‘Morning Joe’ on Coronavirus: ‘Lives Would Be Saved’ if Trump Agreed to Leave Office

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “You know, people always talk about when Arizona conservative icon Barry Goldwater went to the White House and actually told Richard Nixon that it was time to leave. That’s not what we’re even asking here, though I believe America would be far better off.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Absolutely.”
SCARBOROUGH: "Senior citizens would be far safer. We could face this crisis far better if Donald Trump did leave office. That’s not going to happen. But, you know, we’re not talking about 50 Republicans here. We’re not talking about 30 Republicans. Five Republicans going over there, saying, 'Mr. President, we’re not asking you to leave. We’re just asking you to do your job. We have people suffering in our districts. We have people suffering in our states. We have to get people back to work, but your own doctors have been telling you for months now, that can’t happen without a robust testing regimen where we can test and trace, Mr. President. And you keep refusing to do that. You’re the only person in this government that can have a national approach to testing, to tracing, to treating, to doing the sort of things that we need to do to reopen our economies, to save our businesses in our states.'”
