House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was confronted Sunday over her efforts to block coronavirus relief last year after she recently attempted to blame Republicans for holding up a second economic relief bill for millions of Americans whose sources of income have been cut by lockdowns and other COVID-related restrictions.
"What about the COVID relief package that was held up for eight months?" Stahl fired back.
"No. But that was their obstruction," Pelosi claimed.
After more back-and-forth, in which Stahl continued to push back against Pelosi's claims that Republicans were "obstructing" COVID relief last year, Pelosi eventually admitted that Democrats indeed blocked COVID relief — but bashed Republicans in the process.
