What’s worse than regular Nancy Pelosi? Folksy Nancy Pelosi.
Describing today’s heated meeting between her, Chuck Schumer, and Donald Trump, here’s what Pelosi said:
"The press is all there! Chuck is really shouting out. I was trying to be the mom. I can’t explain it to you. It was so wild. It goes to show you: 'you get into a tickle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you," Pelosi to her members after, per aide in room.

Pelosi to colleagues: “It was so wild. It goes to show you: you get into a tickle contest with a skunk, you get tinkle all over you.”

That’s pretty much where we’re at, too.

I'm still a little confused about Nancy Pelosi talking about skunk tinkle.
Please help.

What? What the heck does that even mean?

Our heads hurt.
This was a hip reference when Nancy first heard it in 1858.

Same can’t be said for Pelosi:
Oddly enough, this is not @NancyPelosi's first reference to a "tickle contest with a skunk."https://t.co/c0dCFoOUfw pic.twitter.com/mmcPo041kB
