CNN Anchor Shreds Trump Spox on President's COVID Response: 'Here Are the Facts'

Spox I guess means spokesperson



CNN anchor Poppy Harlow on Friday shut down Trump campaign spokesperson Mercedes Schlapp over the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, pointing out how many times the president has said the virus that’s killed nearly 140,000 Americans would just “go away” and “disappear.”

In a contentious 15-minute CNN interview, Schlapp was steamrolled almost immediately by Harlow, who came prepared with a list of facts to push back on the Trump flack’s inevitable spin.

After tangling over the issue of mask mandates and how experts show they could stem the spread of the disease, Harlow brought up a patient who recently died, noting he expressed regret for believing coronavirus was a hoax.

“For months and months, why did the president continue to downplay the severity of this?” Harlow pressed the Trump spokesperson, prompting her to blow up.

This woman tried to turn it into a campaign issue. Whatever one feels about Biden Trump is in charge. The 130,000+ deaths are on his watch.
