Ernst Praises Trump COVID Response | Talking Points Memo
"When pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday morning about whether she’d criticize Trump now that almost 130,000 Americans died from the coronavirus — given how she criticized Obama during her Senate run in 2014 by accusing him of “failed leadership” on Ebola — Ernst replied that “we all have responsibility in stopping the spread” before emphasizing the importance of mask-wearing and social distancing.
“We all should do our part to make sure that we are protecting others as well. So this is a virus that’s not going to go away soon,” Ernst said. “We want to make sure that we are watching this and doing everything that we can as a federal government, including the research and development of therapeutics and vaccinations to make sure that we are doing the right thing as a nation.”
Asked whether the President is exhibiting failed leadership himself on coronavirus, Ernst denied the notion by arguing that he is “stepping forward” and pointing out that Vice President Mike Pence that is “spearheading the task force efforts on the coronavirus.”
Here are the stats from Wiki on Ebola in the US...
Cases contracted in the U.S.: 2
Cases first diagnosed in U.S.: 4
Cases evacuated to U.S. from other countries: 7
Total cases: 11
Deaths: 2
Recoveries from Ebola: 9
Active cases: 0
This news is actually a little encouraging. A Republican from Iowa is telling people to wear masks. That's progress.
