During her MSNBC interview, Pelosi stated that pointing out Democrats’ focus on impeachment signifies that Republicans can’t do their jobs. Furthermore, the Speaker alleged that President Trump “didn’t want to face the reality” of coronavirus.
Shortly prior, Pelosi also urged Trump, Leader McConnell, and other Republicans not to fault impeachment for delayed federal action against coronavirus.
The Flip Side
During Pelosi’s time on-air, she cited coronavirus as “self-evident” and something that “most people” knew about. Yet, despite these claims, Democrats did not take any actions. Towards the beginning of 2020, the Democrat Party focused all their energies on an unsuccessful, deeply partisan impeachment. Pelosi’s assertions could easily raise questions; if COVID-19 was truly so “self-evident”, why didn’t Democrats act accordingly?
At this point, playing the blame game and pointing fingers is not helpful. Coronavirus is here. Taking suitable and balanced actions to fight the virus without decimating the economy is deeply imperative.
