Trump bashed Nancy Pelosi for an impeachment quote. It actually came from a Fox News reporter.

President Trump lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a tweet early on Tuesday morning, misquoting her while characterizing the ongoing impeachment inquiry as a ploy to skirt around the 2020 election because “she thinks I will win.”

Trump weighed in on whether voters should decide his fate rather than Congress after Pelosi addressed that same argument against impeachment — a favorite among Republican lawmakers — in a statement earlier Monday.

Stressing the importance of the impeachment hearings, Pelosi said in a “Dear Colleague” memo, “The weak response to these hearings has been, ‘Let the election decide.’ That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.”

Tweeting after midnight Tuesday, Trump attributed a quote about the 2020 election to the House speaker — but it appears the quote actually came from a Fox News reporter in a broadcast an hour earlier

1. Anyone who knows us knows she just wouldn't say that.

I checked because I check all quotes, and also context might add something, but it merely confirmed what running this past my "fund of knowledge" for initial evaluation said. Of course. They lie like I breathe.

2. Exactly

I knew that reported quote was wrong, and I figured she said something like above.
