Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) described president Donald Trump of fiddling while people died of coronavirus.
Pelosi said, “First let me say how sad it is that even since the president’s signing of the bill, the number of deaths reported has doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 in our country. This is such a very, very sad time for us. We should be taking every precaution. The president, his denial at the beginning, was deadly. His delaying of getting equipment to where it — his continued delay in getting equipment to where it’s needed is deadly. Now the best thing to do would be to prevent more loss of life rather than open things up because we just don’t know. We have to have testing, testing, testing. That’s what we said from the start before we can evaluate what the nature of it is in some of these other regions as well. I don’t know what the purpose of that is. I don’t know what the scientists are saying to him. I don’t know what the scientists said to him, when did this president know about this, and what did he know? What did he know, and when did he know it? That’s for an after-action review. But as the president fiddles, people are dying.”
Host Jake Tapper asked, “Speaker Pelosi when you say the president’s denial was deadly, he obviously downplayed the risks of coronavirus for several weeks, and it wasn’t until I think about two weeks ago that he started acknowledging the gravity of the crisis. Are you saying his downplaying ultimately cost American lives?”

Trump acted quickly to ban entry to those traveling from China. Democrats called him racist.
Yet another accusation by the Dems' first chair violinist, led by the conductor in the shadows.
Pelosi was the one delaying the vote in Senate trying to get her liberal wish list in the bill while people were dying. She still wouldn't be persuaded until some of her pork got financed.
She disgust me. End of subject.
Democrats have done nothing to help during this crisis
Any rational person should be able to see through this veiled accusation. Pelosi has no choice but to discredit POTUS lest he score a "win" that will assure re-election. The problem is his handling of the pandemic has garnered him high ratings so the Democrats are thwarted yet again; Russia, impeachment, corona virus. What's next?
Nancy remains an embarrassment to the establishment.
Whats needed is someone like a Tip O'Neal mindset.
He was gruff, but he compromised across the isle.
Compromise - something that has been lacking for all too long.
So Nancy you evil woman. How does giving $11 billion from the relief bill to Africa help Americans during the Chinese Coronavirus outbreak?
Americans would like to know
Pelosi Should catch it & do the country a Favor !!!
I'm certain that the $25 million she insisted be given to the Kennedy Center will save untold lives.
That would have bought a lot of ventilators.
It helps her campaign
Her financiers are invested in Africa.
This is Facism
