Doing my job properly requires intellectual honesty, which sometimes entails saying things that I believe are true — even if they criticize ideological allies, and even if they risk angering part of my audience. With that said...
(1) The media has done a lot to crush trust and credibility, and I frequently talk about how and why that’s the case. But today isn’t on them. The shoddy WH clown show of obfuscation, misinformation & ‘clarification’ has been embarrassing and unacceptable...
(2) I still do not have confidence that we know the full and true story, or timeline of events. I still do not have confidence that we have a solid grasp on the president’s condition. We need precision, clarity and transparency...
(3) Based on what we do know, it appears as though, *at the very least,* the decision to have the president attend an indoor donor event — reportedly with a buffet dinner(!) — on Thursday evening was extremely reckless... nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nj-…
(4) In light of the president’s (unclear) condition & potential governance contingencies, I think it is irresponsible for the VP to continue to hold campaign rallies while POTUS is hospitalized w COVID. Precautions matter. Too few have been taken by this team for too long...
(5) Sen. Johnson’s decision to attend a GOP event *after* learning of his positive COVID test is just astounding, even w/ the mitigation steps he reportedly took. If you’re positive, you isolate immediately, for the sake of others. You don’t go to political fundraising dinners...
(6) None of these observations are incompatible with fervently wishing and praying for a full / speedy recovery for POTUS and everyone affected... /end
