Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now. [View all]
3:38pm eastern time Monday on MSNBC
They were discussing job creation and Tur defended Trumps job losses because of Covid
Nancy said “if you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, maybe that’s your role here”.
Tur said “I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of that”.
I laughed out loud.

grabbed the remote, turned on msnbc getting TV ready for Nicolle, heard Turd interrupt Nancy twice in a row, turned the channel to Ancient Aliens.
I don't put myself through that shit. Katy Tur doesn't know if she is punched or bored.

Finally, the 15th Reply actually quoted what fact Tur dared to point out that earned Pelosi's ire:

Pelosi is animated today.
PELOSI: Trump has the worst record of jobs loss of any president
KATY TUR: There was a global pandemic
PELOSI: He had the worst record of any president. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that may be your role

there wouldn't have been such drastic job losses. It's all on him.

"Bungled? How? Be specific. What did Trump not do that he should have?

DUmmie ChuckyLarms is lying about the state of the economy pre-Covid. Maybe (s)he should have looked at a graph of US unemployment before saying something so stupidly false. Someone dared to call out his/her stupidity/lie:

before the pandemic. The U.S. lost 50,000 jobs that month. The U.S. would go on to add 2 million jobs in 2019, but that was the lowest annual growth since 2010.
And then the novel coronavirus struck. In two months, March and April 2020, the U.S. economy lost a staggering 22.4 million jobs.
Most of those jobs (56%) would return before Trump left office. But he ended his presidency with an economy that had 2.9 million fewer jobs than when he started — becoming the first president in modern times to experience a net loss of jobs over his time in office, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has monthly employment figures dating to 1939.

Amazing. Imagine calling 56 percent of anything "most" of it.
Keep 56 percent of your paycheck and you keep 'most' of it?
A massive explosion happens in a neighborhood, and 44 percent of those in the neighborhood are killed, and that means 'most' survived?
Unreal.
ADsOutburst:
So did Pelosi give any good answers, or is this DU thread just to celebrate her "slamming" a dissenter?
EDIT: I just watched the clip. If anything, it was the other way around; Tur staggered Pelosi with that point.

The TL;DR version of the segment is that Pelosi had been hot-airing about Trump having lost millions of jobs during his Presidency. Then Tur kind of quietly, almost hesitantly, dropped the truth bomb that there had been a pandemic. That contextual truth that exposed Pelosi's deception-by-omission is why Pelosi called Tur a "Trump Apologist".
It would be interesting to see graphs of unemployment for blue states that shut down hard and long vs. red states that shut down briefly if at all. Painting with a broad brush, I would expect the latter to have suffered fewer losses (percentages, not pure numbers, of course) and to have recovered more quickly.
