Sarah Sanders on Trump’s Covid Response: ‘He Cut the Red Tape & Let Americans Do What They Do Best’

HUCKABEE SANDERS: “I think if Donald Trump hadn’t been president, that number could have been much higher and could have been much worse. Thankfully the President took some early steps like stopping travel, which a lot of Democrats criticized him for. One of the other things that Donald Trump did that I think was truly remarkable, that he gets no credit for, is that he got government out of the way. He allowed American companies to step up, American ingenuity to take over when we needed supplies and resources. He cut the red tape and let Americans do what they do best. And he passed a lot of the decision-making down to state and local governments who were closest to the problem. He did exactly what the federal government should have done. And I think that it has been completely missed and they are not getting enough credit for allowing individual states and municipalities and cities to make those decisions for the people in their community. In some cases, that’s worked extremely well. In other cases I think we need to hold some of those individuals that made those decisions responsible for not taking the best course of action they could have for the citizens in their community.”
