Nancy Pelosi is learning some new tricks.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tweeted out a video of Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano slamming President Trump's decision to host next year's Group of 7 (G-7) Summit at his Trump National Doral resort in Florida.

"The Constitution is clear: the President cannot accept gifts or payments from foreign governments. No one is above the law," Pelosi wrote in her tweet.

The accompanying Fox News video segment in her tweet featured Napolitano, who called Trump's move a violation of the Emoluments Clause.

"The purpose of the Emoluments Clause is to keep the President of the United States of America from profiting off of foreign money ... not in the campaign, but in some event or entity that he controls or is running," Napolitano told Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

She also knows how to counter them and how to use them.

I think it's called a "own goal." Pelosi is getting a lot of them lately. Go Nancy!
