No One’s Actually Angry About Ice Cream.
A response to Nancy Pelosi’s show and tell segment on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
Whether it’s the spread of the segment on social media or you happened to see it live on The Late Late Show With James Corden, many have already seen the now infamous video of Nancy Pelosi showing off her gourmet ice cream collection in her two over ten thousand dollar freezers. The video was met with immediate push back and President Trump’s campaign team was quick to incorporate it in to a devastating ad for his re-election efforts. Still, Nancy Pelosi has her defenders. Vox writer Matthew Yglesias tweeted in response to the backlash: “Are people pretending to be mad at Nancy Pelosi for liking ice cream?” Clarence Page from the Chicago Tribune also weighed in in her defense, and wrote:
Democrats also won $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for COVID-19 testing, which may well be the most needed, yet most poorly funded or supplied, aspect of the pandemic fight. Along with funds for testing, the bill mandates the Trump administration to build a strategy to help states step up the deployment of tests throughout the country.
The measure doesn’t cover all ills, by any means, but Pelosi and her party won a lot more than ice cream. Political trolling and other election…
