Speaker of the House and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has warned Rep. Jerry Nadler to stop his impeachment nonsense.

The warning to the head of the House Judiciary came in a closed door meeting and Rep. Pelosi made her stance known, Politico reported.

“Pelosi criticized the panel’s handling of impeachment in harsh terms, complaining committee aides have advanced the push for ousting President Donald Trump far beyond where the House Democratic Caucus stands.

“Democrats simply don’t have the votes on the floor to impeach Trump, Pelosi said,” Politico said in its report of the meeting.

“And you can feel free to leak this,” she said to those in the room, but her office has declined to comment on the meeting.

“It was the latest sign of the widening schism between Pelosi and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, two longtime allies who are increasingly in conflict over where to guide the party at one of its most critical moments,” Politico said.

“Both Pelosi and Nadler, who have served in the House together for more than 25 years, insist their relationship remains strong.

“But their rift over impeachment is getting harder and harder to paper over amid Democrats’ flailing messaging on the topic and a growing divide in the caucus.

“Whether the two veteran lawmakers can get on the same page will determine whether the party avoids a rupture that threatens its chances of holding on to the House majority and beating Trump in 2020,” it said.

“I think the speaker wants to be careful of all the different members of the caucus,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal said.

“She doesn’t always want to use the word ‘impeachment’ but believe me, she signed off on every piece of what has been put forward,” she said.

It is not the first time that Speaker Rep. Pelosi has been hesitant to use the word impeachment or to caution her members against impeachment.

I March the Speaker went into a fierce battle with The Squad members New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib over the matter.

“Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan.

“I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” the Speaker said. “He’s just not worth it.”

“I happen to disagree with that take, but you know, she’s the speaker…I think we’ll see,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said.

“That doesn’t mean we’re voting on it,” Tlaib said. “It means we’re beginning the process to look at some of these alleged claims of impeachable offenses.”

“What you all should know is Speaker Pelosi always tells us new members, ‘represent your district.’ And that’s what I’ve been doing,” she said.

“Speaker Pelosi has never told me to stop or do anything differently—ever. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s very true,” she said.
