What's the background?

After two weeks of negotiations, the White House and Democrats failed to agree on a second COVID-related economic relief bill. The president responded on Saturday by signing executive orders providing Americans with temporary relief.

The executive action included a $400 supplemental unemployment stipend, deferred payroll taxes for certain Americas, extended the federal eviction moratorium, and further deferred student loans payments.
As TheBlaze reported, Democrats responded by threatening to take legal action against the president, who said he only acted because Democrats had brought unreasonable demands to the negotiation table.
What happened on Fox News?

During a lengthy interview with Wallace, Pelosi claimed that Trump's action merely provides the "illusion" of assistance.

But Wallace called her out, noting that Democrats' failure to compromise meant that Americans will not receive any of the help that they need.
