Congressional House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was too busy focusing on impeachment to stop the pandemic, according to comedian Chris Rock.
Comedian Chris Rock slammed Democratic lawmakers for focusing on impeachment while the pandemic was rapidly spreading throughout Asia.
"It was totally up to Pelosi and the Democrats. Their thing was, ‘We’re going to get him impeached,’ which was never going to happen. You let the pandemic come in. Yes, we can blame Trump, but he’s really the 5-year-old," the New York comedian told the New York Times in a wide-ranging interview.
In fact, as Breitbart's David Ng notes, "Democrat leaders showed little to no public interest in the coronavirus pandemic during its early months. In January, when the gravity of the virus was becoming apparent, Congressional Democrats staged a photo-op in which they solemnly walked the articles of impeachment through the Capitol rotunda."
Later that month, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) infamously tore up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address on live television, even though the address directly referenced the pandemic and promised that the White House “will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.” -Breitbart
