When Nancy Pelosi appeared on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on Wednesday, the House Speaker accused President Donald Trump of “cheering people on” with “guns and swastikas to the legislature in Michigan.”
Pelosi Plays Dirty
Pelosi said, “The fact is if you undermine science, if you underfund testing, if you exaggerate the opportunity that it’s out there for the economy at the risk of people dying, that’s not a plan. Death is not an economic motivator stimulus. So why are we going down that path?”

“Why don’t we — you know everyone wants to get out and we think to unlock the lockdown is to test, trace and treat as well as isolate and social distancing,” she continued. “And when the science tells us that we can do something differently or to be socially distant wearing your mask, doing things in a way that is appropriate.”
She’s Tried This Smear Before
Breitbart’s Joel Pollak recalled on social media that Pelosi also tried to smear the Tea Party movement in the same way a decade ago.
This is the same bogus attack Pelosi used in 2009 against the Tea Party.

Pelosi continued on MSNBC, “But not cheering people on going with guns and swastikas to the legislature in Michigan and saying these are really good people.”
She didn’t stop there.
“What I don’t understand about someone associated with the task force is how the concern that that happened and it’s dangerous and these people can take this home with them and hurt their families and all of the rest, but they never say to the president, don’t look fondly on that,” Pelosi said. “That’s not supposed to happen. It’s in defiance of the guidelines you’re asking people to honor and yet you honor those who are in violation of them.”

She finished, “So, again, how can we find our common ground for the funding, for the testing, for honoring our heroes and for putting money in the pockets of the American people? We have to do that more effectively and with more money.”
