Nancy Pelosi ABANDONS plan to bring back the House after just a day as Congress' physician warns it is dangerous - and Donald Trump mocks that Democrats are 'enjoying their vacation'
Daily Mail ^ | April 28, 2020 | Nikki Schwab

The House of Representatives will no longer come back in session on May 4, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday on a call with reporters.

Hoyer instead said the Congressional session would resume 'very soon,' but he explained that the Attending Physician of the United States Congress, Dr. Brian Monahan, indicated it was too much of a health risk for members to come back to Washington, D.C., because coronavirus cases in the area hadn't decreased in number yet.

'There was a risk to members that he would not recommend taking,' Hoyer said.

The No. 2 Democrat also said the session was delayed because CARES 2, the next coronavirus package Congress will take up, isn't ready for a vote yet.

Hoyer's announcement was an about-face, as House Democrats were informed on a call Monday that they were to come back to town in one week's time.

A number of House Democrats rebelled against that plan, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat who previously led the Democratic National Committee, calling the move 'dangerous,' Politico reported.

President Trump had a different take after the cancellation was announced Tuesday, telling reporters that Democrats are 'enjoying their vacation.'

'Yeah, I think they are, I think they are,' Trump said. 'Look at Nancy Pelosi eating ice cream on late night television, yeah I think they probably are having a good time.'

They aren't coming back. Is there a better definition of "non-essential" than that?

We are SO much better off without them.

There is little chance in hell, now that it has been publicized, that Pelosi will be away from her personal ice cream freezers for an extended period of time.

He shouldn’t have joked - he should’ve condemned Pelosi and the Democrats for abandoning the American people in a time of crisis who are out there putting their lives on the line.

They dont do Jack chit when they are in DC, so no great loss that they are haunting their home districts. I still say they should forego their pay, but they are far too greedy and corrupt to ever consider that!!/S

Nan is about to hit POTUS between the eyes with a major guilt trip or outright blackmail re mandatory voting by mail.

I hope he's ready for the fight of his life because we need Trump the Fighter like we have never needed him before.

Please keep them out on vacation for a long, long time. Liberty is never at more risk than when congress is in session.

If Trump signs any bill containing vote-by-mail, he will be a 1-term president.

Meanwhile Trump has been in the House, doing the job, all day every day, not leaving.

For the remainder of the campaign season, plan on Trump using this fact like a tire iron on the dems.

It is amazing that these same congress critters have no qualms about expecting our military personnel to go to all corners of the globe regardless of the danger to serve our nation. Yet this bunch of cowards are afraid to gather in the house chamber and do their service to the nation for which they are being handsomely paid to do. They should give up their pay until the house is called to order again.

Why can’t they ZOOM their sessions? They want us to ZOOM, they should too. (And never return to D.C.)

And have their pay docked according to how many days of work they’ve missed.

Don’t you agree?
