Sanders on Addressing Coronavirus Outbreak: ‘Shut This President Up’

2020 Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders is knocking President Donald Trump’s response to the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak.

When asked during Sunday night’s 2020 Democratic debate what “the most important thing you would do tonight to try to save American lives” in response to the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak, Sanders first pointed his answer at Trump.

“First thing we gotta do, whether or not I’m president, is to shut this president up right now,” Sanders responded.

He continued, “Because he’s undermining the doctors and the scientists who are trying to help the American people, it is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with un-factual information, which is confusing the general public.”

While noting his second point, the Vermont senator, however, said he was “glad” Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency on Friday.

Sanders went on to make known his second point on what he thinks needs to be done:

“What we have got to do, is move aggressively to make sure that every person in this country finally understands that when they get sick with the coronavirus, that they will — that all payments will be made. They don’t have to worry about coming up with money for testing. They don’t have to worry about coming up with money for treatment.”
