Nancy Pelosi swipes at Trump, accusing him of crowning himself as ‘king’

Dem Rep Nancy Pelosi posted a speech she gave claiming that America is in a crisis of conscience:

“Today we are again witnessing actions meant to chill the First Amendment’s most fundamental freedoms. Let us be clear: attacks on journalism are attacks on the American people’s right to know. And attempts to undermine a free press are attempts to undermine the Constitution and democracy itself.

That is why tonight is not only a celebration, but is a reminder—a solemn reminder—that we must protect and defend the freedom, and we must insist on the truth. Because America is in a crisis of conscience. We have a President who has crowned himself king, a Congress which has abolished itself, and a Supreme Court that has gone rogue.

Our First Amendment, a free and independent press—the Fourth Estate—is essential to the survival of our Republic.”
