The White House is reportedly considering a massive overhaul at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the Trump administration tries to pin blame on the agency for its bungled response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The CDC would undergo a performance review, multiple officials told Politco, which first reported the news. The audit would likely highlight several failures like the inability to deploy working tests in the early months of the pandemic.

White House staffers have discussed narrowing the CDC's mission or adding political appointees, multiple senior administration officials said in the report. Over the last few months, President Donald Trump has been trying to deflect criticism of his response to the pandemic and could be looking for an entity beyond China to blame, the article said.

Top politicians including former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, have been critical of Trump's handling of the crisis.

Yeah get Jared over there ASAP

How can you blame CDCgov when Trump cut funding and forced many to leave? Funding for many agencies cut causing inadequate abilities to fund military and wall. All stem from cuttting business taxes cause giant reduction of government revenues. Third grader could figure that out

...under the bus...as usual.

But Trump said the Covid-19 response was “perfect”

The blame game!

Day late dollar short. COVID-19 has outed all the fools in this country running things.

Blame game again

The Republicans playing tug-a-war. They have one person on the rope. The other side has 10 people on the rope. They keep losing. Their approach to fix the problem. replace the one person with another person who agrees with them.

Informed voters in Atlanta, GA know when the cdc Snake Pit with a planned assault from within viciously torpedoed the blameless director...they were free to slither around as before and look what they are now...fools and radicals of unseemly intent. Fire them all...no shakeup.

Leadership starts at the top....meaning the President

What about at NIH? DrFauci must go!

All the doctors not treating COVID-19 exactly like the flu these days are using gutter science. Science can't be trusted based on only assumptions. Math can't even be proven true. Math dies when every number has a centillion centillion places after the decimal point.

Something to drum up Trump’s supporters.

What could go wrong.....

The American public is also strongly considering a mass firing in November due to the botched COVID19 response and all the GOP corruption as well as the blatant stupidity of the current WH occupant DementiaDon

Timely, as always. Don't prepare, just respond. Trump is not the great counter puncher they claimed.

The White House should not have any control over the CDC or the NOAA.

Scapegoats.

‘ bout time

As if we needed another proof that Trump is the most pathetic human being ever.

The CDC knew exactly what to do and Trump botched the response by handing it off to his shitgoblin son-in-law.

The WhiteHouse looking for scapegoats.

How about a shakeup in the WH! They botched the response BIGLY! They knew and sat on it!!

I think the best course of action is a shakeup at the White House instead of the CDC. Starting at the top.

Yeah, let’s throw out the baby with the bath water. They were gagged, not wrong you misinformed toads.

Didn't take it seriously. Didn't listen to recommendations and now you are scapegoating everyone but the administration. Pitiful.

Shifting blame—as always.

There is only one person who botched: the president.

What we need is a shake up in the White House and the Senate. Unfortunately that won't happen until November.

Shouldn't the CDC consider a shakeup of the White House over botched Covfefe response?

It’s Trump’s CDC under his authority that he blames for failure.

The shake up needs to be in the White House.

Mandate face mask.
