“No one I’ve spoken with at the Post can figure out why we published this story,” said one prominent reporter at the paper. “We blew up this woman’s life for no reason.” A phenomenal piece from ⁦@Olivianuzzi⁩ and ⁦@jbarro⁩ https://t.co/CVEnAERZDs — PolitiTweet.org

Last month Lindsey Graham told me that success for Trump in battling the pandemic would be limiting American deaths to 120 thousand. We’ve now crossed that line. https://t.co/1mYyC9Kf59 — PolitiTweet.org

But Fauci did agree with Pence on one thing. “People keep talking about a second wave,” he told the newspaper. “We’re still in a first wave.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

...congregating close to lots of people in large venues, and an aversion to mask-wearing would cause the disease to spread. Pence is scheduled to be with Trump at a rally in Tulsa, Okla. on Saturday, while Fauci told NPR that he hasn’t talked to Trump in two weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

By this afternoon, the news pages of the Journal contradicted much of what Pence had to say. In an interview with the paper, Fauci reiterated that the jump in cases “cannot be explained by increased testing.” He warned that relaxed approaches to social distancing, such as... — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

“In the past 5 days,” he wrote, “deaths are down to fewer than 750 a day, a dramatic decline from 2,500 a day a few weeks ago and a far cry from the 5,000 a day that some were predicting.” This purportedly tolerable rate of 750 dead Americans a day would equal 270k deaths a year. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

Perhaps most telling, Pence made it clear that the effort to eliminate the disease before a vaccine is ready is not really the goal anymore. Instead, Pence argued that the White House now measures success by a lower level of daily deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

The op-ed cherry-picked some positive statistics—there are of course bright spots—and emphasized the administration’s record in increasing testing and pumping up the manufacture of personal protective equipment. He boldly predicted a vaccine would be available “by the fall.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

is simply a function of more testing. In a WSJ piece published today, headlined “There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave,’” Pence wrote, “The media has tried to scare the American people every step of the way, and these grim predictions of a second wave are no different.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza

Pence abruptly reinvented himself as a coronavirus skeptic this week, with comments and an op-ed that stray into pandemic denialism. In a conference call with governors, Pence incorrectly argued Monday that the spike in cases that almost half of the states are experiencing... — PolitiTweet.org

Fauci the doomsayer, Trump the misinformed optimist, and Pence the child of a troubled marriage trying to smooth things over during mom and dad’s public fights. — PolitiTweet.org

Mike Pence, the chair of the president’s coronavirus task force, often played the role of bridge between the factions. At the awkward task force briefings that dominated afternoon television in March and April, the three roles of the three men played out as theater: — PolitiTweet.org

...the perils Americans face. President Trump has been the reluctant warrior against the disease who took some major steps early on but soon grew impatient of the stay-at-home restrictions, the masks, and—most of all—the economic calamity that might jeopardize his re-election. — PolitiTweet.org

VEEP IN THOUGHT — Since February there has been a rift inside the White House between the scientists and the politicians over how to contain the spread of coronavirus. Anthony Fauci has been the consistent advocate of a forceful response and an opponent of any sugar-coating of... — PolitiTweet.org
