Speaker Pelosi is on board with the "squad" why else is she putting a motion on the House floor condemning Trump's tweets? A condemnation of the "squad's" press conference is a condemnation of Pelosi.

It seems to me that the purpose of this thread is to get Democrats to fight among themselves again. Trump just gave Speaker Pelosi the means to unite her caucus.
