Nancy Pelosi Calls Out Katy Tur For Being A Trump Apologist

Nancy Pelosi Calls Out Katy Tur For Being A Trump Apologist

"SNIP...........

So, it might surprise Tur to learn that a sizable number of MSNBC viewers agree with Pelosi.

The idea that the pandemic was solely responsible for the job losses under Trump is a false Republican talking point.

Studies have shown that Trump’s economic policies had already pushed the economy into recession. The economy was already in recession before COVID. Trump was going to have a bad jobs record without the pandemic. Solely blaming the pandemic for the job losses ignores what Trump did to the economy.

3. I've seen a lot of negative Tur posts on DU. And I think she has a problem with conveying her point at times.

Don't watch her or Andrea much, doing other stuff in the PM, so kinda neutral but there are people at MSNBC that should be given a shot..

Trump couldn’t figure out a way to gouge the public financially so he just let many of them die. He knew his apologists would act, and apparently they still are.

If your next guest is Nancy Pelosi, it would behoove you to know shit from shinola. That’s a technical reference.
