Tim Murtaugh, trump communication director was on CNN, and was asked why trump asked to slow [View all]

down testing

Murtaugh replied he was kidding, but CNN has no sense of humor, to which CNN asked, do you think 120 thousand deaths is something to joke about?

Needless to say Murtaugh would not answer the question, and keep saying CNN doesn’t have a sense of humor

These jackasses are truly evil

Incidentally, trump himself did not deny asking for testing to be slowed down
