Tuesday on FNC’s “Fox News @ Night,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) dismissed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) criticisms of the timing of President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus, noting that at points the Speaker held up the relief.
According to the Tennessee lawmaker, Pelosi’s efforts to frame the debate as being centered around Trump’s alleged shortcomings was “revisionist history.”
“They are politicizing everything at a time when people should be working together,” she said. “And for Nancy Pelosi to have held up the Phase Three package for five days while she wanted to get money for the Kennedy Center, for the Arts, for the Humanities, and now she held this package up for a full week, knowing that the money had to be coming in that fund was going to run out of money. And she held it up for a full week, and now she is trying to say that it wasn’t her fault at all — revisionist history.”
“She must have a Ph.D. in revisionist history because she is at it at every turn,” Blackburn continued. “They despise President Donald Trump, who has done a tremendous job leading our country through this effort. They will stop at nothing to diminish the work that he is doing. This is just more of their partisan politics. I really wish they would set it aside and say we have worked together on this.”
“There are other things we’re going to need to address,” she added. And a good attitude would go a really long way with the American people. I think frankly, they are sick of seeing Nancy Pelosi and her $24,000 freezer and her $12-pint-ice cream because they know that this coronavirus has cost this nation $6 trillion, we will probably lose another $5 trillion through this. They know we are all in this together, they’re ready to go back to work. And her silliness and games are not appreciated by the American people.”
