Dr. Bright Files Whistleblower Complaint Alleging Virus Warnings Were Ignored | Deadline | MSNBC
I love how Trump is criticizes China for hiding the severity of the virus while he himself didn’t listen to the warnings he received.
@Logical Psycho do you even know what “logic” means
@Kevin K I guess it looks that way to people who don’t understand and never studied foreign affairs, international politics, economics, science, diplomacy, other cultures, that the earth is round….
@Cher H narcissism is how democrats lose elections
@Cher H yes, can you logically explain why I’m wrong? Or will you just snipe impotently?
@Kevin K yeah, her basic answer to everything Is ” you’re stupid, shut up”
We need to protect this doctor
DARK PHOENIX 832 y’all need true mental health support
With all of the medical expert testimony given about the covid-19 virus, and this
moron president saying just the opposite, and lives lost, why hasn’t there been a
petition enacted to remove this imbecile from office, what more proof is necessary??!!! SMFH.
@slow motion The process of removing the POTUS is called impeachment. The dims already tried and failed.
@Bill Randleman REALLY? In what court cases in this country where NO witnesses are allowed? OH, perhaps where you’re from
in of those third world countries, right, got it.
@slow motion Maybe you’d like to go to the trouble of reading the Constitution. With the exception of the chief justice presiding over the Senate trial impeachment has absolutely nothing to do with the judicial branch or it’s processes. It is entirely a legislative process defined in the Constitution. The short version for you NOT A COURT CASE.
Butthurt you lost the election, butthurt the impeachment failed, and going to be more butthurt in November.
When you tell the truth or try doing the right thing,Trump removes you but this game is running out of players.
Yeah he said January jan 31 ban china doctors can’t be crooked they got everyone on well Texas using g Europe using they for lupus hows not whistle blowers 😂😂😂😂cnn msnbcsaid worry about the flu I feel Demi fluence cnn said would nt come here 😂😂
Good luck with that BS. You are such a tool. This guy is one of the reasons why they move slowly to create tests according to the people he worked with. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/22/hhs-ousts-vaccine-expert-as-covid-19-threat-grows-201642
We must all wake up and get that orange face, racist,womenizer and money stealing a hole out of office before he sale the country
@Lora Larose
Do you speak English?
@Lora Larose that was Trump who said that!
Que Faux news and trump cultists to start attacking Dr Bright. I still remember the scum attacking LTC Vindman not long ago. Shameful
@Jeff Gibson go back to russia
they’re bringing the trolls who can actually write in english, this is getting heavy, putin must be getting worried for comrade donovich
@bubba luv Just keep reading all the docs coming out of the FBI after 3 years.
@bubba luv the koolaid, the koolaid, oh so good.
@bubba luv maybe Trump would be better off handing whistleblowers the way Obama did. Charge them with treason and have them arrested.
THE US PUBLIC , HAS TO STAND UP WITH AND BEHIND DR. BRIGHT FOR THE TRUTH…
HOLD CLOROX DONNIE accountable…
@Bill Randleman First I served my country from 1968-1985, when I injuried out. I ask because one of the many things I( and many others) fought for was the right for us to hold our government accountable. That is the exact opposite of the CCP. So labeling someone as CCP just for exercising their right is offensive. Label a lot of people that way is at best suspect.
@Brad Quinn Nice story CCP.
@Bill Randleman You have not explained why after asking a simple question, you called me CCP. Did divine inspiration lead you to that conclusion? Would it not make more sense that you are from the CCP?
The thing we can do to stand up is VOTE.
@Sammy M. YES . VOTE for your life and your loved ones lives. Bidin 2020
This time they don’t get to whine about the identity of the whistleblower.
@Liam Wilson typo 😉
That says something, eh?
When are we going down to Chinatown?
The Bully Will Payoffs The Corrupts Reps, The Bully Puppets
@John Phantom Yes and whatever we have is scary for so many of us It is a system directly killing the tax payers literally and financially
@BrianDoubleCaff they have Trump to listen to as he worships racism Hates tax payers as the dirty little diseased masses that need thinning He is very unconcerned about your life and still has no tests ! You can be ill for 2 weeks with out any symptoms and infect 100’s 1000’s more ! Where the virus attacks and how your symptoms are are varied so it is not possible to be out and about with out at least being able to be certain you are not a killer
How much more America? Wake up!!!!
Time for heads on pikes
I’m now estimating 375,000 deaths by November. Hope I’m wrong but the numbers don’t lie.
How much more of trump’s corruption and incompetency are we willing to take?
Your talking about the corruption in the Democratic party here right?
Rose Phoenix huh? I cannot understand wtf you are trying to say?
@David Perez dont feed the trolls David
televise it like the impeachment WE ARE HOME.
Do your math … USA Doing well compared to other countries per Million …Germany is the WORST .. such BS …MSNBC
@Super USER You better check your math’s
haha right on!
@Super USER World’s cases as of May 5, 2020 @ 7:33 pm California time: 3,659,271 Now U.S. cases: 1,233,146 and that is 33% of the world’s cases. However, the USA has only about 4.2% of the world’s population. And, we haven’t tested most people.* Which is also true for many countries. So, we have a disproportionate number of cases, we are the worst country in the world right now. But wait, Russia, where Putin said that he had it under control, is reporting like 10,000 new cases per day, as they are testing people. Just don’t ask what happened to some doctors who refused to lie for Putin. Three doctors in Russian flew off the windows in some hospitals. Funny thing, they must have felt like Superman, with a little help of Vlad’s boys.
said the organ trafficking CHinee
An American Hero. I sure hope we are all standing behind this REAL PATRIOT
Nice job thowing in a few subscriptions on the burner account CCP.
It’s not sloppy behaviour Its corruption in plain sight.
No
@jb pb no jelly boy peanut butter, i was mentioning a not so democratic way of voting… when 1 vote does not count as 1, it s all gone down PB alley… but if you read again my reply, you ll be able to get it, let me know if you need help buddy, all my love mate, we re all in this 1 2gthr. XO
@Druca Ferreira
I read it 4 more times. I still find it confusing.
Sorry, I wasn’t on the same page.
@jb pb a list like that for Trump and McConnell would take a month of writing all day every day. Probably longer.
Should we go down to Chinatown and talk about it?
I just can’t believe all this is going down in the United States. People around the world are looking at us in total disbelief.
@Mercedes making money
Not if they watch FOX in America and SKY news in Australia. All Murdoch’s minions here never talk about Trumps outrageous displays of stupidity, they are raging to get the country open again, they talk about how he’ll win again in November.
John Brown is my hero
@J Hutch You Know the Senate is apart of Congress, Right?
Yes we are john,sorry to say this your great country is on its knees.mark twain the great American author would turn in his grave.
The only response from this WH is abuse, bullying and name calling. Doesn’t matter who or what they did, response is always the same.
@Thorndog https://youtu.be/B0NhA4oBGuc this is a prooff
@Thorndog
No, we would like a real man/woman in the white house instead of this traitorous lowlife POS. I can get my own cheese.
Thorndog Hi Dornthog. You Russians need to come up with better puns.
Response is always the same, gain is the name of the game.
The irony of MSNBC comments
But, but Susan Collins says she thought he had learned his lesson. All of the republicans in the senate are to blame for this. Party over people is hopefully coming back to haunt them
orphan 200 *Thank you for carefully considering both candidates before choosing. .. Sincerely.* 🙏🏻
You guys are funny. Collins doesn’t care, cause she already made her money
@Mrdumbfellow Maybe she is saying the obvious. She doesn’t like AOC but the alternative of putting another Trump enabling but kisser in office is the greater of her two perceived evils. So you not her said she is voting against her own interest just not to vote republican. She was not voting republican because that would be more against her interest than AOC. Apparently she is a conservative or moderate democrat or independent that disagrees with liberal AOC, but she disagrees more with the republican agenda under Trump of looting the US treasury for the rich and putting the average taxpayer in astronomical eternal debt, so a very few can rule over the vast majority and determine the quality of their lives through bribed government. Plutocracy supplanting democracy.
@Triandis Crim The only reason she stated for not voting for AOC’s opponent was it would give Republicans another seat.
The fact that she specifically mentioned this reason seems to imply it was the main reason for not voting for AOC’s opponent.
I also find the reply of “yeah well Republicans vote party over ideas too!” a weird argument. Those people have it wrong as well 😕
@Zed Cartwright Zed Cartwright
Boy you are saying a lot there and I’m on my phone so I’ll make it short.
You are assuming WAY more of her thought process than I did. SHE SPECIFICALLY mentioned it was because the opponent would give a seat to a Republicans. That was the entire body of her post. She didn’t mention bad ideas or worse than AOC, she mentioned party seat only…….. Under an original comment regarding Republicans voting for party over everything else……. obvious meaning is obvious.
I also enjoy the implication that if the opponent happens to be republican they would automati all support everything Trump does. Are you insane? For that matter do you think every Democrat supported all of Obama’s policies? Of course they may vote for things Trump agrees with, but you won’t find out more about the candidate if you simply skip over a (R) or (D) on your voting ballot.
Also Trumps tax cuts did not only benefit the rich. Don’t believe me look up any study with actual cited tax info on each income bracket. Benefits to Middle and Lower classes were included.
Regarding debt, I hate it too but stating that debt is a Republican only issue is really disingenuous don’t you think? Democrats at the federal level and especially Democrat-run cities are notorious for debt spending.
Lastly your plutocrat statement is hilarious when you consider there are basically no poor people in higher levels of power and that most senators and presidents are exceptionally wealthy. Is Trump the first rich guy in power? Also how is he so power-hungry when he repeatedly gives the federal government LESS power and size? At the very least I would be more concerned about a president GROWING the power and size of government.
This doesn’t mean I don’t get sick of hearing Trump speak and some of the bone-headed stuff he says (I wanted Ted Cruz for the record).
But I also get sick of the media (grown adults) implying he told people to drink fish tank cleaner. Or that we need to spend a week talking about the president accidentally describing treatment procedures incorrectly so it sounds like disinfectant being infected. And of course Trump can’t be man-enough to admit he misspoke……
But thank God he didn’t mention the benefits of open heart surgery, because plenty of idiots in the media would claim people were going to cut their own hearts open at home because of Trump.
All of these people doing this instead of focusing on facts and info.
God help us!
What’s really screwed up is there are a lot of religious people who STILL believe Trump was sent by God.
THEIR GOD being SATAN, of course.
@slow motion Excuse me did ya know your boy committed Treason and a failed coup attempt on my Great Donald Trump??? It’s all over the news!!! Oh yes a real Godly man? Geeeez
Hey Freddie!!! Did ya know your boy committed Treason and a failed coup attempt on my man, Trump? It’s all over the news if you get the correct sources hypocrite!!! So you call Obummer a Godly man by having FBI. And.CIA smear a innocent men and destroy a country??? Geeerez your a sicko
@mike tyson Mike you speak the truth!!! These are mixed up liberals with their ignorance showing!!!
@Olfin Bedwier Very well said in your comment which is 100% truth!!!! I remember the MSM and Demmycraps screaming to high heaven at Trump for travel ban but he ignored the demons!!!! Trump may have saved millions!!! China is the enemy who lied to Trump. Right??? You did good putting those weirdos in place. Thanks
A sad time in our history when a patriot is dammed as un-American.
@beans AGAIN, not all science is still left in the state of theory. There are theories that have been proven, have they not?
Because all trump is capable of doig is lying ,twisting words and looking after his rich cronies. Why working class people were deluded into thinkig he wuld do anything to help them is beyond me. Are people really that gullible?
Sad time indeed….so what are we gonna DO about it?? Continue to wring our hands and let them do whatever they want while we continue to play by the rules of “civilized” engagement????
Why don’t we go down to Chinatown and talk about it. Don’t worry about the virus, you racist.
@Cher H Well thanks for your reply. Much of science is unknown to mankind. My son spent many years in medical research for treatments in cancer and biological warfare anti-toxins since the funds were available for cancer research and biological warfare agents, where other fields were not as heavily funded. The more he was able to accomplish, the more obvious we knew so little about the science of the human body and the causes and effects of organic and inorganic substances. My own academic studies were more specific in astrophysics of our universe which we know so very little. It was before the Hubble telescope that allows scientists to observe objects 15 billion light years away, now. WOW!!! All the stuff now that we can learn about, that was impossible 30 years ago. Yeah, much of science is still unknown, but progress is slowly being made by a few people willing to use what they have learned and build on to it. You have no idea……
Why is it that EVRYTHING related to Trump is a scandal, a wrong doing, a corrupt action??? How much more are Americans going to take???
The guy got fired, his job wasn’t a life long appointment.
He thinks he was too special to get fired not a normal person.
Cheryl H I’ll take comfort knowing you’ll be miserable for the next four and a half years after he’s re-elected 😀
if this is in the phillipins…the people power would have been on the street…to kickout the culprit.
Mercedes it seems trump doesn’t care what kind of publicity he gets as long as it gets people talking about him. He is a brand. He promotes his brand and not much else.
@taylor Taylor, and I think he is not right in the head. He probably has dementia.
When Do We STOP Pretending We Have A POTUS Who Cares About Anything Except Himself!!!!!!!!…70,000 Dead In 6 Weeks….You Do The Math Until November Election!!!!!…WE DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN TRUMP ADMINISTRATION……!!!!!!
Kevin K – You mean the landslide in November 2018.
@Shirley Rombough Biden is done on the first debate. One and done
@Marilyn Cwik democrats? you mean every sane person in america is going to get out to vote
3000 plus died they call it 911(september 11)…what shall we call this CLOROX DON massecar or killing of 70,000 and still counting…CLOROX DON 2020
@VV Mustaffa 17,500 died under H1N1 Barack Obama and the news media quickly swept it under the rug. Of course that was a very different strain of corona
This has got to even worse than anyone thought it could be ? Give that Doctor a secure guard 24/7 until he can appear in public.
So you think this Liberal Hack is a “Whistleblower”??
What about the 100s of Doctors and Nurses blowing the whistle on this Hoax “Pandemic”, on Yutube? You Liberals are Pathetic!
proof https://youtu.be/uRjnbCb8Q5Q
@Mind Freshener hoax?… could you please go to a protest rally with no mask on and start hugging some of the mob, or catch a movie in a crowded theater….
Just do something outside the confines of a safe place.
Thank you….
You test this hoax, personally.
I agree
Not till after he goes down to Chinatown and shows he’s not a racist
Corruption, cover ups, stalinist purging of experts and people speaking truth to power, shutting down of oversight and refusing to allow experts to testify to the people’s House. So just another day in this Dumpster fire administration.
@MR Nooneyman 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖
How is it you people are so concerned about one groups corruption while completely ignoring the corruption in your party? Do you understand why your not taken seriously?
@MR Nooneyman When one of them is the President and doing the same thing in the middle of a National emergency they should be held accountable also, good try at deflecting though.
@Bono Budju Do you not see the Hypocrisy in your comment? How are you people to be taken seriously when you ignore the criminal acts being committed by the top Democrats?
@ursula mittmann who says he’s trashing the country? You and Rachel madcow, perhaps if you watched a little news you would be more informed.
“I’ve seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are. It reveals who you are.” – Michelle Obama
Never thought that that quote made sense. To have something revealed to you essentially means that you’ve changed your perspective to be able to see it.
The statement means that who you are is revealed to everyone else. Like when someone says “Oh but I thought he was such a nice guy.” No he was only pretending to be a nice guy. You just couldn’t see it.
