It looked like a live parody of Grant Wood’s iconic “American Gothic”; alas, it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer delivering their much-maligned rebuttal to President Trump’s oval office address on the border crisis.
In the age of social media, the substance of what people say is often eclipsed by optics, and on that front, President Trump won Tuesday night without so much as plucking an eyelash. With Schumer’s hunched body hulking beside Nancy Pelosi’s uncomfortable stiffness, the odd-pairing echoed that of an illustration straight from the pages of Alvin Schwartz’s “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.”
