President Trump on Wednesday accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of trying to create a panic over the coronavirus, hitting back after she said he didn’t know what he was talking about on the subject.
“She’s trying to create a panic,†Trump told reporters in a rare appearance in the White House briefing room to discuss the virus, adding there was no reason for one.
Pelosi earlier on Wednesday said, “I don’t think the president knows what he’s talking about,†when it comes to fighting the virus.
Trump hit back hard in an extended answer to a question from a reporter, while standing alongside public health experts at a briefing on the virus.
“I think Speaker Pelosi’s incompetent,†he said, adding he thinks Democrats will lose control of the House.
