Speaking during an interview with MSNBC Monday afternoon, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on an unhinged rant about President Trump and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill.
"We take an oath to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic and sadly the domestic enemies to our voting system aren't honoring our constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of the United States," Pelosi said, referring to President Trump and Republican lawmakers. "Enemies of the state."
Pelosi's remarks came after United States Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy debunked Democrat conspiracy theories that President Trump is getting rid of mail boxes in order to slow down the submission of mail-in ballots. DeJoy did so during a House Oversight hearing on Capitol Hill Monday.

.@RepJamesComer: Obama-Biden removed 12K blue postal boxes. Did Democrats call for the PMG to resign then?

Russian Collusion didn't pan out. The impeachment sham failed. The new flavor of the day - a presidential sabotage of the @USPS - is just the latest baseless conspiracy. pic.twitter.com/FmslUrDgMX
Was it the Postal Service’s fault:

-That it took New York six weeks to count votes in their Democratic primary? No.
That New Jersey was still counting ballots four weeks after their primary? No.
That it took the Democrats a month to figure out who won the Iowa Caucuses? No. pic.twitter.com/aqZwz8mAZ9
