Pelosi On Trump's COVID-19 Response: 'As The President Fiddles, People Are Dying' | MSNBC

  1. The media needs to stop entertaining this political bullsh*t and focus on encouraging the nation instead

    1. Listen. I know the pandemic is stressful but Trump isn’t acting fast enough or well for the virus. Removing him would literally save lives. Politics decide everything.

    2. @DV 8 If you were American, you would know that’s non existent or the People don’t make enough to do that.

  2. Both democrats and Republican citizens need to join together and fight this virus politics is what destroying our nation

    1. WafflingWallet2020 but so much less of a problem than a president with left policies. We went with less problems.

    2. @Me ,Myself and I Nobody Else Congrats on being a shining example of what happens when you drop out of school. You have got to be the most illiterate person I’ve come across on the internet. “Thier” is spelled their, “contrdictong” is contradicting, “peolosi” is Pelosi, “tatics” is tactics, “communisum” is communism. Oh and I can’t forget “but uneducated and lack of understandings
      the whole picture”. Is this even English? There’s also something called a comma which is used to break up sentences, and a space goes after a period. Please don’t tell others to educate themselves when you clearly have no education yourself…

    3. @Maureen Hansen “3rd grad spelling” Are you really trying make fun of someone’s spelling when you yourself can’t even spell grade? Plus everything you’ve just listed as Trump’s accomplishments are impossible to prove. If you understand a single thing of economics, you would realize that not one administration nor one man could be held responsible for how the economy is doing. It is a constantly evolving system that stems from policies of multiple administrations over the course of many years. So to say one person is responsible for any of it is ignorant and uneducated. It’s called following a trend. Look at any economic chart for the past two decades and you’ll see what I mean.

    4. @Maureen Hansen I know you were just typing fast. My point was if you’re going to go out of your way to make fun of someone else’s spelling, make sure you proof read your own writing before looking like a hypocritical moron. You may now go back to your ignorant partisan rants about blacks and the Bidens.

    1. Pup Pup Man like we’re in a state of emergency and all she wants to do is criticize the president. Maybe instead of continuously riding the butthurt train for 3+ years she could get off and actually help people instead of trying to hurt Trump. I don’t know for sure if any republicans are doing what she’s doing but to Democrats, but I hope not

    1. …and money for abortions, how counter-intuitive of democrats, insisting on killing more babies during a pandemic ! Such hypocrites, pretending to nurture life with one handout, only to destroy life with the other hand. Pelosi’s a megalomaniac, thinking that she has the power of life and death over us all; she makes “being a god” look like a piece of cake. All she has to do is stamp her feet and flap her hands at us and she gets her way.

  3. Listening to her is like getting stock market advice from a homeless person. Vote again California, you get what you get.

    1. Sadly, we Californians are stuck with Pelosi. They seem to love her in her toilet bowl district of San Francisco.

    2. @x x and every ones comments are just so lovingly made to the earth that needs fixing and help for all the destruction we’ve done and keep doing. We earthling humans have caused all of this with potty mouths and not caring how what we are doing physically, mentally and spiritually to our surroundings.

  4. She condemned him in the beginning when he imposed a travel ban, saying it was……wait for it……….RASCIST!
    Ahhhh the ol’ crutch they use.

    1. BECAUS E IT WAS RACIST!@!!!!! TRUMP DIDN’T DO ENOUGH TO STOP THE VIRUS!!!!! WE NEED REAL CURES!!!!!! NOT THE ONE TRUMP IS SAYING!!!!!! WE NEED TO GET MONEY!@!!!!! NOOOOOO THE ILLEGALS NEED IT FIRST!@!!!!! TRUMP MAN BAD!!!!!!! DEMOCRATS GOOD!!!!!!!

    2. danielangel vega assuming his voters are all uneducated and inbred is the reason why Hillary got spanked in the vote that counts. So whose the dumb$&@?! You’ll prolly never get it.

  5. The deaths of people from Corona Virus the week+ Pelosi was screwing around with her personal pork in the Stimulous, IS ON HER HANDS! She should be tried for murder!!

  6. I’m mother of DR. Who fight for the people’s life in front line. She has no clues what they do to save your lousy life one day!! Shame on you Nancy

    1. @Yung Savage How could he??? What brilliant ideas do you have? How would you have handled something that the Chinese gov’t put under wraps….allowed 5 million people from the epicenter of the virus leave without checking them….AND never reported it to The WHO. Now….tell us what you would do? Maybe get supplies and lose them and say you never got them….only to be found in a warehouse later on? Or say that it is racist to stop flights from certain areas? That is what the democrats have done

    2. @Lisa Kain Apparently, Trump got a lot training on dealing with pandemics when he was the host of the Celebrity Apprentice.

  7. “We have to address what happened to the District of Columbia,” like she didn’t write part of the bill or wasn’t involved in making sure that the Kennedy Center received $25 million and other unrelated ish to the bill.

    1. William Arnn she’s not satisfied making children go hungry in this age and spending their future earnings by slapping them with unthinkably large debt… she also wants to murder them before they are even born. It’s like Satan possessed someone’s grandma

  8. Everything was set until she flew in from her mansion while everyone else was working… Pelosi is worried about their green new deal

    1. Yup, and she’s somehow managing to still blame it on Trump. Imagine doing something like holding up a bill that was urgently needed to help the American citizens, some to even help feed their children. Then, after holding up that bill, you blame it being held up on the one that tried to get it out. She’s pure evil and doesn’t care for anything but power.

    1. Dude, she will never run for speaker of the house due to the fact that she ripped the state of union address as a temper tantrum because of we have a president that actually care about us. She must realize that she committed high treason, right? Of course not, she never cared about us. All she wants is a country ruled by liberals and those who are not liberal should become slaves. F**k that for a laugh, I would rather have a country where the president and the house actually caring about the American people rather than a country where ‘It’s the Liberal’s way or the Highway’. I’ve been loyal to this country for far too long and yet the Liberals think that it’s ok to steal money from those who are on disability (I am on disability due to my mental health problems).

    2. @Stormvainia World yes Trump cares about you. He wants you to go back to work for the economy on Easter, but changed his mind last minute. He uses your tax money to help with schools, healthcare, and street repairs instead of golf. He never lies and always tells the truth. He is sending you a one time payment of 1200 to last through this crisis when the Dems offered at least 2000. Trump cares about the people not big companies

    3. JT everything is wrong with what she did sounds like you would love to see Americans die for your cult leaders agenda moron

    1. I’m sure you meant to say Trump is the problem. Trump pays no taxes! Lets see how much of the stimulus he takes for himself What was that… BIG PROBLEM

  9. “Where’s my martini?” asked the old drunk woman as she juggled the pair of dentures with her lips.

    1. @Wa Vang Who said that was Obama’s fault? You’re really nick picking here, aren’t you? Trump firing the Pandemic Team was in-response for cost cuts, which is a stupid idea to be honest. Short Supply of Medical Equipment is caused by manufacturers who aren’t doing enough to get them to the hospitals. No Pandemic Plan was simply because there wasn’t any sight of a Pandemic. But, Obama did wait until 1,000 deaths to call upon a National Emergency for the Swine Flu. Trump called a National Emergency when COVID-19 had 43 deaths. Pretty big difference there.

    2. @William Arnn trump CHEATS TAXPAYERS OUT OF A LOT MORE THAN WHAT HIS SALARY WOULD BE !! WE PAY FOR HIS SECRET SERVICE, THEIR LODGING, FOOD AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT HAS TO BE PAID ON ALL THOSE GOLF TRIPS TO trumps GOLF RESORTS!! HAVEN’T YOU EVER FIGURED OUT WHOSE POCKETS THAT MONEY ENDS UP IN ???? D O Y O U S E E T H E L I G H T N O W ???? HIS NOT TAKING A SALARY IS JUST ANOTHER DEFLECTION FROM WHAT HE IS DOING !!!!!

  10. “As the President fiddles…”
    “Pelosi eventually dropped her bill, but it appears Democrats did get a few of their pet projects in… While most of the egregious power grabs were rightly dropped, *Pelosi WASTED precious time* in a crisis.”
    _The world can clearly see Pelosi’s agenda and fiddling, but nice try at deflecting._

    1. @Connor McLaren while you hate on big corporations and billionaire CEOs you may want to quietly thank them for keeping our shelves restocked.

      Look at most countries dealing with this. Waiting on government to deliver rations or no food at all. Unlike those countries we have good ol capitalism driving the train of commerce keeping our bellies full and our butts wiped.

      *ERROR*
      *reset*

      Capitalism bad. Orange man bad. Praise Momma Pelosi.

    2. @Connor McLaren also might I ask what your definition of poor is? Is it a family who can’t afford enough food even though both parents work overtime? Or is it one of these thousands of 20 somethings living on the streets here in Denver who refuse to work and steal welfare from people who need it all the while being pampered by Polis?

      Here in Colorado we are seeing many of the policies put forward that the Democrats are trying to push out on the entire country. Believe me you don’t want this.

    3. MtDewKraftMacnChz TacoBellPizzaRollGameFuel#1 Im talking about the lower middle class. The servers, the bartenders, the Uber driver, the people without government help. They need help. Sure billionaire companies are helping out people. But if the government helped the people instead of giving it to the companies to give to the people? That sounds like an unnecessary step. I’m not talking about the poorest people they’re fine. It’s the lower middle 25% that needs help.

    4. @Connor McLaren see views like yours are what happens when people pay half attention. Do you know why they cut gig workers out of the coronavirus stimulus package? Because at the end of the day those servers, bartenders and Uber drivers can easily go find other work at places that are still open. They have an income level and lifestyle that can easily be matched by working for Target, Amazon or Walmart.

      And before you suggest they can’t I am an assistant manager at a Circle K here in Denver and we’ve hired three people at our store in the last week. One is a guy that was waiting tables tables and did Lyft on the side, a girl who got laid off from Red Robin and a roofing contractor.

      They all say that they are happier having a job then relying on government benefits. This is the perfect example of losing jobs in one area and gaining jobs in another area and the workers being able to shift very easily.

      Unless you are suggesting that it’s better for people to sit on their butts on welfare than working for their living.

      Capitalism ftw

    5. @Connor McLaren also my big bad evil Corporation has given all of us employees Nationwide 2.50 raise, 14 days paid sick leave if we catch the virus and are allowing some people that are elderly with pre-existing conditions to work less but still make the same amount. They’re basically letting the old people stay home more but not lose money.

      So evil. So greedy. How dare our government make people work for money.

    1. The reason she did that is cuz Republican tried to rush the stimulus bill to president and added the condition to it in last minute so they can stash to any corporation without Democrat’s awareness within 6 months. $11 trillion seem have a motivation for themselves.

  11. Wait let me get this straight.
    The Witch that held American aid hostage and fiddled with our money is accusing the President with what!?

    1. That’s how narcissists work accusing others of what THEY are actually doing. When and how did elite Democrats turn into such self-serving sacks of manure?
