A former top aide to Vice President Mike Pence assailed President Donald Trump's response to the pandemic in a new video adding to the growing list of former Trump administration officials who have criticized the President and, in several cases, endorsed his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.
Olivia Troye, who was a homeland security adviser to Pence and his lead staffer on the White House's Coronavirus Task Force, charged in the two-minute video that Trump failed to protect the American public because he only cared about himself and getting reelected. Troye's criticism is particularly striking because of her role working on the coronavirus task force, which Pence leads.
"We knew that there were going to be increasing cases, we knew that people were going to die," said Troye, who left the White House in late July. "But the President didn't want to hear that, because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year, and how was this going to affect what he considered to be his record of success?"
A White House official said Troye "never once expressed any concern about the administration's handling and routinely claimed she 'just wanted to do right by the VP and POTUS.'"
"This is yet another example of someone who had proximity to power, yet didn't use their voice to speak up at horrors they allegedly witnessed. The president would never say any such thing," the official said.
At one coronavirus task force meeting, Troye claimed that Trump suggested "maybe this Covid thing is a good thing."

@Bubbles And what planet are you from? If earth, put your tin hat back on and lock yourself back in the basement.
@Mark shaz Why are you so afraid of alternative perspectives? Do you actually believe it’s one side or nothing? Medicare for all vs nothing? I mean at least watch MSNBC…
@dadey Aki Most amusement you’ve getting on a while on CNN

Don the Con would not ever mingle with 99.99% of his base!
But hey, they still love, worship and defend him and his disgusting behaviors.
@Julie Ake what 200 thousand Americans?
Danie B Right , Democrats kills babies ,police officers , and burn buildings destroy society you’re right I don’t have any compassion for you Democrats !!!
@Danie B … Once tiny embryo born too f*ckn bad now Republicans want u to die uninsured. Sorry, u got born now Republicans hate ya for existing! Sorry!! Hopes and prayers!!! 🤦🏼♂️🇺🇲👍
@Julie Ake… Republicans don’t care who dies as long as it doesn’t impact their families. Since they aren’t wearing masks one HAS to assume there are a lot of new widows and widowers regretting the arrogance of their mates … ?
Republicans voted for these monsters have to be dying at higher rates there is no bigger failure than impacting the Safety Metric 🤷♂️😷🇺🇲🌊👍
@Julie Ake you really drank that cool aid didn’t you. Put them skinny jeans on and go to a BLM March and cry about that white guilt tell everyone how racist they are anyway who believes CNN is weak minded. Leave me alone sweet hearts or physical come to me bye bye
Well how long did it take you to find that out!
Trump: She was just a coffee girl.
Even a coffee girl can hear and see truth in a company. Stay strong Olivia, the WH for the next few days will try to discredit you and shame you. Fight back. We believe you. That orange man is a true evil low life POS.
SOON, TRUMP WILL BE THE COFFEE BOY AT RIKER’S FOR MS13
For once I agree with Trump, I wouldn’t want to shake his supporters hands either.
iBounty_hunt yes Trump is still doing all those things.
Do you know how dumb you sound you all are going to be So sad when he wins!
@iBounty_hunt WhutaboutwhataboutwhutaboutwhataboutwhataboutwhataboutwhataboutwhataboutwhataboutBenghaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Kody Choates your boy better make a move he is losing in almost every swing state. Remember your boy only won by the slimmest of margins and now people have had four years to learn what a subhuman he is.
😂🤣
Won’t make any difference to his supporters. I am sure even when he says he doesn’t want to shake hands to his supporters at his rallies, they still won’t care.
Oh you speak the truth…they are so disturbingly brainwashed.
Jim Jones to his FOLLOWERS they won’t CARE.
@Meridien that’s what Jim Jones did with followers before he had them drink the poison.
When she said disgusting ppl I’m thinking Pelosi comey rioters twisters and spinners cnn fakers etc etc
Yes because they are so stupid 🤷🏽♂️
The president only cares about getting reelected because if he does not get reelected he’s going to go to jail . Financial fraud and tax evasion!
After watching Biden’s town hall tonight I don’t think trump has to worry about it, here’s Biden’s welcome home tonight on the road leading to his cnn scripted town hall https://www.facebook.com/698336768/posts/10157616825406769/
can’t wait
@Marina Gonzalez bot go back to Russia
@democrats are anti American democrats hate America you’re sick and please go back to Russia you bot
Diane Mayer Ancil So why would Pence pardon him? Who will pardon Pence?
Trump has a long and well documented history of getting rid of anyone who opposes or disagrees with him. People in the White House know that. Why would she try to use her voice when working in proximity to power when Trump constantly shows he only want to hear his own. Thankfully she has had the courage now to speak up before the election.
@Connie Toong All you’ve got is whataboutism? 😴🤡🤡🤡🤡
You’d have to be a total idiot to speak against Trump while working in the White House. Look how afraid all the GOP riffraff is of Trump. All the grown-up men, cowering like babies! I just hope Trump doesn’t start poisoning dissenters like his bosom buddy Putin.
In order to be effective, all the ors must be going in the same direction.
Andrew Ball look !!! —- https://youtu.be/Xwp9XLShvGw
@Denise M PERHAPS THE TRAITOR WILL BE POISONED
I hope he denies calling his,supporters “disgusting” and then like everything else…a week later a recording comes out lol.
@Pam Schobelock God you people are ignorant !! 😂
Phinneas Bluster haven’t watched the link yet. But I hope it’s the one showing him lying one of the other times he ran for president, or the speech he copied and lied about, or the video showing how much he’s gone downhill mentally In just the last 4 years. I acually like Biden as a person. Other than being agressive and attacking people at rallies. He seems like a nice guy. But he is no leader of a county unless it’s North Korea or China.
Anyway gonna watch the video now. Unlike you guys I try to find info on both bad and good.
Only thing they’ll do is drink some bleach and call it kool aid .. Then say she apart of the deep state 😷😷😷😷
@B ee so putin let’s you bots watch videos ? 😂
@B ee
I respectfully disagree, I recommend looking into this and go beyond talking points. The truth is better than the fiction as well, I bet you didn’t know who the J in Trumps name is from do you?
You know so much propaganda what facts, hopefully you answer because it will blow your mind.
” Nobody in the world knows more about disgruntled employees than I do. That nobody has ever know before. Believe me. Nobody.”
But there’s is way to many employees complaining so your saying there all in complaining together
????
The trumpys lost another one
Lol
The fact that she is not releasing a book makes her 10x more credible.
Not everybody can write a book, my friend
@Tim onriver
If you’re saying she’s full if BS…then yes.
@Mech0p well I don’t know about that. Trump calls everything a hoax or fake news but never provides any proof to validate his claims.
@Steven Wiederholt the lady is a lifelong republican and was well respected by her peers …..in both parties.
give it time.. 🙂
Yet another story that fits his personality to a T, so I totally believe what she says. It matches.. because he literally did NOTHING.
He DID lie to make certain nobody else did anything either.
I can believe he said it, it sounds like him. Disgusting and disturbing!
@Zoomerangs don’t you losers have a sharpie marker to rage over? Notice how you freaks outrage over a Twitter typos for 2 weeks?
Don’t worry I’ll be safe fool.@Joe Biden will impose forced vaccinations on you
@Lexi Cat OH REALLY!! Sounds like something trumpatard would do.
@emmitte riddle Yep, he was horrible then too!
I had a bright spot in my day, today riding through Plaza-Midwood in Charlotte I saw a sign, “Presidents are Temporary, Wu-Tang is Forever” !!!
The Riza, the Giza…..🥰
QC
😂😂😂
He calls his supporters “disgusting people” and they praise him. It’s nuts.
tracy bird I understand. There is no way to communicate with a Trumpster. At least amoeba react to stimuli like light or electricity. Trumpsters are so damned stupid they are dumber than amoeba.
And biden has said that black people arent black if they dont vote for him and also that they arent a very diverse group of people when it comes to thought but I assume those are ok right? Oh and the difference is that what biden said is 100% verifiable but this allegation is just that an allegation. The problem with yall is that anything you hear automatically become truth even if there is nothing
Benjamin Perez The bottom line: Trumpsters are so mentally ill that they will support someone like Trump and republicans knowing they will get hurt because they perceive others will be hurt more. Trumpsters and republicans are demented evil people. I’ve never known amine republican who is a practicing Christian. They despise all of Jesus’ teachings and they hate the poor, hungry, vulnerable, sick, minorities, etc. They are evil people.
@Man Yogurt. You do not have self respect or dignity, so how can you expect anyone to show any respect for you? That is what you are showing to the world with your own comment. Trump suppoters are his brainless puppets. There is nothing in this world more degrading. You people are letting another man manage you like a marionette. Very authentic! The world is laughing at you people. You are “The weak clowns without FREEWILL.” What a loss of self-respect; humiliating.
@Kelly Save me no, he lied about it, doorknob. We’ve all heard it! 🙄🙄🙄
The “Trump base” will call her a traitor. They will never believe the truth…SMH…
@Plane Fan
Stop it get some help 🤣
@ernest noble
And you’re so honest, I’m sure 🤣
@jr goxy seriously how can yall support this man still. how mnay people have to come forward even his own family says it. yall claim to be woke but na yall are living in ALTERNATIVE FACT REALITIES
@jr goxy
Try answering the questions. Seriously, how many people have to say this president is crazy before you get it?
@Justin Mashburn
Alternative facts reality? You sound like the ones that demand they be identified by their preferred pronoun lol
I’m sorry, but if you this many “disgruntled employees; “ you can rest assured that the problem isn’t with the employees. It’s most likely the employer.
@liberal slayer
Trump paid his mistress to have an abortion, hypocrisy to the max.
@liberal slayer I think just the way you are thinking. Something went sour and she didn’t like it so she is coming up with all this mess. Sure let her go to Biden if that Trash gets in the whole Nation is screwed. It will become Communist. This is not a good thing.
liberal slayer …I was in Vietnam also the last thing I want is a fascist president. You do the country no honor supporting trump, remember trump said soldiers are losers and trump dodged the draft because of phony bone spurs yet that hasn’t slowed his golf game the only thing he’s done. That and divide America. Vote trump out and show you are American, don’t disgrace America with with your support of this fascist pig of a president
@liberal slayer
I don’t believe in abortion but I seen women trying to commit suicide because they got pregnant from their dad’s, other women who gotten raped by multiple guys and gotten pregnant, they try committing suicide because they were forced to have the babies. Who are we to decide for them.
@Rebecca Roberts I don’t even know why I’m talking to these assholes honestly you know it’s a waste of my energy and time but you know the liberals are going to definitely they’re like sheep they’re going to follow right off the cliff with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and you know the rest of the communist liberal party not much we can do to change at the only thing we can do is prevent Biden and Harris from getting in the office and got to show up and vote that’s all we can do so it’s pretty sad our country is turning s*** I used to be a Democrat and vote nothing but Democrat I don’t even recognize the Democratic party it is such a mess and my parents came over here you know to the United States back in the 1930s to get away from communism and socialism and all that you know it’s so I take it kind of personal what’s going on.
“When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them…
Captain DiTrag 😂😂😂You just described Trump’s America. He’s the stuff that comes out of those sub-human mongrels’ backside who thinks you are disgusting and doesn’t want to shake your hand because he will catch your poor. Who partied with child-molesting Epstein. Who admitted on tape that he is a failure and liar. Dude, don’t look now but your clown car is on fire. She
