Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) on Wednesday slammed the Trump administration for planning to end its support for several COVID-19 testing sites around the country at the end of the month.
This really should be yelled from the rafters by every Democrat across the nation, it’s just another indication of how badly Trump and the Republicans have failed the nation…and, how they really just don’t care about the health of average Americans. There’s extensive testing for “important” Republicans, they know what’s up, which makes them cutting testing for Americans even more craven.
I assume by extensive you mean repeated testing for important Republicans? Hey maybe that’s how Republican candidates will drum up support for their campaigns? Instead of raffling off AR-15s they’ll raffle off COVID-19 tests and analysis.
Yup, dump it on the states, make them compete for supplies again. Plus it helps Mitch to say that the states are irresponsible with their money if they can’t come up with a way to pay for it.
I envy you. We have Cornyn and Cruz. Even though Texas is the most impacted state, Cruz only gave a perfunctory hrumph and Cornyn is hiding under Moscow Mitch’s desk.
A lot of the sites scheduled to be closed are in Texas. They are writing political ads for the Dems. The polls there have been showing a close race and it would be supremely ironic if this helped to tip it to the blue.
Billions in unspent Federal dollars for testing really shows the lie in the Trump administration’s supposed rationale for withdrawing Federal government support.
