Wednesday at the 2019 Center for American Progress Ideas Conference, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump’s departure from the infrastructure meeting after only three minutes “orchestrated,” adding that it was “almost to a poor baby point of view.”
Pelosi said, “Today was the day he was supposed to tell us how—what he would be willing to support and pay for for all of that. Instead, in an orchestrated, almost to a poor baby point of view, he came into the room and said that I said that he was engaged in a cover-up and he couldn’t possibly engage in a conversation on infrastructure as long as we are investigating him. Now we’ve been investigating him since we took — or the majority, so this is nothing new in that. And then he had a press conference in the Rose Garden with all of this sort of visuals that obviously were planned long before I said most currently that he was engaged in a cover-up, so it is really sad.”
She added, “We thought we had some level of agreement, but you never know with this president of the United States. So that is what happened this morning. It was very, very, very strange.”
