Pelosi Asks Congressional Republicans: Did You Take An Oath To America Or Trump?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi asked Thursday if Congressional Republicans were more loyal to the country or President Donald Trump.

During a press conference on Capitol Hill, Pelosi was asked about the White House meeting Wednesday at which the president reportedly stormed out of the room when he was told Democrats would not allocate any money for his wall on the Southern border. Pelosi noted:

“I think the meeting was a setup so he could walk out. I don’t even know if the president wants the wall.”

Pelosi also said she’s perplexed that Republicans in Congress refuse to fund the government and end the shutdown instigated by Trump’s demand for billions of dollars for his wall:

“Do you take an oath to the Constitution or an oath to Donald Trump?”

The Speaker doubled down on that sentiment via Twitter:

And Pelosi got plenty of support from others on social media who said Trump is to blame for being inflexible on the issues related to the shutdown and wall:

The GOP is now the Party of Trump. That alone should terrify anyone who cares about this country and its future.
