80-year-old Pelosi confirmed during a Tuesday interview with MSNBC that she will not take the test.”In terms of my situation, I kept my distance,” Pelosi insisted.”I said to them we all have to be six feet apart and I kept my distance from all the members.”

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday she does not plan to be tested for coronavirus despite her proximity to the latest lawmaker diagnosed with the illness.

“In terms of my situation, I kept my distance. I said to them we all have to be six feet apart and I kept my distance from all the members,” Pelosi said in an interview with MSNBC.

She said her doctor told her that her situation was low-risk and she had no reason to take any measures.

U.S. Representative Nydia Velazquez, a Democrat from New York, said on Monday that she had been diagnosed with a presumed case of coronavirus after developing symptoms of the ailment on Sunday, although she had not been tested. More

Remember when President Trump initially refused to get a test after a similar meeting with infected people and how the MSM blasted him for brushing off the virus and potentially threatening the lives of others? But Nancy Pelosi receives a free pass.
