Troll level: Master.
Check out the bananer the National Republican Congressional Committee has hanging outside of their offices in D.C. ahead of the Democratic leadership race in the House of Representatives:

And on Twitter, the @NRCC account is targeting specific Dems with the #StandWithNancy hashtag:
.@NRCC hangs banner to support @NancyPelosi for Minority Leader ensuring House Dems irrelevance! #StandWithNancy https://t.co/wFhnXoD8h9
— NRCC (@NRCC) November 29, 2016
.@TeamPelosi We #StandWithNancy because no one has done more to ensure that @HouseDemocrats remain in the minority. https://t.co/wFhnXoD8h9
— NRCC (@NRCC) November 29, 2016
Classic.
Pelosi answered the NRCC with a .Gif and called the banner a distraction:
Don't look now, but @NRCC will do anything to distract from the chaotic Trump transition that they helped create. #StandWithNancy pic.twitter.com/0G1AVH6yW5

As for Pelosi, she’s reportedly “on the warpath” over a leadership challenge from Rep. Tim Ryan:
Nancy Pelosi on the warpath: “[Tim Ryan] didn’t even carry his district for Hillary Clinton,” she said with a laugh. https://t.co/F0kjpSO0Lt

Nancy Pelosi torches Dem Rep. Tim Ryan for suggesting she's all about consolidating her power. "Pathetic." https://t.co/VbBWyjQ7tJ
