CNN’s Tapper drops the hammer on the GOP leadership for standing by while Trump becomes increasingly dangerous
Published 1 min ago on April 26, 2020
In his closing comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday morning, host Jake Tapper took Republicans — and the GOP leadership in particular — to task for standing idly by while Donald Trump bungles the coronavirus crisis, including suggesting “dangerous” solutions to treating victims of the virus.

“We’re running out of words to describe this era,” Tapper lectured. “Republicans in Congress and in the Trump administration know that not only is the president failing to rise to this moment to, for example, get the nation on a path to widespread testing, the president is now making open ponderings about treatments that experts worry could actually harm people.”

“His anti-scientific musings have been dangerous,” he continued. “We saw this with his downplaying the virus.

1. The GOP has known from the beginning that Trump was dangerously ill equipped for the position. On Feb. 5th 2020 they missed their opportunity to dump him and save the Republican party. They didn't.
2. This has been a 40 year war for corporate control of the country. The GOP has won the battles BUT THEY ARE ABOUT TO LOSE THE WAR!
and claim to care about workers, children, women, the climate, postal workers, union members, farm hands and crop pickers, or the environment. The GOP has used race as a sharp poker to maintain power over this country while Democrats have been far too passive. No one wants to deprive white people of anything except the ability to suppress the rights and aspirations of everyone else that is not white. GOD is on our side.
