Fmr. DHS Official on Trump’s Covid: Might Have an Effect on the Stability of the Gov’t

EXCERPT:

TAYLOR: "Well, look, I mean, we’ve seen the broader public health impact, and that’s, of course, 200,000 plus Americans who have died because of this crisis, and because the White House has taken a lax approach. But the thing that very few of us have talked about publicly and hoped never happened is that that lax approach to the COVID-19 pandemic might actually have an effect on the stability of the federal government. We are now in that situation. I mean, as people have talked about on your show this morning, the closest parallel we have is, you know, Ronald Reagan potentially having to sign away the duties of his office temporarily after, you know, he was shot in the 1980s. Of course, we hope that the President has a speedy recovery and that the virus doesn’t affect him, but we have to consider the possibility that this may affect, again, his ability to carry out the duties of his office. That’s a big concern. It’s something that this White House wasn’t preparing for in my view."
