Larry Kudlow: Trump Admin Abided by the Guidance from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx from Day One

RUSH EXCERPT:

KUDLOW: “As Kevin Hassett himself said, that is not true, Jake, absolutely not true. I’ve known Kevin many years, he’s a brilliant guy and a person of great integrity. Look, what he was doing was taking that Bill Gates — the Gates model, it’s not Bill Gates, but the Gates model from the University of Washington and basically smoothing it out to show what is actually happening. There is a different between a forecast trend and what has actually happened. He was clarifying the situation. He was not changing the situation. We have from day one abided by the advice and guidance of our top medical people. Dr. Fauci, Ambassador birx, and many others in HHS and FDA. This idea that somehow we were creating a new model is simply not the case. Sometimes you can clarify it, it may be a little complex for our purposes this morning, but it was basically a smoothing technique for real world actuals, less of a forecast. We didn’t change anything based on that. Mr. Hassett is a person of great integrity and I will defend that, I will absolutely defend it, his quotes in that story couldn’t have been clearer.”
