GOP Lawmaker Wants Coronavirus Task Force Shut Down

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) called for the White House coronavirus task force to be disbanded “so that President Trump’s message is not mitigated or distorted,” Politico reports.

He said that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx “continue to contradict” Trump’s goal of reopening the economy.

No I don’t! What a supreme a-hole.

I’m watching Jaws right this second and of course it’s the metaphor for this sort of stupidity.

Yes, we must not counter Trump's dangerous LIES with science and data.

Apparently. Earth to Rep. Biggs....the cows have left the barn and they are not coming back!

This GOPer from Arizona is facing record high COVID cases, its hospitals running in the DANGER category as far as ICU bed capacity, businesses will be closing shop once again, and he is concerned about Trump looking bad?

I am going to hurl...

The Replaugelycans are dead set on proving themselves to be the Death Party, huh? The GO-TRUMP-P are a morbid cult, no doubt about it.

They may be symbolically and uncontrollably predicting the end of their increasingly obsolete party in that case. They need a new mascot, for sure. Maybe a dinosaur or a grinning skull death mask.

Trump contradicts the seriousness of this virus and the advice of the health experts - Fauci and Birx in dealing with it.
