WH science office listed "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" one of Trump's accomplishments

CNN host presses Trump spokesman: 'Do you think the pandemic has ended?'

CNN host Alisyn Camerota pressed Trump campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley on Wednesday over the coronavirus, a day after the White House science office listed "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" as one of President Trump's accomplishments. In an interview on CNN’s "New Day," Camerota pressed Gidley on the White House assertion.

“Hogan, I’m just talking about the language here,” Camerota said. “Why does it say as a top accomplishment 'ending the COVID-19 pandemic'? Do you think it has ended?”

Gidley, who previously worked at the White House before joining the Trump campaign, responded by saying he didn’t write the document, and that the president has not been saying the pandemic is over.

Camerota then pressed him on whether the White House document is erroneous because it uses the word “ending.”

“I’m not looking at the document. I don’t know what the document says or how it characterizes the word ‘ending,’ but I’m not going to quibble over semantics,” Gidley said. “The fact is, we’re moving in the right direction.”
