Distraction

McConnell made the comments during a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt.

“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial filme kostenlos downloaden legal gratis ohne anmeldung. And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” the Kentucky Republican recalled herunterladen.

I will say these two additional things: 1) as I retweeted a little bit earlier, when I said “thrust is correct” I was not talking about thrust of the argument, but that I had captured the general intent of McConnell’s words even though I was unable to quote herunterladen. 1/2

Consumed With Impeachment

“I have to tell you that in mid-January and late-January, unfortunately, Washington, especially the Congress was consumed with another matter — you may recall the partisan impeachment of the president,” Cotton explained mp3 converter german free.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, credited Trump’s travel restrictions – implemented in the midst of the impeachment effort – with saving lives.

One of the key actions necessary to control the spread of the virus, Fauci explained, is to “contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside.”

In late January, while Democrats were entirely focused on impeachment, President Trump would issue travel restrictions with China, establish the Coronavirus Task Force, and declare coronavirus a public health emergency.

Imagine what could have been done – better planning to respond to the crisis, economic measures to stop job losses – if Democrats focused on America instead of their own political ambitions.
