So when it comes to securing the ventilators, masks and other equipment required to fight a global pandemic, the governors are responsible. When it comes to ending stay at home directives in the states, the president’s “authority is total?” — PolitiTweet.org

Still pushing a testing regimen that has yet to be proven and could be dangerous. Old news by now, but... — PolitiTweet.org

Why would anyone conclude from the fact that the @POTUS retweeted an email with the tag line #FireFauci, that the president wants to fire Fauci? How absurd! — PolitiTweet.org

If you have had the virus or lost someone to it; if you have lost your job or your business is threatened; if you are worried about what the world will look like when we emerge from this- or wondering when that will be-do you find this “briefing” at all comforting or useful? — PolitiTweet.org

“Governors chose not to have ventilators. They should have had ventilators.” Say WHAT?!?! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

No amount of name-calling, media-bashing or other histrionics can change the history. The places where the virus has been relatively less destructive are those where governors, following science, imposed strict measures well before the @POTUS was willing to acknowledge the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The @POTUS invites us to recall that throughout February, he insisted that the virus was of little consequence and would, “like a miracle,” just go away. No public health expert would agree then for reasons we can see now. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So instead of the CYA session, how about some news about where this is going. That’s why people tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The benefit of a travel ban, according the experts, was to buy time to accelerate production of tests, PPE and ventilators & prepare for an inevitable outbreak. This did not happen until mid-March. During that period, the @POTUS assured the nation the virus was “under control.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This quick, warm and unambiguous endorsement from @BernieSanders is a huge and important boost for @JoeBiden. Without papering over their differences, the two projected a united front. Each handled this well. https://t.co/MEBXPtBJQF — PolitiTweet.org

Leaving aside the observation that the @POTUS wasn’t exactly imbued with the Easter spirit, it would be incredibly stupid to sideline the most important experienced, trusted. voice around him. Let’s hope for the sake of us all that he does not. https://t.co/Z6wgeUsXWL — PolitiTweet.org

It is pretty remarkable to watch comments: Dems saying they won’t listen to Rs. Rs saying they won’t listen to Dems. Christie’s insights into Trump are candid and worthwhile. He has valuable perspective as a former Gov on this crisis and a wealth of great stories. Take a listen! — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s rollicking NEW #AxeFiles convo w/@ChrisChristie covering everything from his life & career to his friend @realDonaldTrump. Listen to full pod here: https://t.co/g54AfNa4vs. In clip below, Christie speaks to why he thinks Trump downplayed COVID-19 for six critical weeks. https://t.co/mAZzdDq31C — PolitiTweet.org

I was grilled many times by Chris Wallace. Always tough but fair. I figured it was his job to answer tough questions and mine to answer. Chris is a fine journalist who doesn’t pull his punches for anyone. Which is, of course, deeply offensive to @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

This deeply unsettling account of dithering and a critical lost six weeks is what has the @POTUS in such a snit. https://t.co/jswpSHZIcz — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder if the president’s endless press conference today was a big middle finger to the @WSJ edit board and all those who told him not to overwork the COVID briefing show? — PolitiTweet.org
