Excerpts from article:
...Democratic strategist Christine Pelosi - daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., weighed in on her mother's ongoing feud with President Trump after Nancy Pelosi demonstratively ripped up her copy of the president's speech at the conclusion of his State of the Union address Tuesday.
..."In watching that, her reaction to that speech, I thought to myself, that's an 'Italian grandma move,'" Pelosi continued. "I saw my grandmother do that years ago in her kitchen when there was a guest at my grandfather's house ... who was rude. She picked up the person's plate without comment, we heard a crashing sound. She threw the plate away, sat down and didn't say another word."
...Pelosi's comments came just hours after her mother continued to rail against Trump's State of the Union address Thursday morning, suggesting that he appeared to be "Sedated" in the latest tit-for-tat between the two political titans.
...Earlier Thursday, Trump held up a copy of USA Today that bore a blaring "Acquitted" headline at the National Prayer Breakfast mere feet from Pelosi.
...MacCallum also pressed Pelosi on her mother's earlier statement that impeaching Trump would risk furthering the divide in the country, pointing to the latest Gallup poll which reported the highest approval ratings for the president since he was elected in 2016.
..."It's more heavily weighted for Republicans now," Pelosi responded, and [for] the people that decided to go through with impeachment, it's not about the polls, it's about the truth, this is about finding the truth and this is about making sure that we say Article II constrains the president.
