Pence denies Trump's downplaying hampered COVID-19 response

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President Pence on Thursday denied that the country's response to the coronavirus was in any way hampered by President Trump repeatedly downplaying the threat from the deadly disease.

"Absolutely not," Pence said on Fox News when asked if Trump's public dismissiveness of the virus limited the ability of the U.S. to contain the pandemic.

"His tone was one of projecting calm and confidence," Pence said. "But I heard him at that podium, I heard him at every setting. We gave the American people the facts."

The remarks come as the White House grapples with the fallout of audio recordings of the president privately acknowledging the threat of COVID-19 as he publicly downplayed it. The recordings were part of numerous interviews Trump gave to veteran journalist Bob Woodward for an upcoming book.

3. "I heard him at that podium. We gave the American people the facts."

Facts like: "Bleach can cure you. It's like the flu. It gives kids a few sniffles. Take off your mask. Joe Biden looks stupid in that mask. It will go in April."
