Kasie Hunt Invokes Deceased NBC Colleague to Warn Trump Against Rolling Back Coronavirus Policies

‘It doesn’t matter how much money you have or don’t have, or power you have or don’t have’

EXCERPT:

HUNT: “And politically speaking, Joe, to the point you’ve been making on the show over and over again, about it being a medical crisis and not an economic crisis, what I don’t understand about where the President is coming from here is that if you do not take the actions necessary to stop this spread, if you do not keep these measures in place as long as we need them, the political and economic ramifications are not going to ignore the reality that results. This is not something you can bluster or push or headline, or whatever, your way out of. You just can’t. If this medical crisis is exacerbated because this president lifts the social restrictions too quickly, we’re going to have an economic crisis. If he wants to get re-elected, he will need to make sure that his decisions are not blamed for everyone being concerned that somebody they know was in the hospital or passed away. We all at NBC News had a very beloved colleague that we’ve already lost to this virus and we’re still only at the beginning."
