Warren hits Trump: He's trying to turn a health crisis into 'a political rally for himself'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.):
"He (Trump) has failed abysmally in that and he has also failed just in the notion of what he's telling people. Saying liberate free Michigan, Virginia. Encouraging people to come out and trying to turn this health crisis into a political rally for himself," Warren told MSNBC's Joy Reid on her show.
Warren added: "That is absolutely the wrong kind of leadership. It is the kind of leadership that puts lives at risk, and it is the kind of leadership that undermines the very strength of this country.
Warren pivoted, saying that Trump's shortcomings during the pandemic highlight why the country needs former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. "Right now we have a president of the United States who thinks only about himself, who has no empathy for other human beings. Joe Biden is a man who cares about others," the Massachusetts senator said.
"I want a man with a good heart making that decision and pulling people into that decision," she added. "Thats why I support Joe Biden and thats why Im glad to say it every chance I get.
