Democrats are lambasting Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows after he told CNN’s Jake Tapper that “we’re not going to control the pandemic,” with vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris leading the charge.
As the COVID-19 death count in the U.S. approaches 225,000 people and several members of the Trump Administration — including Trump himself — join the millions that have tested positive for the virus, Meadows suggested in his interview on “State of the Union” that the virus was beyond containment. Instead, Meadows said that the White House was “going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas.”
