Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Sunday bashed former President Barack Obama’s handling of Ebola, a viral disease that two Americans died from, but praised President Trump’s response to the coronavirus as cases surge in several cities.
When pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday morning about whether she’d criticize Trump now that almost 130,000 Americans died from the coronavirus — given how she criticized Obama during her Senate run in 2014 by accusing him of “failed leadership” on Ebola — Ernst replied that “we all have responsibility in stopping the spread” before emphasizing the importance of mask-wearing and social distancing.

I hope the GOP suffers in the elections. Who would have envisioned having such a deceitful political party in the US.

Who in there right mind brags about the number of cases? Who despite the worst metrics in the word brags about the efficacy of the pandemic response? Pretty soon we will have more deaths from the Korean War to the contemporary wars combined and they act smug. What normal people will act that way? PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

First. If you think 120,000 deaths is insignificant your logic is suspect.
Secondly, Trump's mental acuity has everything to do with his style of leadership. Trump is toxic. He fills his administration with "yes" people. He did not have the vision, common sense, and leadership to provide good response and planning for the pandemic. He is not right in his head.
Thirdly, leave LTC Broom alone. We know Trump is toxic and will attack many many people. If you don't kiss his ass, then there is a good chance of being fired. Have you ever worked for a toxic person?

The fear in her eyes, at what might happen if she criticized Trump, was palpable.

I can only imagine the many government employees who are riding the rapids because they fear losing their careers.

MAJ Ken Landgren - If they do their jobs they have nothing to fear. The same could have been said about Obama. He was even more ruthless when it came to loyalty, but I guess you would not want to admit or recognize that. Obama was ruthless when it came to "leakers". Oh, that is who you and other anti-americans would call whistle blowers today. If they aren't doing their jobs then they should lose them. That's been the problem since I was in the military in 1984. Civilians/bureaucrats have long been virtually untouchable in the government system even as they poorly performed their jobs. It was almost impossible to relieve them.
