Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) is calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to issue an apology for her comments following President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis, accusing her of “victim blaming.”
Following the announcement early Friday that Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, Pelosi wished the president a safe recovery but noted that he has repeatedly been seen at events without a mask. She said he could have taken additional precautions to avoid contracting the virus.
"We all received that news with great sadness. I always pray for the president and his family that they're safe," she said during an appearance on MSNBC on Friday.
