Pelosi: I 'Prayed' After First Meeting With Trump

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she "prayed" for President Donald Trump following their first meeting, The Hill reported Sunday.

Pelosi described the meeting to MSNBC's Joy Reid, joking, "Don't tell anybody I told you this."

Pelosi said the exchange took place in the East Wing of the White House where he hosted congressional lawmakers because "he wanted to have a little hospitality, pigs in blankets, kosher meatballs. Bless him for his hospitality."

"So, we go to the first meeting with the president. This is historic. House and Senate Democratic and Republican leadership," Pelosi said, then explained the "first words out of his mouth: 'You know I won the popular vote.'"

Pelosi continued, saying, "Now, I'm a very courteous person… but I thought, well he seems a little casual bout this so I'll be a little casual, too."

"So, I said, 'Mr. President, that isn't true and there's no evidence, facts or data to support what you're saying,'" she said, adding Trump just continued the thought.

"Oh yeah, 3 to 5 million people voted illegally, and I'm not even counting California," Trump said, according to Pelosi.

The California Democrat then asked the crowd, "Why so insecure?"

"I prayed for him," she said, "but more importantly, I prayed for the United States of America."
