This is completely out of control
On Thursday morning, Jennifer Jacobs broke incredible news on Twitter that shows the callousness, indifference, and lack of caring about the coronavirus. Jacobs, Senior White House reporter for Bloomberg News, tweeted:
“The head of White House security office, Crede Bailey, is gravely ill with coronavirus and has been hospitalized since late September, I’m told. Security office handles credentialing for access to WH; works closely with Secret Service on security measures on the compound.”
Crede was reportedly sick before the September 26 Rose Garden event. If this is the case – and reports are that more than two dozen people who attended the super spreader event are sick – then this whole thing is even uglier than we knew.
This administration is despicable for its treacherous behavior in a national pandemic. While Pence the Pious was at the debate last night lying through his teeth, despite being the coronavirus task force head, making up extrapolations about the swine flu, and Karen Pence decided a mask was not necessary, Trump continues to simply make things up.
Trump is outraged that the debate is now virtual, he says he does not think he is contagious, and news is also out that Trump demanded Walter Reed medical personnel sign NDAs before treating him. The last point assures us we have no idea of what his health is like or what is going on. In the meantime, Crede is in bad shape, while Herman Cain and 210,000 others are dead. This administration cares not about any of us.
