After the Senate voted to acquit former President Trump at the conclusion of a trial that started earlier this week (that featured plenty of flip-flopping on the topic of witnesses), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed up to a House managers’ press conference and aired some grievances:

Pelosi says she's crashed the House managers' press conference because of McConnell's remarks. She's livid because he was responsible for not starting the Senate trial while Trump was in office.
"It was not the REASON he voted the way he did," she says. "It was the EXCUSE."

Pelosi seems so angry that maybe she’ll go back to the House and initiate a third impeachment hearing!
I wish she would tell us how she really feels… 0-2 #ImpeachmentTrial https://t.co/508qjUYrHN
