   ABC's Meghan McCain said Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) fell   
   into a trap   
   by doing a late-night TV interview that included a discussion   
   about a   
   stockpile of ice cream in her kitchen freezer.   
      
   "The View" host on Tuesday called an ad from the Trump campaign   
   mocking   
   the moment "a kill shot," and advised Pelosi to avoid comedy   
   shows amid a   
   pandemic.   
      
   Pelosi talked about gourmet ice cream "you can get through the   
   mail" while   
   sitting in front of a large refrigerator while being interviewed   
   by CBS   
   "Late Late Show" host James Corden last week. Pelosi also   
   discussed the   
   Paycheck Protection Program, a small business lending program   
   set up to   
   help firms get through the coronavirus pandemic. Legislation to   
   provide   
   more money for the program was stalled on Capitol Hill at the   
   time.   
      
   McCain said Pelosi had fallen into a trap during the appearance   
   given the   
   economic hardships people are facing in the country. More than   
   22 million   
   people have filed for unemployment benefits over the past three   
   weeks.   
      
   “They’re traps,” McCain said of late-night shows for politicians.   
   “They get you to say things there because you feel you’re being   
   funny.   
   Leave it to the professionals and don’t go on comedy shows. Come   
   on our   
   show.”   
      
   Co-host Joy Behar said the incident with Pelosi wasn't a big   
   deal.   
      
   “OK, it doesn’t look good maybe, she’s got an expensive   
   refrigerator.   
   Let’s go to Trump Tower and see what kind of refrigerator he   
   has," Behar   
   said of the Trump ad, which she deemed a distraction.   
      
   “I thought it was a kill shot," McCain responded.   
      
   "It’s not the ice cream in her fridge. It’s the fact that she’s   
   standing behind giant refrigerators, multiple ones that cost   
   $24,000 each,   
   and you’re right, Joy, politicians are wealthy, Trump is   
   wealthy, but I   
   think in this specific moment, optics are narratives,” she added.
