The president's attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi comes after she launched an attack against him on Sunday morning for his handling of the coronavirus crisis.
Pelosi, blasted the president on Sunday for exacerbating the coronavirus crisis, she said on CNN's State of the Union Sunday morning.
'As the president fiddles, people are dying,'
'What the president – his denial at the beginning was deadly,' the House Speaker said.
'His delaying of getting equipment to where – it continues – his delaying getting equipment to where it's needed is deadly.'
'And now, I think the best thing would be to do is to prevent more loss of life rather than open things up so that – because we just don't know,' she continued
'We have to have testing, testing, testing – that's what we said from the start – before we can evaluate what the nature of it is in some of these other regions, as well,' she continued. 'I don't know what the purpose of that is.'
'Well you know, it's a sad thing. Look, she's a sick puppy in my opinion. She really is. She's got a lot of problems and that's a horrible thing to say,' Trump said in reaction to a question during a Fox & Friends interview Monday about Pelosi blaming him for not handling the coronavirus crisis in a timely manner, and claiming while he 'fiddles, people are dying.'
'Dr. Fauci said the other day, if those people came in, if I didn't do that [closed borders], you would have had deaths like you would have never seen before, and you know, she doesn't mention that and that was early and don't forget she was playing the impeachment game. Her game where she ended up looking like a fool.'
