(AP)….House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promptly set a reporter, and by inference, all of Washington, straight on Thursday: “Don’t mess with me,” Pelosi said. Pelosi was responding to a reporter’s question about whether she “hates” President Donald Trump. She had announced articles of impeachment against him two hours before. The House speaker insisted she brought impeachment proceedings because Trump’s conduct with Ukraine left the House no choice. But as the California Democrat began exiting her weekly press conference, a reporter asked, “Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?” Pelosi stopped, jabbed a finger and fired back: “I don’t hate anybody.”  She added: “Don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”
