House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took some heat for showing off her freezer packed with ice cream during the coronavirus crisis.

The California Democrat joined comedian James Corden on his late-night show Monday and showed off how much ice cream is in her freezer in addition to wondering how Trump’s base could still support him after his response to the pandemic.

"I don't know what I would've done if ice cream were not invented," she said via video conference from her home.

After the interview, she followed up in a tweet, writing: "We all have found our ways to keep our spirits up during these trying times. Mine just happens to fill up my freezer."

Many Twitter users reacted negatively to the interview, suggesting it was tone-deaf in light of many people struggling financially during quarantine measures.

“While Nancy Pelosi sits in her ivory tower in San Francisco, eating $13 dollar a pint ice cream out of her $24,000 fridge, she is cheering on Democrats for blocking coronavirus relief aid that has so far been distributed to 1.3 million small businesses that is about to run out,” the Republican National Committee’s rapid response director, Steve Guest, tweeted.
