Pirro Gives Non-Apology After Saying That Pelosi Was ‘Partying’ In Puerto Rico

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro admitted that she spoke untruthfully during her Saturday interview with President Donald Trump when she said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was “partying” in Puerto Rico while Trump was hard at work in the White House.

“Look, you were in the White House during the Christmas holidays and over New Year’s, and you’ve been there ever since,” Pirro said to Trump. “Nancy Pelosi’s in Hawaii over the holidays, now she’s in Puerto Rico with a bunch of Democrats and lobbyists, you know, enjoying the sun and partying down there.”

Pirro tweeted a non-apology later that day, placing the blame on “numerous reports.” She does not specify which reports led her astray.

During my exclusive interview with Pres Trump I said Speaker Pelosi was in Puerto Rico with a bunch of her Democrat colleagues. I based that on numerous reports that turned out to be wrong. The Speaker’s office says she has been in DC all weekend and I take them at their word.
