Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has finally admitted that she was the one that blocked COVID relief from Americans before the election.
According to Town Hall:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted during a press conference on Friday it was Democrats’ decision to withhold crucially needed aid for Americans suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
When asked by CNN reporter Manu Raju if it was a “mistake” to wait months for a concerted effort to pass a clean COVID relief bill, Pelosi got defensive.
“I’m going to tell you something — don’t characterize what we did before as a mistake, as a preface to your question if you want an answer. That was not a mistake, it was a decision, and it’s taken us to a place where we can do the right thing without other, shall we say, considerations in the legislation that we don’t want. Now, that is it. Now the fact is, I’m very proud of where we are,” Pelosi said.
She went on to say the reason why she wants to pass a bill now is because Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the presidential election and a number of vaccines are being produced.

Pelosi has said during months of “negotiations” that she would never accept a smaller COVID relief bill. Post-election, she now says she will and expresses a sense of urgency that should have existed all along. And when a deal passes, she’ll somehow get the lion’s share of credit

Democrats continue to claim that a dependence on science is needed but only recognize “science” that fits their narrative.
