Pelosi: Trump's comments prove he doesn't 'know right from wrong'

Pelosi: Trump comment is an 'assault on our democracy' 00:44


(CNN) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Donald Trump's openness to a foreign government offering damaging information about a political rival is "a very sad thing" and "appalling," pointing to legislation from Democrats calling on campaigns to report foreign offers of assistance.

"The President gave us once again evidence that he does not know right from wrong," she said at her weekly press conference. "It's a very sad thing, a very sad thing that he does not know right from wrong. "She repeated her belief that Trump has participated in "a criminal cover up."

And she mentioned legislation that will mandate campaigns to report foreign offers of assistance.
"It's so self-evident as a matter of ethics but we'll have to codify it," she said.

I am very glad they installed this moron. He is pretty unmanageable overall, even for them.
Someone like Pence, or yertle, could do a lot more damage.

I don't know when or why, but Trump will step in some more, and then the need for impeachment will become clearer and more pressing.

2. He knows. He doesn't care because he believes that the rules and laws don't apply to him.

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING that will come between him and his greed and ego needs.

trouble, and they will be exposed and possibly prosecuted. Over time, they will be prosecuted. Trump will fire some of those prosecutors, but there will be others, and I believe some in his family will end up in jail.

Yeh, and what if they don't report it, and win the election?? And install a corrupt AG who won't do anything?

Didn't we just see this happen?

i have been noticing lately how the "both sides" mentality has gotten stronger and sketchier. his brain is broken. he cannot compare, he cannot decide, and he cannot talk.
