dailykos: Ernst says Trump "was on it (coronavirus) from day one" [View all]
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/5/8/1943497/-Senate-Republicans-settle-on-praising-Trump-s-coronavirus-butchery-all-the-way-to-reelectionIowa's Sen. Joni Ernst was all sunshine and rainbows too.
“Generally, I feel [Trump’s] done a very good job,” Ernst said. “He was right on it from day one prohibiting travel from certain countries and so forth. I think it was the right thing to do.” Except that the virus was already here and spreading as Trump spent the nearly two months dismissing the lethal invader as a "hoax." Meanwhile, back in reality, American deaths sped past 75,000 Thursday and will easily surpass 100,000 in the next several months. But sure, Trump was "on it," whatever that means.
No surprise. Joni is betting the house on Trumpy coat tails.
