Nancy Pelosi emphasized that the controversies surrounding President Trump's administration, particularly the Epstein case, serve as distractions from more pressing issues at hand, such as the budget cuts affecting resources for the poor. She criticized the conversation surrounding Trump's actions and suggested they detract from the important legislative activities occurring in Congress. Pelosi argued that the focus should be on serious issues threatening the well-being of American families, rather than on scandals. Both the Epstein controversy and other political stunts were labeled as off-topic distractions from larger national concerns.
This is a distraction. We have major issues right here with things we're voting on today in the Congress, again, in terms of the rescission that the president and Senate have sent back over us to cut all of these resources out of helping poor people throughout the world, to be America play its leadership role in soft power to keep us safe, and to keep us healthy.
Instead we're talking about him-, about this thing and his own base has its own views of what the president should do. I'll leave it up to them to talk it out.
Whether it's Jeffrey Epstein or Alcatraz, it's all off the subject of what they're doing with this budget that is harmful to the kitchen table, meeting the kitchen-table needs of the American people.
I think that they're both distractions... changing the character and the culture of America by undermining-, by placing huge, trillions of dollars of national debt on the, for future generations to carry forward at the expense of the health, nutrition, education of the American people.
