“Why aren’t we going to get the pandemic under control?” Mr. Tapper asked, to which Mr. Meadows replied, “Because it’s a contagious virus, just like the flu”.
The White House “felt from the start that it could not control the virus. This is the only way to explain the denials and the lies. If you thought you could control it, you would have tried to do it; but like you don’t think so, you lie and you deny and you minimize. They surrendered without even firing a shot. It was the great American surrender, “Cuomo said.
