What did Joe Scar tell Schumer about Richard Burr this morning regarding coronavirus?

[OrlandoDem2]

I’m waking up watching Joe bleary-eyed. It seems like Joe said that there’s a tape of Richard Burr felling constituents not to travel to Europe 3 weeks ago. Basically Joe was wondering out loud how the Trump admin was caught off guard if someone like Burr was giving warnings weeks ago.

11. Well, no one believes the Repubs didn't know everything THEY did.

If we knew it, the criminals who've taken over DC of course did, and more.

The most rabid trumpster we're acquainted with knows they've been lying from the beginning, though that didn't keep him from indulging his usual pleasures by telling my liberal Jew husband the pandemic is Obama's doing. He knows that isn't true either, but truth isn't the point.

23. I've been working on that,

but my footprint on social media is miniscule. I've already posted twice to fb and once to twitter.

6. Trump should have taken action in January.

It was clear what was going on then. But he just called it a hoax. Gross incompetence.

15. CNBC Cramer & Faber said they think people are more worried about the economy

'not to minimize' the corona virus.

27. These stock market masturbators just can't see

These stock market masturbators just can’t see anything but their tickers. I mean it couldn’t be that people are so concerned about the virus that it is affecting the economy could it?

the health of the people.

[mountain grammy]

20. the lack of testing is appalling..

In my opinion, criminal. But, that's what we get with a criminal president.

[barbtries]
