Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi clammed-up Thursday when asked to comment on allegations of sexual misconduct against former Vice President Joe Biden; saying she doesn’t need a “lecture or a speech” on the subject.
“How do Democrats square the idea that they’re standing by Biden, but using a different standard for Brett Kavanaugh when you demanded an investigation,” asked one reporter.
Speaker Pelosi snaps at a reporter who points out the double standard concerning how Democrats treated sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden vs. Brett Kavanaugh:
“I don’t need a lecture…”

“I don’t need a lecture or a speech… Here’s the thing… I respect the ‘Me Too’ movement. I have four daughters and one son. There’s also due process. The fact that Joe Biden is Joe Biden… They’re have been statements… There was never any record of this, nobody ever came forward… I am so proud,” fired-back Pelosi.

AMNESIA: After Telling Tourists ‘All IS WELL,' Pelosi Blames Trump for Not ‘Shutting the Door’ to China
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi continued to blame the Trump administration for the global Coronavirus pandemic this week; saying the President should have “shut the door” to China despite telling tourists “All is Well” in California during the same period.
“Do you agree that it was the right move by President Trump at the time?” asked CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Speaker Pelosi on Trump's China travel restriction: "Tens of thousands of people were still allowed in from China.

AOC: Senate’s Coronavirus Stimulus Package is ‘Historic Corporate Giveaway’
Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped the Senate’s Coronavirus stimulus package Wednesday afternoon; describing the proposal as a “historic corporate giveaway” at the expense of American workers.
“Just a reminder that there is absolutely no good reason why Senate Republicans are tying a historic corporate giveaway to getting relief money in the hands of families. They could just authorize sending checks to families today, right now, & deal with the rest. But they refuse,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media.

Members of the ‘Squad’ demanded a series of far-left proposals be included in the Congressional relief package to help Coronavirus victims this week; asking for the cancellation of student debt, banning of evictions, and prohibition of “executive bonuses” in the plan.
“Any rescue package must:
1) Cancel student debt
2) Fund losses for small businesses and local governments
3) Ban evictions and foreclosures
4) Ban stock buybacks and executive bonuses
We need a groundswell of support for these critical measures!” posted Omar on social media.
“The developments of this Senate relief bill are concerning. We are hearing lots of vague statements, but not a single member of Congress has seen actual bill text. It seems to give a *HALF TRILLION DOLLARS* away to big corporations, w/ few worker protections. Half a trillion,” added Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

“After days of intense discussions, the Senate has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package for this pandemic,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “It will rush new resources onto the front lines of our nation’s health care fight.
