As many out there suffered with no income, or a lack of food, or relief coming to help them, Nancy Pelosi held firm for no other reason than it may have helped Trump.
And right off the bat when being interviewed, as to whether or not she's willing to compromise:
“No, I am,” Pelosi insisted. “I’ll compromise. We wanna get the job done. I’m not– I’m– mischaracterized by the Republicans that way. But that’s a tactic that they use. But we know we want results for the American people.”
She is SO full of shit. She only wants to get the job done when it's in her favor or to the advantage of the democrats. She will rarely, if ever, meet halfway. The mischaracterization crap is just that, crap. A tactic? My ass again. There's not even a tactic involved of any kind. Fact is, no deal got done for quite some time as she herself held it back and wouldn't compromise. And then after Biden won the election, everything suddenly changes - and her own words were:
"I’m going to tell you something — don’t characterize what we did before as a mistake, as a preface to your question if you want an answer. That was not a mistake, it was a decision, and it’s taken us to a place where we can do the right thing without other, shall we say, considerations in the legislation that we don’t want. Now, that is it. Now the fact is, I'm very proud of where we are," Pelosi said. She went on to say the reason why she wants to pass a bill now is because Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the presidential election and a number of vaccines are being produced.

‘You Held Out For Eight Months’: Lesley Stahl Calls Out Pelosi For COVID Relief Delay
CBS anchor Lesley Stahl called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for stalling on the latest COVID-19 relief package during an interview on Sunday’s “60 Minutes.”
Democrats delayed GOP efforts to negotiate a bill for months before settling on $900 trillion in December that included direct payments of $600 to Americans.
Before bringing up the topic of COVID relief, Stahl told Pelosi that she is “not known as a person who compromises.”
“No, I am,” Pelosi insisted. “I’ll compromise. We wanna get the job done. I’m not– I’m– mischaracterized by the Republicans that way. But that’s a tactic that they use. But we know we want results for the American people.”
“What about the COVID relief package?” Stahl asked. “That was held up for eight months.”
After Pelosi blamed the delay on GOP “obstruction,” Stahl asserted that it was “yours too.”
“No, it wasn’t obstruction,” said Pelosi.
“You held out for eight months,” Stahl responded.
Pelosi went on to claim that bills offered by Republicans had “no respect for our heroes, our state and local health care workers, police and fire, our first responders, our sanitation, transportation, food workers, our teachers, our teachers, our teachers. They would not go down that path.”
Stahl then referred to an anonymous Democratic lawmaker who told The Washington Post that delaying the bill made Democrats “look like obstructionists” and was “a huge mistake.”
