@SenSherrodBrown
Not true, @realDonaldTrump. I wrote to you more than 600 days ago demanding answers after you fired the entire White House pandemic team

UPDATE TO ADD THIS:

Two years ago, President Trump fired the entire global health security team at the White House. Their job?

Managing pandemics.

Now we're all paying the price for President Trump's decisions.

1. This needs to go viral! n/t

[Alacritous Crier]

2. The solvent of truth....

Hopefully people's eyes will begin to open soon. Cult45 really needs to be deprogrammed. Although, I don't hold out much hope for most of them.

3. And then there is this..

15. Fantastic video montage of responsibility

Fantastic video montage of responsibility.

[renate]

4. I wonder whether he would have used the word "nasty" if the question had been asked by a man

I suspect not.

[LuvNewcastle]

20. He likes to use that word in reference to women he doesn't like.

Not only is a smug asshole, but he still has a child's vocabulary.

[flibbitygiblets]

34. Just today he learned two big words: "National Emergency"

Who knew?

[bronxiteforever]

5. K&R Sherrod Brown smart hard working public servant.

[TheRealistRealist]

6. So many Biden ads in that presser

The disbanded pandemic team officials need to speak out now. Not next week. Why do reporters let him get away with lie after lie? No pushback whatsoever from the male reporters after he called her question nasty. This makes me so angry.

[scarletwoman]

7. I wish I could rec this 100 times!

I want to see Mike Bloomberg do an ad about this!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. That "no responsibility" meme needs the date he said it and to mention Covid-19. . . . nt

[ProudProgressiveNow]

9. KR NT

[hkp11]

10. Let Dems bring this up in ads

and in conversations of coronavirus

[Lonestarblue]

11. Trump takes no responsibility for anything--but he is the only person allowed to make decisions.

Supposedly Bolton fired these people, but why and who told him to do so? The answers are most likely to lead to Trump. Bolton needs to step up to the plate and tell what he knows. I hope no one buys his book, if it ever gets printed. By the time it does get printed, we are likely to be through the election and no one will care what Bolton knows. His moment has passed.

16. "I didn't do it"

(Samuel Jackson-style):

YES YOU DID, DONALD......YES YOU DID

17. I hope he is on Rachel tonight

18. Wow. What a prescient letter. Notes a major disease outbreak "a plane ride away."

[gratuitous]

19. In case you're wondering about the context

I went to the White House transcript of Needy Amin's remarks from February 26, 2020 here:

Q Your budgets have consistently called for enormous cuts to the CDC, the NIH, and the WHO. You’ve talked a lot today about how these professionals are excellent, have been critical and necessary. Does this experience at all give you pause about those consistent cuts?

THE PRESIDENT: No, because we — we can get money and we can increase staff. We know all the people. We know all the good people. It’s a question I asked the doctors before. Some of the people we cut, they haven’t been used for many, many years. And if — if we have a need, we can get them very quickly.

And rather than spending the money — and I’m a business person — I don’t like having thousands of people around when you don’t need them. When we need them, we can get them back very quickly. For instance, we’re bringing some people in tomorrow that are already in this, you know, great government that we have, and very specifically for this.

We can build up very, very quickly. And we’ve already done that. I mean, we really have built up. We have a great staff. And using Mike, I’m doing that because he’s in the administration and he’s very good at doing what he does, and doing as it relates to this.

He was certainly singing a different tune today, wasn't he?

[Scarsdale]

22. He has Jarrod working on this.

Jarrod is looking at videos and reading articles then will submit a report to tRump. Doctors? Who needs doctors?

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Sherrod would make a great President. I wish he had run.

[LisaL]

25. Me too.

[dhill926]

30. yes indeed....

I was kind of surprised he didn't. And we would have got an awesome FLOTUS as well....

[questionseverything]

32. i think he would make a solid vp

[blueinredohio]

23. That's my senator that were proud of. He's close to the only hope we have here.

There may be a few congressmen but not a lot. I love Sherrod Brown.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. the Grotesque Orange Pustule has infected our government

We need to disinfect on November 3rd to rid ourselves of the GOP disease.

[Thomas Hurt]

26. This is something right up Bloomberg's alley, time for an ad.

[napi21]

27. I rememberthat presser. I looked at my TV & said "You sight regret this someday soon!" That soon

just bit hin in the a**!

[warmfeet]

28. The orange sick shit

owns every death, every misery and every discomfort from here on out. He owns every lost job, every person unable to retire, every person going hungry and living in the street do to his utterly incompetent response to this emergency. Anyone, who still supports him at this point, is equally guilty. Fuck them all in the ass, sideways, with 40 grit sandpaper wrapped on a destroyer named for John McCain.

If an omnipotent, omniscient, god did exist, trump would be spending eternity in the bowels of hell. He would not be the president of these United States of America.

I am becoming openly hostile to anyone who still supports this dickwad. I no longer care what anyone thinks of that behavior. They can fuck themselves as well.

[Pillow talk]

29. he is like Colombo

[PatrickforO]

31. He isn't going to be able to lie his way out of this, kpete. Not a bit.

I've been putting that little fact all over the internet for days, and now it was asked in his presser, and here we have this wonderful response from Senator Brown.

People are going to hear about this, except the people in the Fox bubble, of course...

[BComplex]

33. I hope Bloomberg springs for a television ad showing trump saying that, all through the

election cycle.

[KewlKat]

36. That would have impact

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

35. KNR

[usaf-vet]

37. Don't forget the 52 Senators who FAILED to impeach him. They left us vulnerable to CoVid-19.

[Grokenstein]

38. "I ALONE CAN DO IT!!"

So who did it?
Not Me and Ida Know?
NO MORE TODDLERS-IN-CHIEF

[disndat]

39. Trump needed to cut down Obama's programs

to shore up the economy with his tax cuts for the wealthy.

[AllaN01Bear]

40. this guys lies so much that his nose keeps growing, bah humbug
