'You downplayed the threat': ABC host chews out Larry Kudlow for calling the virus 'contained'


Published 2 mins ago on Mar 29, 2020
By David Edwards



Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, on Sunday defended calling the novel coronavirus outbreak “contained” just days before large swaths of the country were forced to shelter inside their homes.

In an interview on ABC’s This Week, host Martha Raddatz asked the White House adviser why he was predicting “weeks, not months” of economic turmoil due to the global pandemic.

“How can you be sure this economic tragedy won’t be longterm if there’s not a guarantee people will have jobs to return to?” Raddatz said. “I don’t see how it can be just weeks.”

“Well, listen, I say that — weeks — it could be four weeks, it could be eight weeks,” Kudlow replied. “I say that hopefully and I say that prayerfully. That’s what some of the science experts have been telling us. I don’t know if they’ll be right.”

A year is only fifty-two weeks, a century a mere five hundred twenty weeks.

What are people jumping over this old coke-head wife-beater for, just because he says the duration can be measured in weeks?

Honestly, what the Fake News media will get up to trying to assail our Dear Leader, the Light of our land and lives!

Have no idea if he has relapsed. If recollection serves, it was an instance of domestic violence brought it to light. Something to do with a wife and some stairs. But perhaps I am mixing that up with Bill O'Reilly....

Kudlow is a waste of space and oxygen, no better than that idiot Navarro as an economic pundit. Idiocy and ignorance seem a prerequisite for employment by the money laundering grifter Putin put in office here, the cheap thug Trump.

magats and white supremacists include 20's and 30's year olds.

It's about class, not age.
