Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Donald Trump opened himself up to more scrutiny and future investigations when he singled out former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for financial improprieties during his State of the Union address.According to the hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” inquiries into deal-making by lawmakers is not a subject the president should be touching upon considering his well-documented billion dollar cash grab since he was re-elected.According to co-host Joe Scarborough, the president’s comments may come back to haunt him.With the president calling for a ban on congressional insider trading, he singled out Pelosi in the room, asking where she was and if she was standing up and applauding.That led Scarborough to exclaim, “It's just like the hypocrisy is crazy, just crazy,” with co-host Mika Brzezinski adding, “Really interesting State of the Union tonight.” “Why would you even bring that up if you know that you're pocketing like close to $2 billion since you've been president?” Scarborough continued. “Well, he brought a lot of things up that seemed like projection,” Brzezinski interjected. “Seemed self-defeating to me. And you should just focus on getting legislation done that would build out your legacy for good,” Scarborough added. - YouTube youtu.be
