Nancy Pelosi discusses the pushback on state COVID-19 restrictions on 'Fox News Sunday.'
In her first interview on "Fox News Sunday" since 2017, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke to anchor Chris Wallace about the coronavirus pandemic and its effect on Americans.
"People are taking to the streets, pushing back against some of the more stringent restrictions in some states," Wallace said during the interview, which is set to air Sunday on Fox News Channel. "Can you understand why they're doing that?"
Pelosi responded: "No, not, not really because what we have to do is, is, is shelter in place. That is really the answer."

"Testing. Tracing. Treatment. Shelter in place. And I do think that it's unfortunate," Pelosi told Wallace. "But, you know, people will do what they do. But the fact is, we're all impatient. We all want out. But what they're doing is really unfortunate."
