House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned against President Donald Trump's actions and rhetoric during the coronavirus public health crisis, insisting that his message could put the U.S. in "further danger."
"If he continues to predicate the actions that we take on a false premise, then we're in further danger," Pelosi said during a wide-ranging interview on "This Week" with ABC News.
Pelosi also referred to Trump's comments at the onset of the crisis, in February, when he told reporters that the novel coronavirus would "disappear" like a "miracle," and that it "will go away."
"His earlier delay and denial caused deaths," Pelosi said. "So it's very important that we walk the line that is close to evidence, data, science as we go forward, and not a whimsy, magic, hoax of allegations and placing blame instead of taking responsibility."
"We cannot fight a pandemic, we cannot open up our economy based on falsehoods," Pelosi added.
Pelosi's comments come amid an ongoing war-of-words with Trump, who took to Twitter to blast the speaker, calling her an "incompetent, third-rate politician" who is "responsible for many deaths."
"Frankly, I don't pay that much attention to the president's tweets against me," Pelosi told Stephanopoulos. "As I've said, he's a poor leader, he's always trying to avoid responsibility and assign blame."
Pelosi was also critical of Trump's handling of protests that have broken out in a handful of states over shelter-in-place orders that have kept workers from their jobs.

let her eat (redacted)
I scream you scream we all scream for $12/pint ice cream!
Where was she during 0bama’s H1N1 fiasco?
Have some more $13 a pint ice cream and STFU you sick twisted b****.
L
delay!!!!!!! This woman and her party was telling people to go to Chinatown and then called him a racist in January.
Good grief she and her idiots have been wrong at every turn, and the media keeps covering for them.
She the NY Gov, Mayor of NYC all told people to go to restaurants, movies ignore Trump.
It is they who put more people into danger, and they opposed the travel ban too.
Media stop this crap and call theirn lying shite out for once.
It was interesting doing a search with the terms “Pelosi”, “Chinatown”, “Virus”. I had to wend through a bunch of hits “debunking” the claim that Pelosi was dismissive of the risks before she criticized the President for dismissing the risks. Only persistence allowed me to find articles like this one. Not quite thrown down the memory hole, but so buried that the result is virtually the same.

I hate this evil, disgusting, filthy creature.
She is losing and will continue to lose. Her problem, amongst many, stems from the kid gloves the media treats her with. Because she is unchallenged, she has come to believe that her pronouncements are instantly accepted. In short, she believes her own press.
She has developed a goddess complex and it does not come off well. It comes off as the rantings of a deluded loon.
Pelosi’s surfaced? I thought she was locked in her mansion in a designer-icecream pig-out.
She needs to put her head in the freezer with the ice cream for a month or two. We would have to trash the ice cream later but worth the price.
When a political whore like Pelosi says she doesn’t read his tweets....
It means she obsesses over them and is seething with rage.
Hope President Trump wins this round, and every other.
Worried that serious Swamp Draining is about to begin?
I had the same problem last night.
I had a liberal claiming it was not true. I had to spend about 20 minutes for a video, and media articles.
Yet again the propaganda wing for the rats are trying to rewrite history.
Always helpful Nancy.
How can people be putting him down like this and be getting away with it.
Did the entire opposing party, news organizations and media figures constantly publicly criticize FDR during WWII? (We think everyone loved him but that’s not true.
"People are taking to the streets, pushing back against some of the more stringent restrictions in some states," Wallace said during the interview, which is set to air Sunday on Fox News Channel. "Can you understand why they're doing that?"
Pelosi responded: "No, not, not really because what we have to do is, is, is shelter in place. That is really the answer."
Meanwhile,Nancy, In the real world, not your billionaire world, Our economy/citizens has been brutally raped/abused with the actions of your fellow elites, democrat governors!
“A shutdown is a broadly destructive solution, to a problem that could have been solved with far more targeted approaches!"
Quarantines only work to keep a small amount of sick people from going out and spreading the disease!
They don’t work to keep the vast majority of healthy people locked inside.
Thanks to HotHunt for this great visual!
If people want to stay home, let them! NO ONE wants to force them to go out!
“As I’ve said, he’s a poor leader, he’s always trying to avoid responsibility and assign blame.”

These people should run months-old stories. Liberals are wacko but they vote
Pelosi talks like a communist in the article.
