Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy hammered Nancy Pelosi as ‘despicable’ for admitting she stalled COVID relief negotiations because of President Trump.

The House Speaker recently admitted she had become more flexible on her terms in seeking relief for the American people because “we have a new President.”

You may recall that Pelosi refused to make concessions on any coronavirus relief package despite the suffering of people and businesses – demanding a minimum of $2 trillion and the inclusion of numerous liberal pet projects in the legislation.

Her tune changed after Joe Biden’s seeming victory in the election when she signaled support for a $908 billion package, significantly less than her hardline stance and roughly half of a $1.8 trillion package proposed by the White House in October.

Pelosi admitted it was all politics, saying the new far lesser package that doesn’t even contain stimulus checks to the American people is acceptable for a very curious reason.

It “has simplicity, it’s what we had in our bills, it’s for a shorter period of time, but that’s O.K. now because we have a new president,” she said.

Gowdy, appearing on ‘The Daily Briefing’ on Fox News, leveled Pelosi for what he dubbed “despicable” actions.

“That’s one of the dumbest and also most despicable things I have ever heard an elected leader say,” Gowdy said of Pelosi’s remarks.
