The Speech Was Lazy': Nancy Pelosi Trashes Trump's State of the Union Address in Unsparing CNN Monologue
"I thought the speech was lazy. You know, it's one thing to acknowledge patriotism and people getting well and everything when you have absolutely nothing to do with their courage or the rest, but you spend an hour and a half doing it what is the state of the nation?"
"He took a half a billion dollars out of, excuse me, half a trillion dollars out of Medicare in his BBB and a trillion dollars out of Medicaid, which is a health benefit for many seniors in our country as well. What was sad for me was to see when he talked about how many people he took off of SNAP food program for children and the rest that the Republicans just stood up and cheered."
"Did he spend a sentence and a half on Ukraine? Where democracy is at stake, where American people want us to be there on the side of democracy? Today is the four-year anniversary. You think he would have risen to the occasion, but his occasion, as I said in that picture in the Cabinet room, pointing to him that day, I said, With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump's State of the Union address on CNN, calling it lazy and lacking substantive policy discussion. She accused Trump of spending excessive time acknowledging patriotism without contributing to it. Pelosi highlighted concerns about his proposed budget cuts to Medicare and Medicaid while providing tax cuts to wealthy Americans, and criticized Republican applause for removing people from SNAP benefits. She also faulted Trump for minimal attention to Ukraine during its critical four-year anniversary of conflict, arguing his foreign policy prioritizes Putin's interests over democracy.
