Trump Rips ’60 Minutes’ and Vaccine Whistleblower for Criticism of Coronavirus Response
President Donald Trump is expressing his displeasure with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” and former Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) director, Dr. Rick Bright.
On Sunday evening, Bright appeared the long-running prime-time show where he was interviewed by news anchor Norah O’Donnell.
Following the interview, Trump retaliated with a barrage of fiery tweets. Trump criticized the interview saying the network interviewed a “fake whistleblower.
Rating O’Donnell as a “third place anchor,” the president also accused her and CBS of “doing everything in their power to demean our Country, much to the benefit of the Radical Left Democrats.”
“Tonight they put on yet another Fake ‘Whistleblower’, a disgruntled employee who supports Dems, fabricates stories [and] spews lies,” Trump tweeted.
He continued,”[60 Minutes] report was incorrect, which they couldn’t care less about. Fake News! I don’t know this guy, never met him, but don’t like what I see. How can a creep like this show up to work tomorrow & report to[Secretary Azar] , his boss, after trashing him on T.V.?…”

The president called on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to further investigate and challenged CBS executive Shari Redstone to evaluate her “poorly performing gang.”
….This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very closely, it is causing great injustice & harm. I hope you are listening @SenSusanCollins I also hope that Shari Redstone will take a look at her poorly performing gang. She knows how to make things right!

Despite Trump’s criticism, Bright has maintained his stance. During his appearance on “60 Minutes” he reiterated his sentiments on hydroxychloroquine.
“I believe my last-ditch effort to protect Americans from that drug was the final straw that they used.” Government scientist Rick Bright says he believes he was retaliated against for raising concerns about hydroxychloroquine. https://t.co/pbZFkHyNN8 pic.twitter.com/KnHoFZgwvU

Bright has been reassigned to a new role as senior advisor to the National Institutes of Health director for diagnostics.
My last paycheck was $9500 working 20 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do………….. Employment10.com
The neverendingly aggrieved TYRANT TODDLER being himself.
I think our dear president needs to stop tweeting and do some real work.
trumpuke and real work are an oxymoronic contradiction in terms.
“I don’t know this guy, never met him” King Donald The Loser
Who can say that they didn’t see THAT one coming? Such a broken record. This guy is such a loser.
Also, this is right out of a coward’s playbook when cornered or exposed for wrongdoing. Typical.
We MUST elect better politicians.

A better, more intelligent electorate is necessary for better politicians to be elected.
And THAT is the underlying implication of that statement. It is up to all of US to make meaningful changes, to rectify this horrible dystopian mess that we are in today. We have to start with what we each can affect most easily and effectivelly – ourselves.
