It was the pandemic too…
If you missed it: Deborah Birx testified today for the first time about Trump’s covid response.
She painted a picture of widespread dysfunction:
“People were communicating with the president dangerous ideas…on a daily basis,” she told @COVIDOversight.

Much of the hearing focused on Birx’s rival SCOTT ATLAS and new documents obtained by Democrats.
In this March 2020 email, Atlas says early response is “massive overreaction” and predicted covid would likely cause 10,000 deaths.
(US topped 1 million known deaths last month.)
After what we’ve heard today about the attempts to overturn the election this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. But in the case of the pandemic,Trump’s dependence on lackeys and yes-men resulted in human misery of epic proportions. My God. He is the GOP frontrunner for 2024 and if it’s close enough for his henchmen to steal it they are perfectly prepared to get it right this time.
