House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Trump and McConnell 'should not try to hide' behind suggestions that the impeachment trial distracted the government from coronavirus

"I think that's an admission that perhaps the President and the majority leader cannot handle the job," Pelosi told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview."We have a life and death situation in our country and they should not try to hide behind an excuse for why they did not take action, but it does admit that they did not take action," Pelosi said, adding,"Right now we have to work together to get the job done.
