Pelosi’s ‘Politics as Usual’
The president stressed the importance of leaving politics aside for the time being and focusing on defeating the “invisible enemy” - the coronavirus pandemic, as the nation is close to a total of 250,000 confirmed cases.
“It’s witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt,... And it’s not any time for witch hunts,” President Trump
Trump’s remarks at the briefing were also seen in a harsh letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying that if less time was spent on the “ridiculous impeachment hoax,” perhaps New York could’ve been better prepared for the outbreak.
Despite proposals by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to make a committee similar to those made after Pearl Habor and 9/11, Pelosi said that the new committee’s focus will be the “here and now,” with special care regarding the allocation of the over $2 trillion directed to economic recovery.
“..., we need to ensure those dollars are spent carefully and effectively,” Pelosi said of the historic stimulus bill.
