Trump, Pelosi Trade Insults

President Donald Trump tore into Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Twitter after appearing in a Fox News Sunday interview with anchor Chris Wallace, blasting the speaker as “inherently dumb,” while further ripping Wallace and the cable network.


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in an interview with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, swatted down President Donald Trump’s insults blasting the president over “avoid[ing] responsibility and assign[ing] blame.”

Mediaite reports the speaker Sunday morning on This Week with George Stephanopoulos further refocused the conversation on how the nation should be responding to the coronavirus pandemic.

“As we come on the air this morning the coronavirus continues to spread. Now more than 730,000 cases across America. And as the fight to contain the virus goes on the White House, Congress and governors also now focused on containing the economic devastation caused by the pandemic,” Stephanopoulos began.

The anchor continued, “At the White House last night, the president stepped up his attacks on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claiming she’s blocking new funding for the paycheck protection plan program for small business.”

“You know, over the last 48 hours, President Trump has leveled a series of tweets and attacks against you, calling you weak, crazy, away on vacation, and more importantly, he’s accused you of costing American jobs by blocking new finds for the paycheck protection program,” Stephanopoulos stated.

“What’s your response?” the anchor asked Pelosi.
