Meow! The kitties are turning on each other! Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dug her talons into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, clearly angry that he voted alongside Republicans on a bill to avoid government shutdown.
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi took her jab during a press conference in San Francisco. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”
Personally, I find that funny because I think Pelosi would “over herself away” for a shot of vodka.
At the time, Pelosi urged Senate Democrats to go against Schumer and vote against the bill, preaching that they were being sold a “false choice.”

“I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill,” she claimed. “America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way.”
However, Schumer argued that the bill may be a “terrible option” but that a government shutdown would be even worse.
“The Republican bill is a terrible option,” he stated on Thursday. “It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
