'Pathetic!': Trump Blasts COVID Adviser Birx for issuing gloom C19 outlook

'Pathetic!': Trump Blasts COVID Adviser Birx
President accuses her of caving to pressure, issuing gloomy coronavirus outlook

President Trump isn't shy about expressing displeasure with Dr. Anthony Fauci, and on Monday he slammed fellow COVID adviser Dr. Deborah Birx for the first time, reports Axios.

Trump's criticism came after Birx issued a dire coronavirus outlook for the US, saying the disease was in a "new phase" and was now more widespread than it was in March or April.

The president accused Birx of caving to pressure from Nancy Pelosi, who'd earlier criticized Birx for going along with the president too much and painting too rosy of a picture.

"So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics," Trump wrote. "In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!"

I've learned a lot about her from colleagues of hers from years and in some cases decades past. Let's just say I have no sympathy for her (and no respect).

is really not well. I can not believe what is happening to this once great country under his mismanagement and purposeful burning down.
