Pelosi accuses MSNBC host of being 'apologist for Donald Trump'
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused MSNBC's Katy Tur of being an "apologist" for former President Trump on Monday.
During an appearance on the network, Pelosi touted President Biden's record on the economy, saying, he "created 9 million jobs in his term in office. Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president. So we just have to make sure people know."
Tur briefly interjected, telling Pelosi "there was a global pandemic," during Trump's presidency
Pelosi paused, looking shocked, before shooting back at Tur that "he had the worst record of any president. We’ve had other concerns in our country."
"If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine," she added.
Tur pressed back, saying, "I don't think anyone can accuse me of that."
MSNBC frequently draws the ire of Trump and his allies, featuring leading progressive hosts who regularly criticize the former president and his policies.
