Pelosi Pours on the Drama: Wears All Black on a 'Sad' Day

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived at the Capitol Wednesday morning dressed in all black. When asked about how she feels, she said "sad."

As she walked into the house chamber @SpeakerPelosi told me she “feels sad” #impeachment

Heading to the floor for the first time today, @SpeakerPelosi tells reporters only that she is “sad.”

Turns out, a number of her colleagues are also wearing black to mark the "solemn" occasion. Democrats have also been told not to clap or cheer if the articles pass later today.

Note: @SpeakerPelosi is wearing black. One of her colleagues told me several of the female Democrats did that intentionally to signal it is a somber day #impeachment

Great acting everyone.

Literally, a majority of Dems in 2018 ran on "Send me to congress so we can impeach the motherfucker" https://t.co/x9uQE8brbR

Interesting:

Nancy Pelosi calls impeachment a “solemn & prayerful” occasion

Cedric Richards didn’t seem to think so

Here he is watching golf during the impeachment hearing

This just goes to show how seriously they take overturning 63 million votes

No one is buying Pelosi’s “somber, solemn” performance.

It’s ALWAYS been about politics.

Don’t believe me? They have admitted it themselves! pic.twitter.com/mNME1RIuI0
