Mr. Trump is skipping an annual bipartisan luncheon with House and Senate lawmakers celebrating the ties that bind the U.S. and Ireland, a White House spokesman said.

Trump blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pointing to the impeachment inquiry launched by the Democrat-led House last year.

"Since the speaker has chosen to tear this nation apart with her actions and her rhetoric, the president will not participate in moments where she so often chooses to drive discord and disunity," spokesman Judd Deere said in an emailed statement.

The House speaker traditionally hosts the luncheon.

Mr. Trump instead will celebrate with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at the White House on Thursday — five days before St. Patrick's Day. Deere said the relationship between the U.S. and Ireland "has never been stronger."

Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi, said congressional support for the U.S.-Ireland relationship is at a high.

"One would think that the White House could set petty, partisan politics aside for this historic occasion," Hammill said in an email.

I'd advise the Irish PM to skip that luncheon for his own health.

Bigly.

Tremendous.

Huge.

The best.

And the mentality to go along with it.

Half the attendees will be glad that they won’t have to listen to him, and the other half will be glad that they won’t have to kiss his ass.

He's following CDC's recommendation to stay away from large groups in close quarters with limited ventilation. I smell panic at 1600, even though it's a hoax and all.

Fixed that up a bit for you...

He's smart not to go.

He never said it was a hoax.
He did use the word, but it was aimed at Democrats.

What he is doing is prudent.

By all means, then, press the report button.

Pro-tip: just because you don't agree with the OP, does not necessarily make it a "violation of forum guidelines" no matter how badly you really Really REALLY want it to be, Chuck.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Someone doesn't know the guidelines...

They probably weren't serving McD's at the luncheon bro.

"Lying" Ted Cruz and "Pocahontas" think that about Trump.

He never said it was a hoax.

Picking pepper out of fly shit doesn't help your case.

The OP is in violation of forum guidelines...

If anyone knows how to break the TOS...
