Trump - Pence news :
The heightened scrutiny comes as American health care workers complain of severe shortages of masks, goggles and gloves amid a nationwide spike in coronavirus cases, and as Democrats rip
the administration for shipping aid to other countries while vastly underestimating America’s own needs.
“Trump, you incompetent idiot! You sent 18 tons of PPE to China early but ignored warnings & called COVID19 concerns a hoax,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.)
tweeted on Monday,
referring to 17.8 tons of medical supplies—including masks, gowns, gauze, and respirators—the U.S. delivered in February to help with the outbreak in China.
“You’ve endangered doctors, nurses, aids [sic], orderlies, & janitors -- all risking their lives to save ours. Pray 4 forgiveness for the harm that you’re causing!”
Administration officials reject that criticism, noting that the supplies sent to China “ came from private donations, “ not the Strategic National Stockpile.
Yeah ... riiiiigghhttt !
And they explain that as they seek to balance domestic needs against diplomatic considerations, getting a better handle on which supplies are going where is vital.
Bring back “burning at the stake ” ASAP
