The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which has been extensively covered by Fox News. Here's a summary of some of the key events and quotes:
The feud begins
In January 2019, Trump and Pelosi engaged in a public spat over the government shutdown, which was triggered by a dispute over funding for a border wall. Trump refused to sign a spending bill unless it included $5.7 billion for the wall, while Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) opposed the wall and refused to budge.
"Shut down the government"
In a January 2019 press conference, Trump said, "I'm not going to blame you for the shutdown, Nancy. I'm going to blame the Democrats." Pelosi responded, "The president is responsible for the shutdown, and he's responsible for ending it."
"Cryin' Chuck" and "Nancy"
Trump began referring to Pelosi and Schumer as "Cryin' Chuck" and "Nancy" in tweets and public statements, which Pelosi and Schumer saw as an attempt to belittle and demean them.
"The Squad"
In July 2019, Trump tweeted about a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), saying they should "go back" to their countries of origin. Pelosi initially refused to condemn Trump's comments, but later did so, saying they were "racist" and "un-American."
"The Squad" responds
