Is she OK? Nancy Pelosi's description of meeting with Trump raises all the eyebrows

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.

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
