White House feigns surprise at Pelosi 'prison' comments


By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 06/06/2019 12:23 PM EDT

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comment this week that she would rather see President Donald Trump “in prison” than impeached “shows the true colors of the Democratic Party,” the White House said Thursday.

“How shocking," White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp said sarcastically in an interview on Fox News. "The Democrats are radical and out of touch. They're more focused on attacking this president, undermining this president, than they are to solving the major problems that we're seeing in the United States.”

Pelosi made the comment during a meeting Tuesday night in which she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler about whether to open an impeachment inquiry into the president. Pelosi, who’s resisted a growing chorus of calls for impeachment from her caucus, remained firm in that she wants to see Trump defeated at the ballot box next year, when he would then be free from the Justice Department’s restraints on indicting a sitting president.

“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said at that meeting, multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting told POLITICO.

Worked for Fox, the NRA, and along with her right wing husband has a political consulting
business that brings in >$1,000,000 per year since Trump was put into the Presidency by
Russia. Who gives a fuck what she thinks?
