And now this ..................

Trump's press secretary claims 'not a single American died' from ventilator shortage

By Dan Desai Martin -April 30, 2020 5:35 PM

Newly appointed White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany described Trump's slow response to the virus as a 'success.'

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday tried to create a new measure of success for the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus crisis that has resulted in more than 61,0000 deaths.

McEnany told reporters during a press gaggle that "the success story is that this administration mobilized the greatest efforts since WWII that we provided something like 4,000 ventilators to New York."

"Not a single American died in this country for lack of a ventilator," she claimed. "I would call that response a success."

McEnany was responding to a question about Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who on Tuesday described Trump's response to the crisis as "a great success story."

screw access. They should stand and say how dare you lie to the public when over 60k people died so far. They are countless reports of lack of ventilators .
