A battle over a partial federal shutdown veered into a debate about San Franciscos street-cleaning efforts Sunday when an offhand jab by President Donald Trump on Twitter sparked an outpouring of online mockery.
In a flurry of early-morning Twitter posts on Sunday, Trump attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., over the shutdown involving his demand for $5.7 billion to fund a border wall with Mexico.
Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat, reads one post by the president. She is so petrified of the lefties in her party that she has lost control
And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!

Meanwhile, Pelosi, responding on Twitter to Trumps tweet, stuck to the shutdown dispute and did not address the presidents comments regarding San Francisco.
@realDonaldTrump, 800,000 Americans are going without pay. Re-open the government, let workers get their paychecks and then we can discuss how we can come together to protect the border, Pelosi wrote.

There are plenty of comments that question why Trump made the comment about San Francisco.
