Mike Pence said that there has been "irresponsible rhetoric" from people who have downplayed the seriousness of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/pence-says-there-s-been-irresponsible-rhetoric-people-downplaying-coronavirus-n1156371 …

The moment the number of coronavirus cases in the US tops the Dow will forever be known as the Trump Curve.

The president sent Kayleigh McEnany, the press secretary for his 2020 reelection campaign, to speak on his behalf to Stuart Varney on Fox Business today and inevitably the topic of the coronavirus pandemic that’s been roiling the global economy was front and center in their discussion.

Varney asked McEnany about the recommendation made by the federal government’s top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, that the public should avoid large gatherings of people, a recommendation that has resulted in the cancelation of conventions and music festivals across the country and the playing of NBA games to completely empty arenas.

It was a particularly pertinent question less than 24 hours after the president announced that he would proceed with another one of his ego-stroking campaign rallies in Milwaukee next week in the midst of a pandemic-induced national hysteria, but the press secretary treated it as just another opportunity to score political points against Trump’s leading Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

“Look, we have the commander-in-chief, we have the best health experts,” McEnany gaslighted the audience. “We’re taking this day by day. We’re currently proceeding as normal.”

...

“Look, the president is the best authority on this issue,” McEnany responded obsequiously. “He takes into consult the words of everyone around him.”
“So, I’ll leave it to the president,” she continued.
