Tim Murtaugh, trump communication director was on CNN, and was asked why trump asked to slow

[still_one]

down testing

Murtaugh replied he was kidding, but CNN has no sense of humor, to which CNN asked, do you think 120 thousand deaths is something to joke about?

Needless to say Murtaugh would not answer the question, and keep saying CNN doesn’t have a sense of humor

These jackasses are truly evil

Incidentally, trump himself did not deny asking for testing to be slowed down

1. Non-sociopaths have no sense of humor

when it comes to 120,000 deaths.

[Orrex]

2. Would Murtaugh find it funny if some stupid fuckhead joked about assassination?

It's just a joke, after all.

[SoonerPride]

5. I know NSA loves it if you joke about blowing up airplanes while at the airport

They think it is a laugh riot!

Try out the comedy routine next time you go to an airport.

The hilarity!

[ProfessorGAC]

11. I'll Have To Try That!!!

Well, maybe not!

[Orangepeel]

12. ask Kathy Griffin (nt)

[Orrex]

23. Excellent answer.

[Andy823]

3. The joke is

the people who are defending trump, and who are in positions of power in the WH. In my life time I have never seen such incompetence as trump and his whole administration.

[leftieNanner]

9. Because he gets rid of anyone who IS competent.

He sees them as a threat to his Magnificence.

4. Very happy to hear about this exchange!

When I first heard the “oh he was just joking” excuse being trotted out I was really hoping somebody would nail whoever was trying that. Especially since it’s obviously such bs.

Now, if anyone can link to a video of that exchange I would love to see it!

6. Fauci should resign in protest

along with the Surgeon General and Scarfie

[Botany]

7. And here's the punch line

21. Their improv routine

is really killing us

[kentuck]

8. Because It's worse than we see...

If there were more tests, it would not look good for Trump?

[ArizonaLib]

10. The count could get up to 6 million

and they would not take it seriously.

[KS Toronado]

13. I've lost count how many times someone in the WH has had to say "He was Joking"

while explaining Der Fuhrer's jokes, maybe he should learn how to tell one.

[tiptonic]

14. Testing

Did he have his own testing 'slowed down'? I bet not.

[crickets]

19. +1000000

[LiberalFighter]

15. Murtaugh was lying of course.

[samsingh]

16. and pretty sure trump asked for this to happen

[fierywoman]

17. And yet, have we ever seen tRump actually laugh? I mean REALLY laugh.

[Grokenstein]

18. I have to admit...

...I'm gonna laugh my ass off and celebrate whenever one of these trumpkin bastards die.

[still_one]

22. Thanks for the video. More trump pre campaign Oklahoma personal have tested positive

for covid

If only they hadn't been tested they would have never got covid

[Chicagogrl1]

20. Testing...

Cramps their style! They want to go out & have rallies & play lots of golf. This whole death thing is really getting in the way of the fun!
