Sarah Sanders on Protests: Americans Want Out-of-Touch Politicians Like Pelosi to Pay Attention

‘At the end of the day, Congress gets paid whether they show up to work or not’

EXCERPT:

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "Look, there’s nobody who wants to reopen the government more than President Trump. He wants to see people getting back to work. He’s a businessman at heart and he wants businesses in this country to be able to open, to be able to thrive. At the same time he’s maintained social distancing guidelines and I think people need to take those seriously. I think at the end of the day millions of Americans are, frankly, frustrated. They are watching liberal politicians like Nancy Pelosi go on TV and — and on social media parading around flashing their 13-dollar-a-pint ice cream in their faces when they don’t have $13 to feed their families. There’s no doubt that they are frustrated as a lot of the people that depend on small businesses are angry that they are not opening back up and their federal government is delaying more funding that we are seeing from Pelosi and the Democrats just over the last couple of weeks. And as we saw Kevin McCarthy talking about earlier, people are getting angry, they are getting upset and they want people, out-of-touch politicians like Nancy Pelosi to start paying attention to the real needs that they have and helping them step up and meet those. At the end of the day, Congress gets paid whether they show up to work or not and they don’t understand sometimes that people that have to show up in order to get a paycheck and can’t are frustrated."
