Way too much to excerpt. It's a long article but well worth the read.


April Ryan tweet about it:

7. This quote from Speaker Pelosi reported by Laura Bassett grabbed me.

Laura Bassett, freelance journalist: For a profile,I asked Nancy Pelosi questions about her relationship with Trump, and she got annoyed. She hates him. She doesn't want her legacy tied up with him. I wanted to know whether her relationship with Trump was always contentious from when he won, or if it deteriorated. She dryly said, "It definitely deteriorated." I said, "Can you pinpoint a moment when things started to deteriorate?" She looked at me for a second and said, "Probably when I impeached him."

I'm going to need to read this article again
