Former New Jersey Governor and Biden campaign surrogate Christine Todd Whitman (R) blamed President Trump for tens of thousands of coronavirus-related deaths because, in her words, he “did not take this virus seriously.”
The twice-elected Republican broke Reagan’s so-called 11th commandment not to speak ill of a fellow Republican in an appearance on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” earlier today. (Mediaite)
Mitchell asked the former governor, “How do you deal with this, when the Attorney General of the United States talks about lockdowns as an infringement on freedom and form of slavery?”
Whitman first noted that this sort of rhetoric makes a governor’s job impossible before saying, “it’s really dangerous, what this administration is doing.” She explained, “It’s not just politics, it’s people’s lives and by telling people and confusing people about the importance of masks.”

“This president, and people like Bill Barr, going out there and saying the things that they do, are putting people’s lives at risk,” she continued. “We have literally lost tens of thousands of people because this administration did not take this virus seriously at the beginning.”
The Director of the CDC said during congressional testimony that if all Americans were to wear a mask, the virus would be controlled in six to 12 weeks. However, President Donald Trump continues to give mixed messages about the efficacy of mask-wearing. Many in his base of supporters appear to believe that masks are part of some grand conspiracy or that their potential impact on the spread of Covid-19 is solely a result “fake news.”
Trump has previously encouraged Americans to wear masks.

Stand With Trump [ACT NOW]
Three words say it all “Former”. and “New Jersey”. Just don’t believe her!
Another Judas…..
This Governor, is lying through her teeth!
I don’t understand how masks that only keep out 10 to 15 microns of infection when the virus is only 3 microns in size. It is a political test to controll the masses heading us towards communist take over by democrats. They start with fear to get them to do small things and work people up the total dependance on the government. No matter what they throw at the president to try to take him down and destroy this country I’m still going to vote for him because there is absolutely no other choice that makes sense.
There are very few (and they are expensive) masks that will prevent the inhalation of the virus. However, my understanding is that the virus is mostly aerosol-borne. Any type of mask that will contain the spread of water vapor and spittle normally emitted during speech and breathing will largely prevent the virus from spreading beyond the mask. Since the virus can be spread for up to two weeks before symptoms occur and a large percentage of people who have it are asymptomatic anyway, wearing masks can drastically limit its spread.
That said, most of the restrictions are overkill. Health authorities should make recommendations based on best available scientific knowledge, but it must be left up to individuals to decide for themselves how far they want to implement those recommendations. The effects of the shutdown are proving to be more detrimental than the virus itself. Protect at-risk individuals, but let everyone else go on about their lives.
You must be Mikey Weinberg, the radical who tried to remove Christians from the military. So much of what you say is wrong. For one thing, MOST masks don’t do much of anything. The leak on all sides . And when I wear one, in order to get enough air, I pull it down under my nose.
NO I DON’T BELIEVE IN THE MASKS. But I do believe in God. And i believe that, just like the times He saved me from certain death (heart rate of FOUR beats a minute) He can save me from corona. Especially since my doctor DOES believe in using a three component treatment that includes zinc and hycrocholorgine. He has treated 80 patients including four over 70 years of age who went into the hospital. And NONE of them died.
Your last paragraph is CORRECT. Most of this was designed to destroy the economy. That is why Newman still has California locked down.
Trump is among only a handful of republicans that are patriots and worthy of my vote.
Trump is a former Democrat and not a Republican but a would-be Mussolini.
YOU LIE. So I will demand that you explain what he has done that was BAD for the nation and was dictatorial YOU CAN’T. You accuse him falsely. Prove our statement.
GOTCHA.
I hope all these scumbag RINO’S and never Trumpers realize that “we the people” the “true conservatives” will never forget or forgive their treachery! Just remember that!
Here is a partial list of RINOs
Collins
Murkowski
Cornyn
McConnell
King
And finally the RINO horns come out for all to see. Way to go Christine Todd Whitman.
She is a FAKE conservative. So did anyone demand her to tell how Trump; was specifically responsible for these deaths. Especially since he acted correctly in spite of the opposite demands by all those Democrats? Ask her if Pelosi was right for walking in China Town? Or Biden when he called Trump xenophobic for putting in the ban on travel.
No, a good reporter would demand that she say SPECIFICALLY what he did or did not do that caused those deaths. It is NOT like Cuomo who forced elderly back into nursing homes where the DID die.
