Trump Just Used His Memorial Day Speech to Veterans to Falsely Smear Nancy Pelosi, and the Lies Just Kept Coming

Trump Just Used His Memorial Day Speech to Veterans to Falsely Smear Nancy Pelosi, and the Lies Just Kept Coming
Fox News

President Donald Trump attempted to honor fallen veterans and prisoners of war.

For most Presidents, expressing gratitude for veterans and reverence for the loss of those who died serving the United States is one of the most somber aspects of the job.


For Trump—as he demonstrated—it was yet another chance to rail against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other so-called enemies who dared critique him.

Watch below.

The President said:

"She's dancing in the streets of Chinatown trying to say, 'It's okay to come to the United States, it's fine, it's wonderful, come on in. Bring your infection with you.' Then she said, 'He should've done it earlier' about me. These people are sick."

This was a lie. The House Speaker didn't "dance in the streets" when she visited San Francisco's Chinatown, but went there to tell tourists that there was no reason to fear Chinese people due to the virus. This was only necessary because of rhetoric like Donald Trump's insistence on calling it "Chinese Virus," which led to a documented rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this wasn't Trump's only lie—as CNN fact checker Daniel Dale noted:


Trump once again took credit for the Veterans Choice Act, signed by Obama, which expanded healthcare options for United States veterans. He attempted to blame Obama for the ventilator shortage he insisted didn't actually exist.

Lies, lies, and more lies.




His false anecdote about Pelosi received particular backlash.



If you're tired of the lies, you must vote in November. Are you registered?

Mom Stunned After Job Refuses To Let Her Call Out Of Work To Take Care Of Her Sick Kids

We can all agree that when we take on a role in a workplace, we should be expected to perform our duties, show up on time, not abuse the time off policy, and generally make good contributions as a member of that company. Those are all reasonable things to expect of an employee who is being paid.

But we are all human, and sometimes things come up that are out of our control.
