Pelosi: Trump blocking House testimony is 'beneath the dignity' of presidency

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday slammed President Trump for saying that he won't allow Anthony Fauci to testify before the House because he thinks the lower chamber is "a bunch of Trump haters," saying that it is "beneath the dignity of the office that he holds."

A House Appropriations subcommittee had sought Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to testify at a Wednesday hearing, but the request was denied by the White House.

"To say that the Congress, the House, is a bunch of haters is so beneath the dignity of the office that he holds and so distant from the seriousness he should bring to a matter of life and death of so many people in our country," Pelosi said during an interview with MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

But Pelosi indicated that the House wouldn't necessarily try to issue a subpoena to obtain Fauci's testimony.

Why not subpoena? Let Trump howl like the big baby he is.

1. Dignity?

Trump? Dignity? Trump?

Ruthless confidence men would consider words like that to be about weakness if it gets in the way of manipulation, control and dirty business.

2. no point in a subpoena. they have no power anymore.

by the time it is litigated by the courts the election will long since be over, and it will be a moot point.

3. She addressed this

The issue of subpoenas to WH officials is already in front of SCOTUS. No point in doing another one till it's decided.

6. Attention should be on

addressing and trying to mitigate this disease, so I agree with Pelosi as far as a subpoena. Add it to the charges Schiff is working on.

7. Censure him.

Hold him in contempt of Congress and failure to abide by the Constitution.

Take the temperature of the Senate.

Put them on the record.
