Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) criticized Republicans for turning the House of Representatives “into a puppet show.”
Pelosi’s words of reproach came during a debate for a resolution over whether to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for his role in the Russia probe of former President Donald Trump. The censure resolution, which was introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), suggests Schiff falsely claimed that “he had evidence” of Trump’s collusion with Russia in the 2016 Presidential election.
“They’ve turned it into a puppet show, a puppet show, and you know what?” said Pelosi on Wednesday. “The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings.”
Pelosi remarked at how “miserable” her Republican colleagues looked.
“The only advantage to all of this is that instead of reversing what we did on the (Inflation Reduction Act) to save the planet, or reversing what we did to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you’re wasting time,” Pelosi said, continuing to chastise GOP lawmakers.
