‘That Was Offensive’: Harris Faulkner Calls Out Marie Harf for Taking ‘Shot’ Against Show

EXCERPT:

FAULKNER: "Can I just quickly say, because I feel like, Marie, you took a shot at us there. And maybe you felt like it was necessary, I don't know, but if you don’t think that our hearts are big enough to mourn for the people who we have lost during this pandemic, what exactly are you trying to say? That is offensive and it is not true. It is not true. But the best way to protect those people that we love so much is to make sure that the decisions that we make give them longevity after the pandemic as well and to get what we do right based on the science, not just 'Oh my gosh, the numbers are ballooning, let’s just destroy everything in the process of trying to save it.' You are right, we have learned a lot. It didn’t just happen nine days ago, it’s been months now. The scientists are teaching us, again, new stuff. Let’s live by that. But please, keep your judgment someplace where you know you can fact-check it because you can’t see my heart. And trust me when I tell you it hurts all of us to lose those Americans and people around the world."
