Pelosi drops the mic on Trump over his COVID-19 pandemic failures: ‘As the president fiddles, people are dying’


Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was unsparing in her criticism of Donald Trump and spoke bluntly of his failures to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

“First let me say how sad it is that ever since the president’s signing of the [stimulus] bill, the number of deaths reported has doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 in our country,” the California Democrat began. “This is such a very, very sad time for us. So 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.

[not fooled]

1. Say it, Nancy

It's blatantly apparent that red don is literally getting people killed.

Just the facts.

[BeckyDem]

2. Yes, factual. It may seem as though its political to his base which includes all the fat cat

business parasites that want their bail out. But if they ever get to the point where they realize they may lose a loved one, maybe, just maybe, they will stop supporting him.

[BComplex]

7. Those fat cats are just like trump. They don't have any loved ones, because they can't love.

They are as sick as he is. Look at how they treat their employees. They have no feelings except for their own egos.

[live love laugh]

9. 💯

[BeckyDem]

10. I don't disagree but I keep hoping for all our sakes that I am wrong.

But how in the world can a man like Koch complain about MONEY when he is old and could never spend what he has even if he tried!

[BComplex]

11. People that wealthy don't care about spending money, they just care about HAVING it. It's a score

card that says they're better than the next guy, and that's their ego being stroked.

[tblue37]

13. I think it is also a manifestation of the hoarding impulse. nt

[BComplex]

14. Never thought of it like that, but it kinda fits, doesn't it? n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. That brush is too broad.

[fwvinson]

25. When the hell is this virus going to smack his ass? Why hasn't it yet?

[NoMoreRepugs]

3. Madam Speaker has been MAGNIFICENT throughout

this ordeal - she is leading the National Response, her untiring work and devotion to the American people at the age of 80 is a lesson to us all - drop the ageism BULLSHIT and let true leaders LEAD.

[liberalla]

6. This!

[BComplex]

8. Thank you, NoMoreRepugs!!! Well said!

Ageism is rampant in this society.

[certainot]

4. she and dems need to name dr limbaaugh as a major contributor as he

spent that same period making it clear any republican who took it seriously was playing into the liberal politician and 'liberal' media trap - that is was all hyped to sell big govt socialist agenda.
trump's main adviser and golf partner was repeating that shit on 600 radio stations even up till the week ending march 13. then he callls in march 27 to his substitute since he was out with chemo treatment, to question if the medical and scientific experts around trump really were experts. rw shits on 1500 radio stations have been repeating that shit but are having to backtrack a bit and will end up blaming democrats, the chinese, immigrants, etc - everyone but trump and the republ;icans

even if that sack of shit and putin tool limbaugh survives democrats could win a helll of a lot more elections and even get trump out before elections if they stopped ignoring talk radio - truly the biggest politicall mistake in history.

if left alone those stations will all be used not only to excuse trump but to blame democrats for this. in every state they will blame local dem pols for tthe disasters in their states. they will not only echo that motherfucker in the white house when he goes after dem govs they will be managed by state GOP and think tanks to get even more specific on any dem target they want to pinpoint.

[BeckyDem]

5. Agreed. +1

12. Call this situation the "Republican Plague"

They gave us Trump. They protected Trump. They have defended and excused Trump.
They gave us Moscow Mitch "the grim reaper" McConnell.
They gave us Louie "you lied" Gohmert.
They gave us Brett Kavanaugh.
They gave us Samuel Alito.
They include Rush Limbaugh.
They include Sean Hannity.
They include FOX News.
They gave us governors who urge that grandparents be sacrificed to help the economy.
They gave us Dick Cheney, George W, his group of war mongers and the invasion of Iraq.
They gave us the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
They have given us world class liars.
They have given us the dumbest most self serving politicians in congress.
They started the attack on worker's unions beginning with an actor president named Reagan.
Heck, they gave our ancestors President Hoover who helped facilitate the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The Republicans are a plague!

20. And, Senate Republicans refusing to sign the peace treaty, in 1919...

the "Treaty of Versailles" AND refusing to join the League of Nations, or send financial help to war torn Europe, planted the seeds of

Hitler's rise to power in Germany, and eventually World War ll and the millions of dead from that conflict.

Thanks Republicans!

Republican Plague: VOTE it away in 2020!

33. Woah! Really? Didn't know that part of history.

That's interesting. Thanks.

[FailureToCommunicate]

34. I had not either. It was brought up by NPR historian Jack Beaty on a 1918 Flu...

history retrospective, and it blew me away. I want to find out more about that slice of history.

Welcome to DU, by the way.

15. Nice. And SO GLAD we got $$25M for the Kennedy Center!!

18. Nancy should have said: "As the president tweets, people are dying."

Our modern-day Nero couldn't play the fiddle to save his worthless life; Trump's all (tiny) thumbs, perfect for his little twitter keyboard.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Can't Play Golf Either

His version of fiddling, but he's a hack on the golf course. I don't care what his fake handicap card says. I've seen him swing & I've seen him putt. He's rotten at the game.

[47of74]

32. Was it Stormy who said his swings and putts in the bedroom...

...left a lot to be desired?

Asking for a friend

[empedocles]

26. However, as 'the President fiddles . . . has great 'fall of Rome' history resonance

I'm sure the Speaker was aware of that

[pazzyanne]

21. Love this woman more every day!

Praying for her continued health and leadership, as well as for our wonderful congressional Democrats who are fighting on both front lines in this war.

[cstanleytech]

22. Its actually his willful delay not just delay because he is to lazy its because he wants to punish

anyone that did not and does not support him.

[Blue Owl]

23. Hammer that shitbag

No mercy.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. Patient Nero.

[Beartracks]

27. His claim to success is that he blocked travel from China early on, but...

... that's like saying the Titanic saved everyone because it missed the first iceberg.

Without competent and continual leadership, that first action might as well not have been taken.

[NBachers]

28. Nancy, a Democrat, actually cares about the sick and dead people, and their families, and the USA.

What a refreshing change from the lizard-brained, necro-beast republicans.

May their souls be rent and torn by howling banshees from the second of their demise, cursed to an eternity of the screams and agony of the wailing dead.

[Baked Potato]

31. Bravo! For the eloquence!
