Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Mitt Romney's vote to convict Pres. Trump on one article of impeachment: 'God bless him for his courage.'
The White House is billing the noon event in the East Room as"remarks," and not calling it a news conference. Chairs for guests were being set up and reporters were being allowed only at the back of the room.
On GOP Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote to convict, Grisham said she was “disappointed but sadly wasn't surprised” and attacked him as a flip-flopper who is “bitter” that he’s not president. Earlier at the prayer breakfast -- what is supposed to be an annual non-political events where politicians and others come together to pray -- Trump appeared to target the Utah Republican who voted to convict him after saying he was guided by his faith.
"Nor do I like people who say, I pray for you, when they know that that's not so," an apparent reference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sitting nearby, who has said she prays for Trump daily.“Weeks ago, and again yesterday, courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude and strength to do what everyone knows was right,” he said.
