House SpeakerNancy Pelosiflipped the script on President Donald Trump after he attacked her on social media.
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted out a photo of Pelosi, 79, standing up with her finger pointed at him while he sat beside many Congressional leaders. He captioned the shot, “Nervous Nancy’s unhinged meltdown!”
The Democratic congresswoman did not engage with Trump, 73, on Twitter, but simply made the photo hercover image on the social media platform.
“Thanks for the new cover photo @realDonaldTrump!” Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, tweeted at the president.
Accordingto CNN, the Democratic leaders — which included Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — attended the White House meeting to discuss the House of Representative’s resolution opposing the Trump administration’s ordered troop withdrawal from northern Syria.
Schumer, 68, told reporters after the meeting that he and the other top Congressional Democrats “walked out” of the meeting after Trump “started calling Speaker Pelosi a third rate-politician.”
“He was insulting, particularly to the speaker,” Schumer said, per CNN. “She kept her cool completely, but he called her a third-rate politician,” Schumer said. “This was not a dialogue, it was sort of a diatribe. A nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts.”
Trump shared another photo from the meeting and confirmed the Democrat walk-out. “The Do Nothing Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer stormed out of the Cabinet Room!” he wrote.
