Pelosi says Trump executive orders on coronavirus relief are 'unconstitutional slop'

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Sunday slammed President Trump’s executive orders giving economic relief on coronavirus.

“What the president did is unconstitutional slop,” Pelosi said Aug. 9 on Fox News Sunday, denouncing the orders as “illusions.”

Pelosi (D-Calif) fired back at host Chris Wallace when he reminded her that Trump signed the orders when Congress failed to pass a relief package.

“We have to reach an agreement,” Pelosi said. “Children are food insecure. Families are at the risk of being evicted. The virus is moving like a freight train.” Taking a swipe at Trump, she continued:  “The kindest thing I could say is he doesn’t know what he’s talking about or something’s wrong there — something’s very, very wrong.”

Pelosi leveled her charges after Trump bypassed the stalemated Congress, and directly signed four relief measures in the form of executive actions.
