This. This. This.@GerryConnolly brilliantly calls out Republicans, who've tried to claim that DEMOCRATS are politicizing the outbreak, while Trump is literally showing up to press conferences in campaign merch.
Listen to every second of this.

(9,426 posts)truth. I am amazed tRump did not require them all standing with him to wear his Magat hats, too. He called the gov. of Washington "a snake". Well, tRump could walk under a snake's belly, wearing a top hat, he is such a low life. I guess the made in China tRump campaign stuff gets through without tariffs, eh?

(628 posts)Because Washington used a research study to get around the political hackery of the testing rules to figure out where the hotspots were.
Wish the GOP and all of their keystone coppery would get out of the way and let the expert public servants do their jobs.

(38,427 posts)This is clear, simple, and truthful. The liar is Donald Trump. But more important, this is total truth, and brilliantly presented. Who doesn't have 2 minutes to listen and watch something this important? Everyone has 2 minutes to listen or hear this. This is the perfect response to Trump & the Republicans..2 minutes and 5 seconds. Pass that on.

(25,980 posts)Too many in the GOP have seen this as just another golden opportunity to make hay politically. It's obscene, and I wholeheartedly applaud Connolly for ripping them all a new one they so vastly deserve.

(3,174 posts)And fining them for the use of public funds to promulgate their campaign?
I would think at least 90% of the cost should be billed to the re-election campaign.

Thank you for the post. Glad to see the Democrats are not going to sit back and take the GOP gaslighting.

when comrade donnie said democrats & the media are trying to make the virus seem worse than it is, I thought, how could anyone make it seem worse? It's pretty bad already!
During the ebola crisis, people were freaking out about that & we only had about 3 or 4 cases nationwide! In this crisis, we have over 3000 cases & apparently no one in the WH seems too concerned about it!
bravo, Rep Connolly!!!
