KENNEDY JUST FROZE NANCY PELOSI WITH 17 WORDS – CAPITOL HILL HASN’T THAWED YETRayburn corridor. Nancy Pelosi, surrounded by her usual praetorian guard of aides, spotted Senator John Kennedy walking alone.She couldn’t resist.“Move aside, senile fool,” she hissed, loud enough for three reporters to hear. “Some of us still have a country to run.”Kennedy stopped.Turned.Smiled the way a cottonmouth smiles right before the strike.He leaned in, voice soft as a confession:“Ma’am, I may be old,but at least I still remember what integrity looks like… and it sure ain’t staring back at me right now.”Then he tipped an imaginary hat and kept walking.Pelosi’s face cycled through every shade of red in the Pantone book.Her security detail froze mid-step.One aide actually dropped her phone—screen cracked on Pelosi’s own heel.The 17-word dagger hit X at 2:51 p.m.By 3:15 p.m.: 94 million views, #IntegrityCheck trending #1 worldwide.Trump quote-tweeted with crying-laughing emojis: “John just ended her—AGAIN!”AOC tried damage control: “Elder abuse!”Kennedy’s reply, posted from a flip phone:“Sugar, the only thing abused today was the truth.”Pelosi’s office called it “disrespect to the institution.”Kennedy’s office sent a single Post-it to the press:“Respect is earned. Memory is optional.”The corridor is still ice-cold.And Nancy hasn’t spoken above a whisper since.
