STEPHANOPOULOS: Will your support for Trump continue even if he's convicted?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Yeah. This has been going on for more than a year and his poll numbers never go down.

S: But you're going to politics. I'm asking about right and wrong.

CS: This is about politics. STEPHANOPOULOS: But I'm asking whether you're going to be swayed by a conviction

SUNUNU: Nobody should be shocked that the Republican governor is supporting the Republican president

4 years ago today -- April 7, 2020 -- Trump held one of his covid trainwreck pressers and rolled out the talking point that coronavirus testing was causing causes and not, you know, the virus, which at that time was spreading out of control (🧵) as Trump's polling sagged for obvious reasons, he started talking about how mail-in voting enables cheating, presaging the Big Lie he would deploy months later to try to overturn his election loss

Are we better off today than 4 years ago? Let's examine what the Trump administration was up to on April 1, 2020.

To start with, Mike Pence went on CNN and defended Trump's ludicrous claims about covid just going away on its own. (🧵) Trump, meanwhile, held one of his trainwreck news conferences and sparred with a *Fox News correspondent* who pressed him on how he left the country unprepared for a pandemic

Are we better off than we were 4 years ago? Let's revisit March 24, 2020. Trump began his day w/a Fox News town hall in which he announced he wanted full reopening of the country on Easter, even though March 23 was deadliest day of the pandemic to date. 🧵 To justify his desire for "packed churches" during a pandemic, Trump made a case that we're all gonna die anyway, so what's the biggie?

TRUMP: I hope it doesn't come to that
