Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday President Trump’s delay and denial in responding to the coronavirus pandemic has had “deadly” consequences for Americans.
“His denial at the beginning was deadly, his delaying of getting equipment … to where it is needed is deadly, and now the best thing would be to do is to prevent more loss of life, rather than open things up so that, because we just don’t know,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Asked about her thoughts on the administration considering relaxing federal guidelines for less-affected parts of the country, Pelosi said the U.S. “should be taking every precaution.”
“I don’t know what the purpose of that is,” she said, adding that she doesn’t know that the scientists are telling Trump.
