Kamala Harris just dropped the hammer
Now that everything is falling to pieces for Donald Trump and he has nothing else left to try, he’s making the bizarre false claim that he has “absolute” power to override the governors and forcibly reopen various states in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
This is yet another instance of Donald Trump making an awful threat he knows is impossible, in order to scare us and distract us from the awful things he’s actually doing to us. Fortunately, the media is doing a good job of informing the public that Trump has no such power to reopen the country.
After PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor called Donald Trump out for his false claim, Senator Kamala Harris proceeded to drop the hammer on Trump:
…total incompetence. The power, Mr. President, is with the people. https://t.co/GaQrg8md4G
