Teacher Makes Personal Plea After Losing Husband To Covid-19 | Morning Joe | MSNBC
72% of America is pleading for leadership
@Frank Torres 👾I guess 72% was an underestimation. I expected 28% negative replies 😷 and I got only couple of handfulls of 14 year olds. Disappointing in a good way
Trump is a great leader. Maybe start listening.
@Dave Schultz Covid 19 likes to meet you
@Tera Tokomi boring. I think maybe the left has dissected all the intellectual right in trying to study what made them go extinct. What do you think?
Me : Personal Responsibility. Please Lord 🙏 don’t let covid catch me slipping.
Donald Trump is killing our country
I think his inner business man is showing and in a terrible way. Rhymes with dump.
oh give me a fricking break, what exactly is he suppose to do, he didnt invent the dam virus.
Society is moving on whether you die or not.
The NWO is, Trump is just another puppet, just like Biden.
Trump
Our Tragedy and Suffering is a Comedy Show to Trump and his MAGA Crowd…..😠😤
@Rosalyn Jeffery Do you mean people who can’t spell, and who sleep with their siblings ?
@Shawniemarie Moore Put on some underwear, and the smell will go away.
@Razvan Zamfir
NY TIMES– “ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS, WE PRINT”.
@Elizabeth long
Gotta keep the narrative from bottoming out.
@Change name to Squash
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪😶 Nothing.
As a homeless Native American all of you should of done what you should of . I’m going hungry because of people not doing right
@Richard Coccodrilli Great comment.
Homeless with a cell phone and time to watch YouTube but no time to get a job?
@diss tracks pro its clearly one of those Obama phones bro.
@Deathblooms9 dang roast
Lol sucks to be you
Vote for BIDEN 🇺🇸
HE WILL WORK HARD TO STOP
COVID- 19.
Every one stay safe
This Virus is real
Biden is no better. He said he wouldn’t have shut down travel from China in the beginning. Stop looking to politicians for solutions. It’s why our country is in the shape it’s in.
🖕
bruh with his dementia he probably doesnt even remember running for president. he has his wife remind him every morning
What would Biden do different ? Other than keep US doors open to the country where the disease started from? Perhaps he would appoint Hunter to sell US medical secrets to China for Cash?
D Brielmeier, how? How is Biden going to stop it? Is he some type of superhuman who can control an indiscriminate virus?
I’m so sorry for you and your children. This should never have happened.
Deeply sorry..Rip Rob..hope his wife & his kids forever strong together.. its time for Americans vote good leadert & bring back America to the top of humanity & serve for all
Im sure the dems will steal his vote
@Gabe Dudley epic
@Jeffrey Dahmer Troll !! I see you around. You are the Pervert! Why are you even here.? Go away Troll !
@Dawn Sandra him dying was between him and the Lord! Let’s eat!
Anyone that denies this devastating virus is a menace to society. My friends mother passed away DIRECTLY from the virus.
I’m so very sorry ❣🙏🏾
If you say so ?
@Allan Burns https://youtu.be/4G0o0qYLQhs yeah rite let me laugh 🤭
@Jeffrey Dahmer is that the best you got? Anything else you wanna shout into the wind mister troll baby
Okay???? You’re going to lie and say your mommy was perfectly healthy?
I think you’re lying
The most important day in modern history will be the day we know Donald Trump lost the election
@Janice Gullett I’m celebrating that glorious day! #ByeByeTrump
Amen, and hopefully convicted for tax evasion and other things…such an inept President.
Mabe the dems should have worked with him instead of against him with an impeachment process.we are paying them to do a job and they didn’t do it.
@Elizabeth long Trump cannot even work with his own team. There is one variable in this equation that doesn’t work well (or at all) with others. This is why democracy is actually at stake.
wont happen, sorry
Such a devastating story to hear. My deepest condolences to this family. And All families that are going thru this. What’s so disgusting about this Is that this could have been avoided. So many more will pass like this too.
Exactly how could it have been avoided?
Avoided by…..the husband not working? He was an officer. Essential employee.
everybody could avoid all kinds of things in their from happening but then you wouldn’t live life at all. We will all die some day it’s not if it’s when it is what it is.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I truly feel her loss. She’s not alone by any means. I’ve now lost FOUR to covid. My mother, father, uncle, and just three weeks ago my nephew. None had underlying conditions. They were all in very good health. My nephew was only 41. This could have been prevented.
@Trese O’Reilly I’m in the Dallas-Fort Worth metrplex in Texas.
whats your secret to longevity ? if your whole family is dropping like flies?
I don’t believe you.
I’m so so sorry. This virus has prevailed because of selfish people
It sure could have. What did your Governor of your state do? Your Mayor of your city?
Did they follow the CDC guidelines that were laid out back in Feb, March from the Federal level? The ones Dr. Fauci helped write? O, wait, I get it, this is just a political stunt to blame Trump only! Sad really.
Sorry to see this but we need more white families to come and testify! Because most of Americans thinks that black and brown people dying is ok. Thanks Joe and Mekia for bringing us this story!
How come Donald tRump has never offered any condolences to this devastated family or any of the 220,000 Americans who have died from Covid-19?
I like how people use trump as the scapegoat for a worldwide disease and each state has handled it differently some poorly even democrat run ones have done pretty bad. NYC for example under Cuomo and Diblasio have gotten worse and even more dangerous.
Ever heard of Life insurance? It’s money that’s given when someone dies. So the this family or the 220,000 Americans’ family members did get money.
You should be blaming china for this. They are the ones behind this
Right
Why is it Trump’s responsibility?
Awful. No family should ever have to go through this.
@Anto Capone because it’s an exaggerated (by at least 10 times) death rate.
Yea so dont get sick.
Every person, in every family, will go through this.
The Narrative, it seems, is the only thing that will never die. Anything and everything will be used as leverage against your mind.
@Christian Banuelos
Two months ago, and you’re “planning the funeral” now?
I will say no more.
@how cute oh man
There are 220000 families who are going through this loss prayers for all their families
Them dying was between them and the Lord! Let’s eat!
It’ll pass 350,000 by january 21st.
It will go away like a miracle, we are turning the corner… anytime now… anytime.
Oh, fun thought, it’s probably not quite 220,000 families because some families have probably had multiple losses.
@adamf663 may be 500,000
I’m so sorry for your loss Alice Roberts
Man, that’s a heart-breaking story!
What a horrendous lose to a wonderful family. Thanks to everyone for sharing.
Loss
My condolences to you and your family. My hero wears a badge too.
Cops are pigs
Ok Woody
@Michael M ignore him: he’s trolling I’m certain
Mika: empathy. Willie: empathy. Trump: it is what it is.
@Mo Mercado OK Mo. Get Larry and curly too and let us know HOW “He had a chance to stop the virus from entering this country and did nothing. ” ? When even the KING OF THE GEEKS, Chris Haiges, MSNBC, said “the Virus had already got into the country during the 6 weeks China hide it, what is point of travel ban”.
@Dilbert Doe That is name for a dummy right? Don’t falsely state a quote, that is the job of MSNBC & CNN.
Their empathy is useless. Trumps vaccines will save the rest of humanity.
700 people died of Covid today in Brazil…oh wait even that’s Trump fault,,,right ?
Him : NO Personal Responsibility 🤷♂️
