“Impeachment is a sad day for America, and yesterday was one,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters gathered at her press conference on Thursday.
Of course video of her laughing, smiling and handing out the multiple “golden” pens she used to sign the articles of impeachment seem to make Wednesday a less solemn event.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted his thoughts on Pelosi’s actions on Thursday, “Yesterday, the Speaker celebrated impeachment with souvenir pens, bearing her own golden signature, brought in on silver platters.
Yesterday, the Speaker celebrated impeachment with souvenir pens, bearing her own golden signature, brought in on silver platters. The House’s partisan process distilled into one last perfect visual. Not solemn or serious. A transparently political exercise from beginning to end. pic.twitter.com/AshajRLH2F
