Speaker Pelosi's press conference begins, fashionably late.
"I just got back from the Prayer Breakfast," she explains, before pivoting to the #SOTU "reality show," which she said bore no semblance to reality.

Pelosi slammed Trump for his claims on protecting pre-existing conditions, when his admin is fighting against ACA (aka, Obamacare) in court right now.
"That misrepresentation is appalling and so completely untrue."
"That misrepresentation is appalling and so completely untrue."
Pelosi: "Appalling also was when he was trying to discredit" the achievements of the Obama economy.

@CourthouseNews Asked how she and Trump could work together on infrastructure given their strained relationship, Pelosi replies they've had a strained relationship with each other for awhile, and they've managed to keep the government open.
@CourthouseNews Asked about the White House's threats of retaliation for impeachment, Pelosi begins with Trump's inappropriate statements generally: "The whole State of the Union was beneath the dignity of the White House."
She cites the "good people on both sides" remark as another example.

@CourthouseNews Pelosi on Trump's swipes at Romney and her on the subject of religion at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't think the President understands about prayer or people who pray."
"I think that what he said about Senator Romney was particularly without class."

@CourthouseNews Pelosi on tearing up Trump's speech: "I tore up a manifesto of mistruths."
@CourthouseNews "Is it okay to say 'Four more years!' in the House of Representatives?" Pelosi asks.
@CourthouseNews Asked whether she should have invited Trump to give the SOTU speech, Pelosi replies: "Next year, we will have a new president of the United States."
@CourthouseNews She calls it more of a "State of Mind" than a "State of the Union."
