House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had a bitter exchange with "PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff Tuesday over the ongoing stalemate on Capitol Hill between lawmakers negotiating a so-called "Phase 4" coronavirus aid bill.
At one point in their interview, Woodruff asked Pelosi about the "flexibility" GOP lawmakers are showing in terms of allocating more money for state and local governments, as well as Republican arguments that "much of the money" allocated in the CARES Act "has not even been spent yet."
No, you aren't," Pelosi shot back. "The point is we have a bill that meets the needs of the American people. It's called the HEROES Act. They [Republicans] don't even want to do state and local and when they do, it's very meager and they want to revert money from before."
