After the news broke on Wednesday that President Donald Trump admitted on tape to downplaying the coronavirus in an interview with renowned journalist Bob Woodward, the presidents Republican allies on Capitol Hill as of Thursday morning have shown little concern, many responding with a similar refrain: I havent read it yet.
During a Fox Business interview Thursday, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida expressed some muted being criticism, saying if the American people knew about COVID-19 sooner, "it would have certainly been helpful."
"Do I prefer that American people had been told, more fully, sort of the risks and the threat early on?" Rubio said. "Sure."
"I think in hindsight, a few extra weeks on the front end having done more about it would have certainly been helpful, but I don't think that negates all the positive things that they have done," he later added.
