Nancy Pelosi, along with the Democrats she’s named as impeachment managers for a coming Senate trial, held a press conference this morning. We’ve already covered a lot of what went on, but there’s one more thing that deserves a mention.

The descent into the totally surreal is complete.

Yeah, just a little.

The assault is from delusional Democrats — Dave Mosley (@krtdave) January 15, 2020

Self-awareness isn’t a congressional Democrat priority, obviously.
