Kellyanne Conway, the White House counselor, on Friday accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of giving in to the "men around her" when she announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump over a July 25 phone call with the newly elected president of Ukraine.
Democrats--citing a newly released whistleblower complaint-- claim that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in military aid from Kiev unless it agreed to investigate his potential 2020 rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter's business dealing in the country.
Both Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied that there was an unspoken quid pro quo. Trump insisted that the call was "perfect" and he was just doing his due diligence to make sure the country was working to weed out corruption.
Conway addressed reporters outside the White House on Friday and accused Pelosi of taking the inquiry plunge-- not because of new evidence-- but because she was taking orders from men around her. Conway said a move like that is the worst thing a "woman in power can do."

It must be MISERABLE to be a red hat.

(10,122 posts)As for Nancy, in the face of the evidence:
a) what else could she do? how could she look away?
b) Trump & the GOP are ignoring/fighting all the information/documentation requests from the House. As Nixon found out, it is tougher to get away with that in the courts when one is being investigated for impeachment
They may never get a vote to impeach from the GOP but the GOP's 2020 candidate with minus 8 approval now is going to get messed up a bunch in the polls by some ugly irrefutable facts coming out.
