<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she hopes President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;heart will be opened&#8221; in response COVID-19 diagnosis over the weekend.</p>
<p class="speakable">&#8220;Prayers are with the president and the first lady,&#8221; Pelosi said on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; this past Sunday. &#8220;I hope it really will be a signal that we have to do better in preventing the spread of this virus.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi emphasized that she hoped the virus will have an impact on Trump&#8217;s &#8220;coming to the table with us and doing what we have to crush the virus, listen to science, have the public-private role that needs to be done to crush the virus.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So hopefully, prayerfully &#8230; I pray that in addition to his health that the president&#8217;s heart will be opened to the millions of people who have been affected, hundreds of thousands of families who&#8217;ve suffered a death,&#8221; she added, as reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-cbs-face-the-nation-trump-coronavirus">Fox News</a>.</p>
<p>Pelosi went on to further accuse Republicans of being anti-science and not caring enough about how the virus has affected poor communities.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now [the virus has] even run free in the White House. Think of how it is in a poor neighborhood where the president is insisting that children actually go back to school in order to get the funding,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The Republicans in Congress and this president have been anti-science &#8230; So if science says you should be testing, tracing, treating, mask-wearing, sanitation, separation and the rest, and you don&#8217;t believe in science &#8230; then you have more deaths, more spread of the virus &#8230; They don&#8217;t believe in science and they don&#8217;t want to do anything about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that Pelosi&#8217;s comments were &#8220;rather disgusting&#8221; and completely out of place.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rather disgusting. We&#8217;ve watched Speaker Pelosi say this before, that we&#8217;re enemies of the state. This is uncalled for, especially in this time and place,” said McCarthy on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember, other nations are watching America,&#8221; McCarthy continued. &#8220;This is the one time we could unite together. I listen to the president&#8217;s voice, none of those type of languages to anybody across. One thing I did hear more of is how committed he&#8217;s even doubling down to make sure he lowers prescription drug prices, that he protects pre-existing conditions. He is sitting here trying to work with this speaker to get a COVID relief package together and these are the comments that she makes? It’s really unbecoming of that position.”</p>
<p>Pelosi was not the only political figure using Trump&#8217;s COVID-19 diagnosis for a moment of political grandstanding. CNN host Jake Tapper said on Sunday that it was a symbol for his presidency&#8217;s failures, while Michael Moore said that he may have faked it to gain sympathy.</p>
<p>“He’s an evil genius, and I raise the possibility of him lying about having COVID-19 to prepare us and counteract his game,” Moore said in Facebook post. “He knows being sick tends to gain one sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this.”</p>
