It’s possible that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was off her meds on Wednesday when she claimed in the same sentence that it’s “too late” for us to stop the coronavirus and then complained about “scare tactics.”
“When asked about the President asking for $2.5 billion in supplemental budget request to combat the virus Pelosi said, “This is shameful, he puts forth a proposal now that is meager, anemic in terms of addressing this. Ebola, we did $5 billion. And now they’re trying to take the Ebola money and spend it here.”
What he’s doing is late, too late, anemic. Hopefully, we can make up for the loss of time but we have to have professionals in place, resources that are adequate and not use scare tactics about people coming back to our country,” she added.
Pelosi complains about scare tactics over people not being allowed to come across the border but has no problem saying “it’s too late.”
Pelosi said that the President doesn’t “knows what he’s talking about. Once again.” When she was asked about the President’s comments earlier in the day.
“Hopefully we can make up for the loss of time…and not be using scare tactics about people coming back to our country.”

On his way back from India the President defended his administration, “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world. It was opposed by the Dems, “too soon”, but turned out to be the correct decision. No matter how well we do, however, the Democrats talking point is that we are doing badly,” the president wrote. “If the virus disappeared tomorrow, they would say we did a really poor, and even incompetent, job. Not fair, but it is what it is. So far, by the way, we have not had one death. Let’s keep it that way!”
Earlier Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that Americans could see “significant disruption” if the virus continues to spread in the U.S.
Leave it to Pelosi to slam the President for not doing enough, but still wants are borders wide open.
