Once again, sincerely astonished at which positions @GOP Senators choose to double down on.
Which experts? I don’t know, Senator, maybe the countless medical voices who could have saved you from making this obviously and humiliatingly false and dangerous statement? statesman.com/news/20200710/…
Perhaps voices like that of the top infectious disease expert in the country who has become a political lightning rod, ironically, because he doesn’t do politics? And who is being attacked by your White House allies at an exceptionally bad time? nbcnews.com/politics/white…
Maybe the doctors in your home state who clearly have a very different assessment of TX hospital capacity and vulnerabilities than you do? couriernewsroom.com/2020/06/26/tex…
Maybe any number of experts (or just Google I guess) who could have let you know where MERS and swine flu came from so you wouldn’t embarrass yourself with this false (and deragotory) statement? politifact.com/factchecks/202…
If it was just politics, we wouldn’t mind seeing you make these strange decisions about which hill to die on. But the thing about this particular hill is there are a lot of Americans on it with you, with a lot more than politics at stake.
