He didn't mention her part blocking Covid funding, the first round with checks, for a week or more. It was reported by her own cheer-leading media that she gave the nod for the Democratic Senators to block the Republican (and likely bipartisan) Covid relief plan at the last moment. They pretended that the Republican's Covid plan was wrong for wanting to alleviate companies from liability, while the government was urging critical companies to go back to work. They also wanted to weasel in some extra money for Democrat cities.

So after blocking the Senate Covid relief, the Democrat majority House under Pelosi put out the same bill, with some nut job extra crap no one would accept tacked on, more than the extra handout to states. Of course, the Republicans rejected it. Pelosi held out for a whole week or more, while her media reported that 'those horrible Republicans were blocking Covid relief.' People suffered and died while Pelosi held out long enough for that to hit the news cycle twice, knowing they will easily re-write history there. Then after the hold out, she cut all the extra crazy stuff off the bill, until it was almost exactly the same Senate bill, submitted it, then of course the Republicans accepted their own bill, despite it be re-labeled as a Democrat Covid relief bill, and it sailed through.

The whole, 'why are you blocking this virtuous bill, with crazy stuff added on no one can except,'....seems to be a common trick. Today's Democrat government shutdown threat if they don't get their way about giving more American money to Ukraine, which is being blamed by the media on Republicans, seems just another form of the same trick.
