San Fran NanPelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...claimed President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
wasn’t really acquitted in the impeachment trial during an interview that aired this week with CNN’s Ace newshound Christiane Amanpour.
"What about, though, the fact that the president seems liberated, and this is about democratic politics so I’m not asking you to criticize here, but he was acquitted, his poll ratings are high ..." Amanpour said.
"He was not ... there was no ..." Pelosi interrupted.
"You can’t have an acquittal unless you have a trial, and you can’t have a trial unless you have witnesses and documents. So he can say he’s acquitted, and the headlines can say ’acquitted,’ but he’s impeached forever, branded with that, and not vindicated," Pelosi continued.
"And even the senators were saying, ’yes, it wasn’t right,’ but they didn’t have the courage to act upon that."
Democrats have made this claim before. Earlier this month, the House managers in the impeachment trial claimed that Trump was not truly acquitted, saying that Trump didn’t get a "fair trial."
