‘Why Is He Afraid?’ CNN Host Calls Out Donald Trump for Hiding in White House While COVID Rages

Published

on

CNN’s John Berman on Friday called out President Donald Trump for disappearing from the public eye even as the novel coronavirus pandemic rips through the country.

Despite the fact that both COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations have hit record highs this week, Trump has not once spoken publicly and was only seen once in public when he made a brief appearance at a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday.

“It’s been eight days since we’ve heard the president say anything out loud!” Berman exclaimed. “Not a single word out loud for eight days! And in the time since we last heard the president’s voice, 7,000 Americans have died from coronavirus, there’s been nearly 920,000 new cases reported.”

Berman found himself totally bewildered as to why Trump, who in the past has rushed to throw himself in front of TV cameras, has vanished at a time when the country needs some kind of leadership on a public health crisis.

“Why is he afraid to speak in public?” Berman asked. “It’s been eight days since we’ve heard his voice. This is, I think, unprecedented.”

‘So much racism’

Acting Senate Intelligence Chairman Marco Rubio suggested he will vote against all of the cabinet picks President-elect Joe Biden announced on Monday. The Florida Republican, an expected 2024 presidential hopeful, appeared especially disturbed by the educational backgrounds, and some are saying the racial and ethnic backgrounds, of Biden’s diverse and experienced team.

“Biden’s cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools,have strong resumes,attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline,” Rubio tweeted (lack of proper spacing and punctuation are original to his tweet.) “I support American greatness And I have no interest in returning to the ‘normal’ that left us dependent on China”

Rubio was immediately met with tremendous push back, including many who pointed to Trump’s cabinet members’ Ivy League pedigrees.

‘I Concede Nothing!’: In Tuesday Twitter Tantrum Trump Spreads Lies About the ‘Rigged Election’ Weeks After Losing

President Donald Trump kicked off his all-but-empty schedule Tuesday by firing off a slew of tweets and retweets, mostly all lies, about the election, including one quoting him saying “I concede NOTHING!!!!!”

Trump does not need to concede for Joe Biden to be sworn in as President on January 20, 2021, which he will be.

The outgoing president started around 7:30 AM by declaring the U.S. election – of which, as president, he is responsible for ensuring is free and fair – was a “RIGGED ELECTION!”

Trump retweeted actor Randy Quaid’s false claims of “election fraud,” including a “#StopTheSteaI2020” hashtag. The “law and order president,” as he calls himself, had no moral conflict retweeting an American who applied for asylum from Canada, after reported legal run-ins with the law.

He also retweeted this post, not mentioning that the claims the election was “rigged” and “fraudulent” are not only false, but came from Trump himself weeks before Election Day, to pave the road for his dozens of legal challenges, of which he has lost all but two.

Trump clearly is hedging his bets and leaving the door open for some “career” in “news.”

(This tweet flashes colors, which might be uncomfortable or dangerous for some people.)

This tweet is 100 percent false.

In it, Trump quotes the lawyer husband of one of his attorneys. The state of Wisconsin’s voting website states: “Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to vote absentee.”

This tweet is also 100 percent false.

“Trump now claims he fired Mattis, says President Barack Obama did the same and takes credit for nicknaming him Mad Dog Mattis. None of that is true,” reported the Associated Press back in June. (Trump frequently repeats his lies.)

Then, this, around 8:30 AM:

Trump likely will never concede.
