Intercepted medical supplies
Didn't develop a plan for tests
Still hasn't developed one
Now he wants to open up

This is what happens when you have a ruling party with no interest in governing, and a leader with no interest in outcomes and no regard for life.

It's a blame management response. He doesn't want to do the work of putting out the house fire. He'd rather shove the family back inside and blame them for burning, while praising himself for decisively hooking the hoses to the hydrants within *hours* of arriving on the scene.

Ask him why he hasn't turned the hoses on and he'll complain about the water bill.

When the house collapses he'll insist nobody could have seen it coming.

It's time for us to abandon this failed fire chief and turn our attention to those who refuse to dismiss him.
