The Senate Democrats made demands for the impeachment trial of President Trump that Mitch McConnell refused to consider, all while Nancy Pelosi was stalling the articles of impeachment in the House. At that point, either the House Speaker or Senate Majority Leader would have to back down, and the one who blinked was Nancy Pelosi:
Cocaine Mitch for the WIN! Nancy Pelosi caves, will bring resolution to House floor to deliver articles to the Senate next week https://t.co/NVJiaGSyBV

That’s pretty much what Laurence Tribe said, and it isn’t surprising to see CNN taking the same approach as a lefty ally of the Democrats.
This is what's known as gaslighting. https://t.co/JYct9c7ydn

Actually, it seems to show the limits of her power – she has delayed three weeks and as far as I can tell did not gain any concessions. Now her own party is getting annoyed and by delaying, she may have caused interference with her own parties early primaries https://t.co/txL00maotn

She's so powerful that #CocaineMitch had to give her everything she wanted in the Senate impeachment hearing.

But even CNN knows that headline is a ridiculous attempt to salvage Pelosi’s failed stunt:

It sounds like the Dems and the media are having trouble letting go.
