House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Trump and McConnell 'should not try to hide' behind suggestions that the impeachment trial distracted the government from coronavirus

Washington House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell"should not try to hide behind an excuse" in response to the suggestion from both the President and the Kentucky Republican that impeachment distracted the US government from the growing coronavirus crisis.

"I think that's an admission that perhaps the President and the majority leader cannot handle the job," Pelosi told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview."We have a life and death situation in our country and they should not try to hide behind an excuse for why they did not take action, but it does admit that they did not take action," Pelosi said, adding,"Right now we have to work together to get the job done.

This woman is full of shit

Pelosi and her colleagues have wasted millions of hard working taxpayers money on their witch hunt. They are disgusting parasites. All they care about is an election, and their own power. They don’t give a damn about the American people.

Not now madam

Who told American that Trump was a racist for banning flights and building walls.

Let's Do something URGENTLY to stop further Deaths in US rather than think of impeachment! WHAT A STUPID AND IMMATURE MENTALITY!

She and her colleagues are disgusting parasites. All they are concerned with is the election andtheir power. They could care less about the American people.

Get off the stage!!!

Donald Trump’s Pop-Culture Presidency Enters Its Thriller Phase (Opinion) by OwenGleiberman via variety (Aug. 11, 2017) That headline may have been premature.

Yes you did you and Shefti Sheff

I believe that Trump should be tried as a war criminal...

Because McConnell and Trump are old white men who cannot multitask.

Lock them all up!

Pelosi needs to go home where she belongs and stop trying to run things that she can’t even talk properly about. When a person has a speech like she does that means she is to old to be in any office.

MitchMadness Trump 'cheerleader' of lies, monster of false 'hope' of course monstrous Republicans allow him to create disasters, Moscow-Mitch still blaming corona on 'impeachment' this tragedy could have been toned down if Trump was removed Wishing health

Nobody cares what this crazy says.🙄🙄🙄

Thank God for Madame Speaker.

It didn’t distract the President from cutting funds from the CDC in Jan 2020!!

Well I think this is more telling who was being distracted in the middle of this crisis...

pgb623 If he can start a naval blockade during this response then he cannot show up for impeachment hearings and respond too.

The impeachment and Trump's subsequent acquittal (ridiculous, though it was) had nothing to do with Trump's lack of response to the Coronavirus outbreak. Trump is notorious for disregarding science & warnings of experts.

'Do not hide from facts' so says the drunk bitch

Distracted it seems like the impeachment didn't concern them in the least. All you have to do is go back and watch their reactions to the impeachment. Everyone knew especially them it wasn't going to pass the Senate.

She really is a toxic, energy sapping, leech of a politician.

Shut up

🤫

Dear sweet Nancy you did it i heard you i saw you it went very far into his own family

U can save-change the world with just your mic. Connecting people together that never would to start to tackle what we are facing. We know some of the problems. So WE CAN start fixing them RIGHT NOW. One person can change the world. Give them a voice. talk2millions

Millions without work, thousands are dying and they’re going to blame it on a distraction?

D QUEEN OF DOOM PELOSI CAN'T ACCEPT D TRUTH SHE THINKS Z'S D HEAD OF D GOV'T of AMERICA ALL DAT'S Z'S DOING WAS RIGHT THO HER PARTY & HER ACTIONS WAS LEADING U S A 2 DOOM ALL HER DECISIONS WER DISASTROUS 2 AMERICA SHE MUST B STOPPED Z'S A WALKING 'CALAMITY 5' CATASTROPHE VERY BAD

But you did distract and rob every American with the stupid impeachment

FAKE NEWS ALERT! No one, including the President of the United States, is saying this fake & needless impeachment done by immature democrats prevented the President from doing his duties...PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE HARDEST WORKING & MOST FOCUSED PRESIDENT WE HAVE HAD IN DECADES!

You should be standing in silence you old bitty with a hit list of one! When is someone going to stop her rein of terror? How many more times is she going to be using her position to destroy instead of doing her job for our country.

Is this breaking news? Not For China news network

Why is she being that up? Or was it the people of America?

An administration grabbing at straws! 😂

She takes accountability for nothing. It is truly disgusting. TERM LIMITS!!!

SPOILED MILK SHAKE MAMMA.

The Pelosy woman is the number one ugly Person in the world seems to be a mumy of the pharaon Egypt.

It did

She’s still breathing...🙈

Nan-Nan.... you're 80.... give your hatred a rest...

Madam Speaker, you don’t sell snake oil cause it cures anything! You sell it cause suckers ‘ll buy it! He’s got a reliable consumer base.

Speaker Pelosi should investigate China if she actually cares about American lives ! ! China screwed the entire 🌎 They new the virus was loose in Wuhan in 2019 but silenced anyone who tried to sound the alarm until the Virus spread globally

Omg women GET OVER IT. You lost!! SpeakerPelosi it’s going to be Trump for another 4 years!! realDonaldTrump

Delusional.

Nobody believes that BS. I should say, no intelligent people believe that bullshit. TalkAboutNasty coronavirus StopKillingAmericans

When Nancy Messonnier, scientist at the cdc, raised alarm over novel coronavirus, saying hospitals, schools and everyday people to begin preparing,” Trump was reportedly furious. her boss, CDC chief Robert Redfield, all but apologized in Congress

It didn’t distract them. It distracted you and your party. You were too busy trying to gum up the government for your own personal gain. The administration set up the pandemic panel and were meeting/planning.

Go back to Ca. no one wants to hear anything from you anymore

This woman should of resigned after that failed impeachment. For her to mention if for any reason is ridiculous. It shows what kind of person she is, not honorable and devious.

There is no hiding. She really has 'lost it.' So desperate for power.

Pelosi wasted millions on fake impeachment that could have been used to help fight the virus.

It is the truth... You and the rest of the democrats were in on the impeachment follies day in day out. How many democrats were paying attention on the virus. You even thored

Nothing to worry about. The cult will continue to validate him. The rest of America will vote. There is a clear record of what, where and with whom Trump was during the crisis and what he did or didn’t said. Hard to hide or refute. Failed Presidency!

Seems that everyone was downplaying the “threat” of coronavirus in January - most all of these “journalists” were rebuking Trump taking action

Some folks say we need a new President I think we need a new congress.

Still trying!!

ExpelPelosi

Impeachment caused him to call coronavirus a hoax? Yeah, right.

Nancy must be kidding.The democrat's impeachment trial of Trump distracted the government from everything! What a tremendous waste of politicians time & taxpayer money!

Wack a doo pelosi. Remove her from office.

Basically what trump and pence are admitting is that neither one of them can walk and chew gum at the same. Who knew, I knew!!!

cnn pushing this story by using her words. They are actually saying this though, such garbage

And yet she is trying to set up another wasteful investigation into the president's handling of the 'pandemic.' Personally I'm starting to think Congress is the issue here now. Both sides would rather fight each other instead of helping the American people. Time to clean house.

you mean when the Dems and media were only covering impeachment 24/7 while covid19 was destroying Asia?

I don't think I would have done any better had I not been impeached, OK?' -Donald Trump- So even the President realizes this is a bull shit excuse.

Yet somehow he managed to play golf &

Fake news enemy of the people

With Nancy it's all politics all the time.

Trump is still responsible for getting impeached. It was his own behaviour driving this from the beginning.

SpeakerPelosi The Impeachment trial is done. What does that have to do with the COVID19 outbreak? 🤦‍♂️ -- Have you been taking your medication recently?😂 -- realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr CNN

But thats the truth it did , Iran was their on American neck, COVID-19 was around the corner. But what Nancy and co did was all about impeachment in the midst of this choas ,

U democrats could not do anything else but impeach. U have wasted over 3 years and a lot of tax payer money that u should have to pay back.

Well it distracted the senate, congress and the White House. They knew impeachment wouldn’t go anywhere but they still proceeded because of their hate.

democrats don't care about this country only trying to regain power, they are vile and have done nothing for this country, Nov. will show them just how America feels about them
