SAN FRANCISCO, California (World News Bureau) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (RTRD-CA) on Sunday angrily criticized President Trump's attack on her "good friend" Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"I know for a fact that Bash...ah, President al-Assad hates all harsh chemicals and artificial dyes - he would never have weapons containing them, let alone use them on anyone. Trump's just trying to take attention off his own issues and it's not fair," Pelosi told reporters in San Francisco on Sunday.
Sources say Pelosi became very close with al-Assad during an April 2007 meeting in Damascus (below).
