Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday announced the creation of a special House committee charged with overseeing the unprecedented, multitrillion-dollar federal response to the coronavirus pandemic. Pelosi has tapped Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the Democratic whip, to lead the bipartisan panel, which will be authorized "to examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus and ensure the taxpayer's dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent." "The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gauging, profiteering and political favoritism," she told reporters on a press call. "The fact is, we do need transparency and accountability."

WHO DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING???

Separately, a pair of Democratic committee heads — Reps. Bennie Thompson (Miss.) and Adam Schiff (Calif.) — are pushing for the creation of an independent panel, modeled on the 9/11 Commission, to investigate the reasons the United States was so unprepared to cope with the coronavirus epidemic

conservative newspapers and conservatives voices liek on fox need to be blarign these headlines:
.
“Death toll rising rapidly in NY due to Cuomo’s refusal to give life saving drugs to patients. Other States run by democrats also refuse to allow life saving drugs as people die struggling for breath daily”
.
Blast these headlines every day- people should be outraged that you can only get the life saving drugs IF you belong to a trial in NY, and only 1000 people can get it there!
.
Keep blasting these headlines until the people in those liberal states start getting angry enough to protest- Withholding what is for right now at least, our best chance at survival is outrageous- immoral- at best, criminal at worst!

Another anti-Trump weapon that will spew non stop Democrat propaganda.

Sounds like she intends to find a friendly court to overturn President Trump’s signing statement... trying to foment a Constitutional crisis.

How cute. The children are home in the playroom playing “house” and “doctor”. Meanwhile the grown-ups are busy.

The committee mission statement: to exploit the crises for rat donors and insure permanent power.

Pelosi?
House Committee to oversee coronavirus response?
Hope she enlists at least 50 members. That way they can add the IQs of all and hopefully get to three digits.
Bwahahahahahahahahah!
No matter how low you set the bar in your regard for her intellect, she’ll effortlessly go beneath it.

It doesn’t just guarantee Trump the win....every Democrat on this committee is putting himself at risk in his district. Trump can design a district ad to only pick on that one single guy and really hurt his appearances to that district.

If I were a Democratic House member....this would be the last committee that I would ask for a seat.

Sure. And here we see Pelosi’s blue-ribbon panel.

Wow! Sometimes that's all you can say is Wow. After she tried to hold the country hostage to get her version of the anti-virus bill passed that was packed to the point of exploding with waste, fraud, abuse, price-gouging, profiteering and political favoritism, she has the nerve to say she wants to stop it? Just Wow!

Pelosi: speaking power against truth for decades.

So the Russian Hoax fizzled, the Mueller report came up empty, and the Impeachment trial hit a brick wall. Nancy just doesn’t get it. They are going to be real sore losers in November..if there is an election, and if there is a country.
