Showing Original Post only (View all)Anderson Cooper wasn't playing last night [View all]

Anderson Cooper performed a lengthy dissection of President Donald Trumps ongoing federal response to the coronavirus pandemic, pointing out that the White House intentionally leaked a political opp0-like hit on Dr. Anthony Fauci over the weekend while the president retweeted a bonkers conspiracy theory about the outbreak.
On Monday night, the CNN host opened his show with a in-depth look at the state of the Covid-19 pandemic and the White Houses contradictory guidance, even as the cases are skyrocketing in dozens of states. So who, exactly, is the president publicly endorsing for health advice about the pandemic, Cooper asked, after Fauci has been effectively frozen out of appearances on American TV news.
Admiral [Brett] Giroir, hes being allowed to appear on television and threw Dr. Fauci under the bus very quickly, Cooper remarked. Remember, this admiral not a Navy admiral, a public health admiral who gets a wear a uniform, he was the one supposedly the testing czar in charge of the diagnostic testing. Well, weve all seen how well that is going.
