He just made a big mistake.
According to Breitbart News, Rep. Ted Lieu slammed Mike Pompeo for the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
He asked, “Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney told the Conservative Political Action Conference that the coronavirus was the hoax of the day. Do you agree with Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mulvaney that the coronavirus is the hoax of the day?”
Pompeo said, “The State Department is doing everything it can to protect American citizens around the world-“
Lieu pressed, “Do you believe coronavirus is a hoax of the day?”
Pompeo replied, “I’m not going to comment on what others are saying. I’m just telling you what the Secretary of State is doing.”
Lieu continued, “It’s not even a gotcha question. Do you believe the coronavirus is a hoax?”
Pompeo said, “It is a gotcha moment. It’s not useful.”
Lieu said, “Is the coronavirus a hoax?”
Pompeo said, “We’re taking it seriously.”
Lieu said, “At 12:15 p.m. today, are you speaking at CPAC?”
Pompeo said, “Yes, I am.”
Lieu concluded, “You only given two hours to a bipartisan group of members of Congress, and instead of answering questions on life-and-death issues from a bipartisan group of Americans representatives, you going to go talk to a special interest group. You represent all Americans, not a special interest group, and it is shameful you get even answer basic questions. I yield back.” You can watch a clip of Lieu’s remarks here.
The Demorats just “refuse” to work with the Republicans on the coronavirus problem, all they want to do is “politicize” the event and try and destroy President Trump’s re-election efforts I guess in favor of “Commie Bernie”. And if you are paying attention, I have not seen any indications from Bernie or the other POTUS wannabe’s WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO COMBAT THE CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC, it would be interesting to find out, for all they can do is criticize President Trump on his actions.
