Rand Paul Checkmates Nancy Pelosi, Ends Her SOTU Reign Of Terror
The swamp went into its typical frenzy over Nancy Pelosi’s surprising political stunt to rescind Trump’s invitation to the SOTU.
Truth be told, the SOTU is political theater and some hate it but none deny that it gives the President an unparalleled platform.
Trump wants that platform, if the shutdown continues, to make his case to the American people and for that reason, Pelosi denied him the chance.
Enter Rand Paul. From The Hill:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday suggested President Trump hold his State of the Union address in the Senate after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked the president to postpone the Jan. 29 address amid the partial government shutdown.
“I think that’s a real affront to the American people,” Paul said on “Fox & Friends,” referring to Pelosi’s request.
Pelosi made the surprise request on Wednesday, warning that staging the speech amid the partial shutdown — which has affected both the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service — creates security risks.
Paul said it would be the first time in U.S. history that the House denied the president a forum to speak and suggested Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should host Trump.
“What I would suggest is — Senator McConnell’s in charge of the Senate; let’s host it in the Senate,” Paul said. “This would be the first time in history that the House would deny the president the forum of speaking.”
“If she’s going to do that, let’s hold it in the Senate,” Paul concluded.
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said there have been “no real discussions” about alternative venues for the address after some Trump allies suggested that the address bemoved elsewhere.
House GOP leaders have blasted Pelosi over the call, suggesting that Trump should give the address no matter what.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said rescinding the invitation would be “unheard of.”
