As the United States of America continues efforts aimed at
flattening the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has accused President Donald Trump of causing
thousands of deaths. In a release sent to her Democratic colleagues on Tuesday,
the Speaker accused the President of dismantling the infrastructure handed to
him. “Now more than ever, we need the truth. And the truth is that Donald Trump
dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and
overcome a pandemic, resulting in unnecessary deaths and economic disaster”,
she stated.
She continued that “the truth is that in January Donald
Trump was warned about this pandemic, ignored those warnings, took insufficient
action and caused unnecessary death and disaster. The truth is that Donald Trump
told his most loyal followers that the pandemic was a hoax and that it would
magically disappear, thus endangering lives and paving way for economic
disaster.
The truth is that we did not have proper testing available
in March despite Trump repeatedly claiming that we did, and even now, we do not
have adequate tests, masks, PPE, and necessary equipment, which creates unnecessary
death and suffering.
The truth is because of an incompetent reaction to this
health crisis, the strong economy handed to Donald Trump is now a disaster,
causing the suffering of countless Americans and endangering lives.
The truth is a weak person, a poor leader, takes no
responsibility. A weak person blames others.
There are important decisions ahead. Making the right choices
requires understanding of the truth of what took place and of what is currently
happening.
We can go forward confident that America, its competent and
honest leaders and its people are fully capable of making the right choices and
decisions to restore the American greatness that has been squandered.
But if we are not working from the truth, more lives will be
lost, economic hardship and suffering will be extended unnecessarily and our
children will not be safe, happy and learning. Our future will be healthy and prosperous
if we no longer tolerate lies and deceit”.
