Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she was giving President Donald Trump a dose of his own medicine when she described him as morbidly obese in a television interview earlier this week.
I didnt say anything about the president. I gave him a dose of his own medicine, Pelosi told reporters in her weekly press conference when asked about her dig at Trumps weight. I was only quoting what doctors had said about him and I was being factual in a very sympathetic way.
Pelosi made the comments in a Monday interview with CNN as she blasted Trumps decision to take hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, in an attempt to ward off coronavirus. The drug, which the president has relentlessly promoted as a coronavirus remedy, has not been proven to have any effect on stemming the spread of the virus.
Pelosi said Monday that it was not a good idea to take the controversial drug because it can pose a risk for people with heart conditions and he is "morbidly obese.

(6,137 posts)this should not even be in the news! Its entertainment, fake news if it gets repeated by other networks. Trump says way way worse things and openly lies, she has references to back up her comment. Morbidly obese, in acute mental decline, etc. those are real doctors observations.
