His feeble brain can't seem to hold more than one fact and a thousand lies at the same time.

Are all of his feeble-minded followers as dimble-witted?

Forget where I read that honest comment today from a GOP operative. It comes down to class warfare.

"We are starting to near 3,000 deceased, a horrifyingly large number," noted the chief epidemiologist at Sweden's public health agency, Anders Tegnell, at a press conference on Wednesday.

Tegnell, who has been leading the country's COVID-19 response and previously defended the nation's decision not to impose a lockdown, this week admitted he was "not convinced" the unconventional anti-lockdown strategy was the best option to take.

Anders Tegnell should probably be publicly flogged, though at least he admitted it wasn't going the way he expected. But our feckless criminal government will never admit that they fucked up even worse.
