VIDEO: House Minority Leader Pelosi confers w/ 5-year-old grandson on Syria

Honestly, you’d think this was something out of the Onion. Sadly, it’s not. Via NRO’s Andrew Johnson:

Nancy Pelosi told reporters today she consulted her five-year-old grandson over the weekend about whether or not to support intervention in Syria.

The minority leader explained that when she was home this past weekend, her five-year-old consigliere pressed her, β€œAre you β€˜yes’ war with Syria, β€˜no’ war with Syria?,” and said he opposed intervention. She took issue with his use of β€œwar” to describe what she considers an β€œaction,” but told him she generally agreed, but favored intervention because β€œthey’ve killed hundreds of children there.”

The youngster then asked her if the children were in the United States. Pelosi explained the victims were children abroad, but praised his β€œwisdom” in attending to American interests. She explained to reporters, however, that she found her grandson’s reasoning wanting because the use of chemical weapons β€œaffects our interests because, again, it was outside of the circle of civilized behavior.”

Here’s the video. Watch it. Seriously.

Response of the day comes from Twitter user @MuchLuck:
