WATCH: After Pelosi calls the wall immoral a religious expert sets her straight
Earlier this year, Nancy Pelosi emphatically described the situation on the southern border as a “manufactured crisis.”
“It will take days to fact-check all the misrepresentations that the President made tonight,” Pelosi said in a statement after Trump’s State of the Union address. “Instead of fear-mongering and manufacturing a crisis at the border, President Trump should commit to signing the bipartisan conference committee’s bill to keep government open and provide strong, smart border security solutions.”
Heck, Pelosi and Schumer USED THOSE EXACT WORDS in the rebuttal.
“Most presidents have used Oval Office addresses for noble purposes,” Schumer said in the rebuttal. “This president just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.”
But now? Now Pelosi’s denying all of it. She wants everyone to know that Democrats ALWAYS acknowledged this as a crisis!
“Well, let me just say this. We’ve never not said that there was a crisis — there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, and some of it provoked by the actions taken by the administration,” Pelosi told a reporter.
R U F’REAL.
“So, what’s happening at the border is tragic, and we hope to address some of that in the supplemental that is coming, the disaster supplemental, to provide some of the resources that are needed there,” she added.
She then used the word “crisis” again, for good measure.
“But, yes, it is a crisis,” she added. We’ve always said that it gets to be more of a humanitarian crisis the more that Republicans – the Administration, I won’t paint all the Republicans with this – the more the Administration acts in the shameful way, not consistent with our faith, with our beliefs that every person has dignity and worth.”
No words. None.
