Associated Press: Pelosi says Trump needs thicker skin

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is mocking President Donald Trump's complaints about unfair treatment by the news media.

Pelosi herself has long been a target of Republican criticism. She scoffed at Trump's claim that he's been treated "more unfairly" than any politician in history, saying Thursday, "Get some thick skin, OK?"

Pelosi also ridiculed Trump's complaint about a "witch hunt" following the naming of a special counsel to investigate possible Trump campaign ties to Russia.

She asked, "How did he spell witch hunt?" a reference to Trump's frequent misspellings on Twitter. He misspelled the word "counsel" on Thursday.

Pelosi calls the White House unruly and undisciplined and says it "needs adult supervision."
