I think most Americans would agree that crises shouldn't be politicized. When people in this country are at risk, be it by illness, by war, or by natural disaster, there ought to be a seriousness that supersedes any agenda. But that's not what we're seeing happen these days.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could have brought the $8.3 billion coronavirus bill to the house floor last week, but she didn't. Pennsylvania Congressman Guy Reschenthaler told me on my show Thursday that instead of expediting the bipartisan measure (which quickly was approved in the Senate yesterday), Speaker Pelosi instead sat on the measure for political reasons.
