The Speaker's comments come as the country reports more than 40,000 coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi branded President Donald Trump"cowardly" for not wanting to wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
"In fact, the reason the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn't made it mandatory is because they don't want to embarrass the president, or insult the president, whatever it is," she continued. The Food and Drug Administration withdrew the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the virus earlier this month.
Any venue Trump enters is reportedly inspected for contagion by medical and security teams beforehand and bathrooms he goes into are deep-cleaned and sanitized, the broadcaster reported. Multiple Trump campaign staffers, secret service members, and a journalist who all attended the president rally in Tulsa also tested positive for COVID-19 this week and are now self-quarantining.
