Top White House aide's interview goes haywire over Trump coronavirus remarks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An interview with top White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Sunday went off the rails after he was pressed about revelations last week that President Donald Trump intentionally downplayed coronavirus in the early months of the pandemic.

Clashing with host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union," Navarro's interview cut out as the two men began shouting over one another.

Tapper confronted Navarro about Trump's tape-recorded comments in journalist Bob Woodward's new book, "Rage," set to be released this week. In it, Trump told Woodward in a Feb. 7 phone call that coronavirus "is deadly stuff" and worse than the flu. After that conversation, though, Trump publicly downplayed the virus and repeatedly compared it to the flu.

"In February nobody knew," Navarro said of the novel coronavirus' potential impact, despite Trump's comments to Woodward, which were taped. "No, nobody knew. Not the president, not you, not Nancy Pelosi, not Bill de Blasio."

1. I thought the story would be about..

Tapper and Navarro. Instead it's like how many ways can you describe the words Trump said on tape.

2. "Nobody knew...."

I knew about it since at least December, as did a lot of other people I know. But, gaslighter's gotta gaslight.

3. Navarro is a POS. You cannot interview the scum because he constantly interrupts, and talks over

the interviewer
