CAN'T DIGEST IT! Nancy Pelosi refuses to talk about Donald Trump's 2024 run while eating during interview
WASHINGTON, DC: During a lunchtime interview with CNN, Nancy Pelosi was open about how she felt about the 76-year-old former President, Donald Trump. The 82-year-old California Democrat corrected the network's Jamie Gangel when the reporter inquired "what it would mean" if Trump were to win the presidency again in 2024: "I don't think we should speak about him while we're eating." “Really? Another Trump Trump presidency? Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) laughed as Pelosi continued.
Pelosi doubled down after Gangel pointed out that she had called the 45th president "insane," stating, “I think there’s a need for intervention there by his family or somebody. I don’t think he’s on the level, no.” The two Democratic leaders' joint interview with the cable network was conducted at a Chinese restaurant in the nation's capital, New York Post reported. For his part, Schumer assured Gangel that he was certain Trump would not be chosen as the 47th president. “I don’t think it will happen. The American people have gotten wise to it,” Schumer said. “It took a little while, but they did.”
