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

During her remarks at the Washington Press Club Foundation's annual congressional dinner, Pelosi claimed that the nation "is in a crisis of conscience."

She said the country's president "has crowned himself king," the nation's Congress has "abolished itself" and the U.S. Supreme Court "has gone rogue."
