The Trump admin. engaged in “deliberate efforts” to undermine the US response to the coronavirus pandemic for political purposes, congressional report concludes.

, the White House Covid response coordinator, told the vice president’s chief of staff, Marc Short, that it was “a fringe group without grounding in epidemics, public health or on the ground common sense experience.” Birx also said in the email that she could “go out of town or whatever gives the WH cover” on the day of the meeting.

Birx also told the panel that Atlas and other Trump officials “purposely weakened CDC’s coronavirus testing guidance in August 2020 to obscure how rapidly the virus was spreading across the country,” the report said. The altered guidance recommended that asymptomatic people didn’t need to get tested, advice that was"contrary to consensus science-based recommendations," it said, adding,"Dr.

CDC officials also stated media requests to interview them were denied during that period, the subcommittee report said. In addition, Dr. Steven Hatfill, an adviser to former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, “may have declined leads to purchase supplies like N95 masks in the spring 2020 solely because the products were not manufactured in the United States," the subcommittee said.

MSDNC IS FOS

He needs to be charged for many of his misdeeds, starting with calling the virus 'a hoax' instead of acting on it responsibly as any REAL POTUS would have!! Lives were lost because of his inaction etc.!!!

Of course they did! And it cost people their lives

And what are we going to do about it? Nothing. He commits immoral and rotten things his entire life snd never is held accountable

Remember he was dying of Covid when this picture was taken.

A subcommittee made up of lib Fauci followers. Please, drive around by yourself with your mask on. It brings me humor…

Criminally negligent mass murder.

Liz Cheney is more outspoken than most Dems

He has been found to have been involved in multiple crimes and he’s just relaxing in Mar a Lago pretending he’s president with his little presidential seal copy cat logo and issuing statements and meeting with his “cabinet”. Our AG just let’s it happen and Dems remain silent.

You know I just can’t even believe that this shit has been going on for a year with zero criminal referrals. There has been so much evidence that would land any one of us in jail. You know that Trump really did expose DC for how corrupt it is.

The chaos coming from the tRump admin provided them cover for their evil doings and kept the country on perpetual tilt. tRump and his entire inner circle enriched themselves on public money and headed down the road to autocracy.

Well DUH…

🙄

Crimes Against Humanity

Congressional report 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣which means from democrats in Congress

Since day 1.

Lock him up!

Imagine a political party, Republicans, more than willing to sacrifice it's voters, discourage them from getting vaccinated, to regain power! What else are they capable of? Nothing good!

No kidding!

Ha! What’s funny is you actually believe this late night fart

A House select subcommittee investigation? 🤣🤣

What would you expect? The hate goes on.

Duh.

Herd immunity to Covid seems impossible as the lack of survivors to the virus is not strong enough to actuate the immunity due to the rapid ability of the virus to mutate and avoid natural immunity of the entire world population.. Vaccination is the way to protect world humanity

Yeah...no shit. We all lived through it and watched it unfold in real time. No 'report' necessary.

when will the democrats stop lying

lies by the democrats

More death under Sleep Joe. Quit falling for the TDS.

No surprise at all at any actions by this terrible example of a man.

Rent Free 😂

Negligence. He is mostly responsible for the way things are. He made it about himself and not the health of the American people.

1) anyone other than Birx or Faucci testify 2) anyone go to jail yet for funding gain of function bio terror labs in China? 3) herd immunity vs long term effects of shutting the economy down and isolating people- which too has consequences

We saw it happening in front of our eyes…no surprises here!

Despite knowing the severity & contagiousness of the virus, don’t we all already know Trump deliberately lied in an effort to not hurt his stock market?

What would you do without Trump ?

no shit

No shit?

Duh

Murderers row!

NBC it’s s a good thing you aren’t bias’ - FYI - Trump gave us the Vaccines - your new is JUNK

Congressional reports are worth NOTHING

I knew it! Finally proof! Keep going everyone that's investigating!!

Did Adam Schiffhead write that too?

Funny how Dems can write bs on a napkin and the no questions asked media will gladly sell it.

We know.

And there will be consequences for that right? Padme and Anakin meme ….there will be consequences for that, right?

Listen to Joe Rogan and Dr. Peter McCullough - he makes more sense than Fauci any day of the week. Wake up!

You don’t say?
