his staff, Conway replied: "Really great, that's really pro-woman of you."

The back-and-forth underscored the animosity between Trump and Democrats following the president's decision to pull the plug on infrastructure talks.

but her weak sauce attack at Pelosi was entirely her idea. I cringe thinking about the 'brain trust' that the orange anus has surrounding himself.

I don't think Conway was quite prepared for Pelosi to be ready for her toadying little trollery. Conway was punching way above her class, and Pelosi put her back where she belongs.

A propos of nothing in particular, I think it was then-heavyweight champion Joe Louis who was socializing in a bar one night. As often happens some mug decided to annoy the Champ, trying to provoke a reaction: Come on, tough guy, let's see how tough you really are. The mug persisted until Louis had finally had enough, and Louis turned on him and said, "Listen pal, and get this good: If you hit me and I find out about it, you'll be in big trouble."

Kellyanne enters the ring as a lightweight. Nancy Pelosi enters the ring as the heavyweight champion. The outcome is a foregone conclusion!
