Pelosi defends vacation jabs at Trump: Maybe he doesn't realize Hawaii is in US
By Avery Anapol - 01/03/19 09:45 AM EST

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended her vacation to Hawaii during the government shutdown, taking a jab at President Trump on the day she is set to be elected House Speaker.

In an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie on "Today," Pelosi said that maybe Trump “doesn’t realize” Hawaii was in the U.S. and that she would have been easily able to return to Washington if necessary.

“The president may not know this, but Hawaii is part of the United States of America, maybe he doesn’t realize that,” she said. “That’s why he said Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States when he was born in Hawaii.”

“Hawaii has airports and airlines and telephones, so the communication is good,” she said.

Pelosi defended the trip, saying that she observed the Christmas holiday, and that the shutdown actually “cut in half” on her time with family.

Florida is also in the United States. That's the place your party condemned Trump from going to over the shutdown.

Maybe Pelosi should stay in Hawaii.  Oh, wait, no.  I live here and I don't want her.

The rats, and especially this miserable gorgon, always go way way over the top with their insults of the president yet unlike Trump are never called to account for them. They've totally unanchored themselves from any pretense of civil restraint in an almost childlike way yet I haven't heard anyone in the media suggest they should dial back.

Another one of those things I guess.

New Jersey is part of the United States, too, but I didn't see her taking vacation there.

Pelosi is rumored to be able to remove your head before you even know you're bleeding. That must be whats she's doing here.

Just days ago some major scribbler was telling us she's gonna pull something Very Smart to pull down Trump.

How? By getting Hillary to reprogram UNIVAC for her?

Maybe she doesn't realize that where she vacationed wasn't the point of our criticism.

I think it's both the fact that she vacationed when the work wasn't done and the fact that she went to a luxury resort and not just home for the holidays that deserves criticism.

Just another example of the screaming contempt she and hers hold we Deplorables in.

And just think.   We will now have to put up with this elitist dumbazz for at least another two years.  The only good thing I can see about it (silver lining)...

is that we're not having to also put up with Barack Hussein Obama in the WH.  (unless Mooshelle runs and wins in 2020, that is)

 888mouth  I'd settle for her just stepping down. I am amazed that the DEMS elected her Speaker yet again.  Either they're more stupid than I thought or they really don't have anyone qualified to replace her.

Just another case of Liberals projecting their own ignorance and treacherous behavior on Republicans.

Pelosi should be careful talking about who knows what about American States. It was Obama who had no clue about America or its States.

It's much easier to return to DC from London or Paris than Hawaii.   What's her point ??  (Rhetorical)

Hawaii is the most vacationy vacation we ever took.

Silly Nancy.

Dumb Nancy.

Was stationed in Pearl Harbor for two and half years, had all the pineapple, sun, constant 80 degree weather, and Waikiki Beach I could take. I was really glad to get back stateside.

Fortunately, I spent a lot of it all over Asia. Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, all over Australia, New Guinea, all the way up to the Aleutian Islands. We went everywhere.

Hah!  My son lives in Colorado and I'm always telling him to appreciate the weather changes even when it's zero degrees and snowing.  Because it's interesting.  We do have boring weather here.  High of 80 every day with a low of 68.  Perfect can be boring.

That's why it's perfect in two week increments.

NO one gets tired of perfect in two weeks!

But I love living in Ohio with 4 clear seasons.......... just wish we'd get some snow this winter.  Brown is boring.  White is pretty.  happy77

My brother lived in California for a time and said the same thing about the monotony of the weather.

But since it's been pretty cold (for Texas) for the last couple of days...I would like to see how endless days of 80/68 would be before I got bored with it. :laugh:  But I have a friend that married a native Hawaiian and lived there for a number of years.  She calls it a Bejewelled Cage.

But I wouldn't leave here. The sun will come out tomorrow (a song, perhaps?).  I will say that I could never live in Seattle or Alaska...I need sun.

She's there, like Tokyo Rose, to publicly spew the Party Desideratum.

Because, no matter How Stupid it makes her look, her seat is protected.

Doesn't matter what inanity she vomits out NO Republican is going to replace her representing San Francisco, unlike the other Rats in purple States and Districts.

Nancy already is looking and sounding like a dementia patient. I predict it's only going to get worse (or better, depending on your viewpoint). Someday, she's going to stand at the microphone to rail against Trump and say something even stupider and less coherent, and the media won't be able to cover for her.
