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 CNNs "New Day," Camerota pressed Gidley on the White House assertion.
Hogan, Im 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 didnt 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.
Im not looking at the document. I dont know what the document says or how it characterizes the word ending, but Im not going to quibble over semantics, Gidley said. The fact is, were moving in the right direction.
