Pelosi calls Trump public mask wearing 'an admission' that it can stop spread of coronavirus
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said President Donald Trump has "crossed a bridge" on mask wearing, calling his action while on a Saturday visit to wounded service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center "an admission" that mask wearing can help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Posted — Updated"I'm so glad that he obeyed the rules of the Walter Reed. You can't go see our veterans who are there without wearing a mask. Now, he's crossed a bridge," Pelosi told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of The Union." "That's an admission that if you're going to see our soldiers, you have to wear a mask. If you're going to be with our children, you have to wear a mask. If we want to stop the spread of the coronavirus, you have to wear a mask."
The California Democrat continued, "So hopefully by his example, he will change his attitude, which will be helpful in stopping the spread of the coronavirus."
