House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) responding to the president’s remarks this morning that the House bill will “undermine America’s security”:
QUESTION: Don’t you think the president is lying?PELOSI: Am I saying the president is lying?
QUESTION: Yes.
PELOSI: That’s the same question I got in 2001 when they asked me — when I said the intelligence on Iraq does not support the threat of — an imminent threat to our country that the administration is contending.
That’s what they said to me then. They said, “Are you saying the president is lying?” I said then and I say now, “I am stating a fact.”
The president is wrong and he knows it.
