FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn on Sunday wouldn’t push back on President Trump’s baseless claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are “totally harmless” during a Fourth of July event at the White House South Lawn.
Trump official won’t comment on Trump’s claim that the moon is made of green cheese, “It’s too early to tell.”
Coward. People are dying because of cowards like Hahn.
This isn’t weaponizing smallpox via blankets. This isn’t going to turn out the way they fantasize. And their own mental sickness will not go away no matter how many black, brown, poor and prisoners die off from COVID-19. They are lost with no moral center. What good are they to the human race?
The stupidity of sycophancy of people in high places. The danger of sycophancy of people in high places. The cowardice of sycophancy of people in high places. Trumpism must die, not Americans from Covid-19.
Authoritarianism. Plain and Simple.
The harm this sycophant is doing cannot be overstated. Hopefully, the only people believing him will be the Trump Cult, but, unfortunately, that may not be the case.
And now, the piece de la résistance:

DANA BASH: You criticized Obama for ‘failed leadership’ when 2 people in the US died from Ebola. Nearly 130,000 are dead from coronavirus. So is Trump showing failed leadership?
@SenJoniErnst
: “No. I think that the president is stepping forward.”
Pressed again on Trump’s false claim, Hahn responded that he’s “not going to get into who is right and who is wrong.”
Fuck you, you know Trump is wrong, that he is causing 10,000’s of unnecessary deaths, and you are complicit in this disaster. What a worthless coward.
Edit – Hahn is worse than worthless.
~40% of the electorate is solidly behind him.
And they’ll be there, well after Trump is gone.
The problem won’t just die. And somehow we’ll have to deal with it.
My hope is that some day this man (and all the others who have supported trump) will realize what he has done, and be forever tormented by his guilt. Probably won’t happen, though.
I feel the same way but I think that the main requirement for working for and supporting is the lack of a conscience, so don’t hold your breath.
Not going to get into who’s right and wrong?! Sounds like Chucktodd’s running the FDA. since he also thinks combating dangerous GOP lies isn’t his job.
…but unfortunately the Trump Cult are also our neighbors and coworkers, and sometimes even our relatives.
If you know some of the folks I know, you would know Trumpism will never die.
What we must hope for is they become looked upon as the idiots they are and crawl back into their caves.
Susan Rice. Not only would she make a fine VP, but her selection would give the QAnon groupies and the House GOP apoplexy.
(On MTP) SUSAN RICE: “We have a president who is doing our arch adversary’s bidding, it would seem, and he’s surrounded by sycophants and weaklings who aren’t doing their jobs.”
Obama only managed to kill two people with a scary disease. It takes a real leader like Trump to show us how it’s done.
STOP enabling Trump/Germ-Over-People Party because his/your lies and quackery is deadly to Americans = 129k+ Covid deaths is NOT harmless! Remember your Hippocratic oath!
Criminal negligence is thy name Hann!
Addendum:
Meanwhile…
Another Germ-Over-People Party and Trump Enabler McCarty, who guilty of misprision of treason (18 USC 2382) - “There are two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump” - is accusing Dems of not believing in America.
Spineless people. Here is another one. Cold blooded too. She doesn’t flinch in the video while delivering her deflection and finally her response to the actual question.

Judging by the surge of comments, this is a Big Deal.
A REALLY Big Deal. As it should be. What this is is a rogue “president” who is an absolutely insane homicidal maniac, and a rogue “political party” which supports him.
This cannot stand if we are to continue as a functioning society. Hundreds of thousands can needlessly die because the responses of Ernst and Hahn.
If we do not define and react to this insanity, People Will Die.
These people were here before Trump, he just gave them the shove they needed to come out in the open. Hopefully, a lot of them will crawl back under their rocks and stay there or maybe COVID-19 will remove enough of them to make a difference since they don’t feel the need to protect themselves and those around them. Shunning them is about all we can do and that is a very good idea especially now that the virus has found that demographic.
