CNN’s Lemon: Trump ‘Hijacks’ Press Briefing To Argue with Reporters and Air Grievances

‘Nothing set him off more than questions about the report by the inspector general for the department of health and human services’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEMON: “Andrew Cuomo, Chris’ brother, says that the death rate in his state has been effectively flat now for two days. But it’s going to take longer than that to see whether that will hold. That is happening as the president hijacks tonight’s Coronavirus briefing, surprise, taking time when the experts could have been answering America’s questions, questions that are on everyone’s mind. He’s taking time to argue with reporters and air his grievances. And nothing set him off more than questions about the report by the inspector general for the department of health and human services. The report that finds that hospitals are dealing with severe and widespread shortages. And let’s all be crystal clear about this. Without a report we have all heard from hospitals over and over and over and over begging for masks. For ppe. And for testing. So none of this should be a surprise to the test. Why should he be shocked by it? It’s a matter of facts. It’s the truth. But this is a president who just cannot handle the truth. A president who has to make everything about him. He needs to be praised at every second. He is so thin-skinned, a president who just loses it whenever he hears someone or something that he perceives as criticism.”
