House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Sunday that an “after-action review” would be needed to examine what she described as President Trump’s “deadly” slow response to the outbreak.
“I don’t know what the scientists said to him. When did this president know about this? And what did he know? What did he know, and when did he know it? That’s for an after-action review,” Pelosi said during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday. “But as the president fiddles, people are dying. And we just have to take every precaution.”
“The president, his denial at the beginning, was deadly. His delaying of getting equipment to where it — it continues his delaying in getting equipment to where it’s needed is deadly,” the California Democrat added.
Trump responded to Pelosi’s interview Monday morning, labeling her a “sick puppy.”
“It’s a sad thing,” Trump said during a call-in interview on Fox & Friends. “She’s a sick puppy, in my opinion. She’s got a lot of problems.”
He later said, “All she did was focus on impeachment. She didn’t focus on anything having to do with pandemics. And she lost, and she looked like a fool.”
