Thursday on CNBC’s Squawk Box, doddering, out-of-touch House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed Republican lawmakers don’t give a damn about minorities.
The show’s host asked Pelosi why she can’t “go across the aisle” and agree to “give a huge chunk of money to the people who are disenfranchised, to minorities who want so badly to stay in business and can’t, and to people who are trying to go to college or have student loans, who are minorities, who are the most affected…”
“Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn for what you just described,” Pelosi replied. “That is the problem. See, they don’t believe in governance. They don’t believe in governance. That requires some acts of government to do that. But just what you describe is what Mr. Schumer, Chuck Schumer, is proposing that we do with some of the resources in the bill. You described Chuck Schumer’s proposal exactly.”
This is pure projection on Pelosi’s part. It is the Democrats who don’t give a damn about minorities, and who are holding coronavirus relief hostage until they get their agenda pushed through Congress.
