President Donald Trump tried to break out a new nickname for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Instead, critics are using it on him.
Trump has repeatedly and without evidence accused House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who is leading the impeachment inquiry, of treason , a federal crime that carries a potential death sentence .
Now, Trump is claiming the speaker is every bit as guilty, accusing her of high crimes and treason. He also called her nervous Nancy, a nickname he attempted briefly in June but quickly abandoned.
He tweeted:
Nancy Pelosi knew of all of the many Shifty Adam Schiff lies and massive frauds perpetrated upon Congress and the American people, in the form of a fraudulent speech knowingly delivered as a ruthless con, and the illegal meetings with a highly partisan Whistleblower & lawyer...

....This makes Nervous Nancy every bit as guilty as Liddle Adam Schiff for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and even Treason. I guess that means that they, along with all of those that evilly Colluded with them, must all be immediately Impeached!

Trump was slammed over the baseless accusations, with critics accusing him of trying to distract from the ongoing impeachment probe involving his demand that the Ukrainian president investigate 2020 rival Joe Biden .
And many pointed out that someone appears to be getting nervous but its not Pelosi:
Honestly, Im just laughing at the pathetic Nervous Nancy. Nancy Pelosi has nerves of steel. Ive never even seen her nervous.

Dear @realDonaldTrump : As a member of @SpeakerPelosi 's leadership team, the only time I saw her nervous was ... actually I've never seen her nervous. Speaker Pelosi has nerves of steel, wrapped around tungsten, coated in titanium.

President Pelosi is certainly not nervous. Youre projecting.

Because Adam Schiff paraphrased the Trump-Zelensky call and because the whistleblower contacted House Intel staff in accordance with rules [refers to notes] Pelosi did treason. pic.twitter.com/Dzdzc0qxFv

Donald Trump just called for Nancy Pelosi to be impeached. This guy needs medical attention.

There's only one Nervous and "negative Nancy" here.. And it's not Nancy.

Impeachment must be feeling more and more real..#ImpeachTheMF #TrumpResign #Trump #SundayThoughts
Deranged Donny is getting very nervous about his legacy.
— Old Man (@IAAOFM) October 7, 2019
Give up - you already destroyed it yourself.
Yet again, whatever hes telling you here, the center of it all is an accusation by a whistle-blower that hes asked Ukraine - a country desperate for aid - to investigate as a favor his political opponent. This has been CONFIRMED by Trump himself who released the transcript.

When you find out about the fraudulent speeches youve made, youre going to be really mad at you
— Devin Nunes cow (@DevinCow) October 7, 2019
You got the double dip going on Schiff in these tweets, but just "Nervous Nancy" for Pelosi?
— Goodbye_G0P (@HoosierCornGuy) October 7, 2019
pffft. Weak sauce!
Are ya scared of her?
These are words from Trump's most recent tweet used to describe & attack other people.
— Scott Hechinger (@ScottHech) October 7, 2019
Shifty
Lies
Massive frauds
Fraudulent speech
Ruthless con
Illegal meetings
Highly partisan
Nervous
Guilty
Evilly
High Crimes
Misdemeanors
Treason
Impeached
The projection is stunning.
Republicans spin these authoritarian outbursts as (very unfunny) jokes but President Trump obviously believes them and that is super dangerous because he is the President of the United States.

Your arrogance is exceeded only by your astounding ignorance. And you seem very, very nervous. Many people are saying it.
— NotOnMyWatch (@9_BulletPoints) October 7, 2019
It's not a crime to investigate you (yet).
— D Villella (@dvillella) October 7, 2019
She doesn't seem at all nervous.
You, however, have been melting down on Twitter for days.#ImpeachTrumpPenceBarrPompeo pic.twitter.com/zPSBEIUDm7
doesn't seem nervous to me, but YOU sure do!#ImpeachmentIsComing #ImpeachTrump
