.MaddowBlog: It's not just Fauci: Trump is now blasting Birx, too
President Donald Trump on Monday slammed White House coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx after the public health official said the pandemic was "extraordinarily widespread." Trump's attack comes shortly after top White House officials admonished House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for undermining trust in Birx.
"So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics," the presidentIt wasn't altogether clear what it was Birx said that angered Trump, though the doctoryesterday, in reference to the coronavirus pandemic,"I want to be very clear, what we're seeing today is different from March and April.
Evidently, this isn't what the president wanted to hear -- in part because the truth is politically inconvenient, and in part because Trump perceived Birx's acknowledgement of reality as an example of"hitting" the administration. And as ridiculous as the presidential shot was, so too are the absurd circumstances inside the West Wing. I don't seriously expect Alyssa Farah and Judd Deere to defend Birx against Trump's latest online tantrum, but it's nevertheless hard not to marvel at the White House dysfunction.
