Tammy Duckworth: Trump more focused on dead confederate traitors than Russian bounties or covid-19

Tammy Duckworth Blasts Trump’s 4th of July Speeches: ‘Spent All His Time’ on ‘Dead Traitors’ Instead of Russian Bounties, Coronavirus

Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) slammed President Donald Trump for using his 4th of July to go after his political enemies instead of doing more to address America’s most pressing concerns.

<...>

As Bash asked Duckworth to elaborate her stance over the statue debate, the senator called for “a national dialogue” on the matter, but she also described the topic as a distraction from more important issues. Duckworth explained that Trump “spent more time worried about honoring dead Confederates” when that time could’ve been used to honor those who’ve died from the coronavirus, or address the allegations that Russia is putting bounties on America’s servicemen.

“His priorities are all wrong here,” Duckworth said. “He should be talking about what we’re going to do to overcome the pandemic and what are we going to do to push Russia back. Instead, he had no time for that. He spent all the time talking about dead traitors.”
