This isn't a bad pandemic response. Trump repeatedly called it a flu. He raged a war against masks. He refused WHO tests. He purposely sabotaged national testing to "keep the numbers down." He threw away the game plan. He silenced the CDC. He aggressively pushed a bad drug./1
He out bid states life saving equipment. He fired oversight for PPP money and made it rain for his friends. He bought a pillow salesman to covid briefings. He held maskless super spreading rallies. And he had help. @jaredkushner stole PPE from states in desperate need./2
@GovRonDeSantis fired dozens of public health officials for accurately reporting cases and deaths. @VP declared victory over the virus 250k deaths ago. @MattGatez wore a freaking gas mask to make fun of the severity./3
Just weeks ago @tedcruz said we'd be done with it after the election. And still, as we have surpassed 3000 American deaths a day, @senatemajldr is refusing to even debate giving us our own tax dollars until he secures protection for his donors from liability from killing us. /4
This is not a bad pandemic response. Please stop calling it that. It is the purposeful protection of the fortunes of @GOP donors in exchange for the lives and the livelihoods of the poorest Americans. /5
It is the @gop sacrificing the lives of minorities and elderly for political gain and personal profit. It is a genocide that is being erroneously portrayed as negligence by our media. Rather we do or not, history will call this genocide. Because that's exactly what it is. /6
This is only a brief glimpse into what Republicans in our government have done to knowingly EXCEL the devastating impact of covid in our nation. And it would be remiss not to mention how none of this would have been possible without the deliberate lies of those at @FoxNews. /end
