Mark Penn: 60 Percent Think Pelosi Is Acting out of Partisan Motives During Coronavirus Crisis

EXCERPT:

PENN: "Well, I think Democrats here are walking really a very fine line. And in the latest Harris poll that we did, it shows very conclusively that 60% think that Nancy Pelosi is acting out of partisan motives during this crisis. Now, no politician gets off. Overall, two-thirds says everybody is acting too partisan, because I think when Trump goes tit for tat, then he looks like he’s partisan too. But he’s seen as less partisan in the poll, and Democrats and Pelosi are very, very unusual for any crisis, for any political figure to want to be seen anywhere near partisanship. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I think Democrats should take the warning out of — out of the poll and come together because that’s really what the American people want."
