Wednesday on MSNBC, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand declared that President Trump is “not fully understanding the depth” of the coronavirus crisis.
“The president is being irresponsible and is not fully understanding the depth of this crisis,” Gillibrand claimed. “The coronavirus has been in the United States, some estimate, for two months. That means it’s been in every community around this country…
“This is a time we should be on war footing. This is a time everyone in the country has to sacrifice to do everything necessary to defeat COVID-19… Trump is not being realistic, and he’s really, I think, being absurd. This will take a long time. All states will be affected. If we do it right, if we increase testing so everybody can get a drive-through test or test at their community health center, we’ll know what we’re up against, and we’ll have the right response to meet that need.”
And while failed presidential candidates like Gillibrand exploit the pandemic to snipe at Trump, he is actually taking action to get America through this.
