'If Obama Was POTUS, This Would Not Have Happened': GOP Veteran Unloads On Trump Virus Response
Steve Schmidt certainly articulates what is going on here well.
@Terry Williams Even trailer trash would have made a better president.
Yes – extremely well spoken and truthful. Ex-republican Steve Schmidt is a genuine American.
@CITRUS KNIGHT You are a Trumper as ignorant as Trump.
And probably as sour as your
appropriate CITRUS cover up
name……
From Katrina to Corona: What have we Learned?
Can you imagine how many people must have thought something was wrong in that I waited 14 years before I put out my blessed book about Hurricane Katrina? They don’t realize and they don’t understand the significance of the number 14 (See Matt chap 1). But God knows what He’s doing. So He had me to put out my blessed book in August of 2019 (14 years after Katrina hit New Orleans). Again, there was no other preacher in the entire city ministering to the people but me (by the grace of God and to His glory). Wait a minute!
The world was not going to see a 15 years after Katrina before God showed the world a Corona.
So, my God had me put out my blessed book “God my Refuge: My Personal Katrina Story,” showing the world (in dramatic fashion) God’s power on my behalf throughout that devastating event, and warning the world to get ready for something.
My blessed book touched 7 months (August, September, October, November, December, January, and February): The first death from the Coronavirus in the United States was February 28th 2020. Let me tell you something, 7 is the number of completion (or fullness), my friends. And just like God had me preaching in New Orleans for 8 years and seven months before He devastated it with Katrina, His timing continues to be shown as perfect with the Coronavirus situation.
The problem is not that God didn’t send Noah to warn the people: That’s not why the people drowned. The people drowned because they doubted the preaching of Noah. God told Ezekiel to warn the wicked (whether they hear you are not), tell them what I told you to tell them, and God will deal with people on how they respond. My job is just to tell you what God says, yes, to tell you. You can hate me, you can talk about me, you can think all type of evil about me, but God has the final say so in every situation; and I’ll let God deal with the wicked while I continue to follow Jesus, by the grace of God and to His glory.
What have we learned? 👉🏽📖🙏🏽

And its that sliver tongue of his that some GOP practice so well to convince people like yourself that despite them playing a MASSIVE role in creating trumpism they are somehow honorable, decent. I both like how well Steve articulates a message. He is THE master a it, but…I also recognize that same talent has been used to sow the seeds of discord in our politics today so I can’t and won’t let him off the hook….ever.
“Confederacy of Dunces.”
And he said it with a strait face too. Lol
@CPG Berks Cat Bill Yeah, you should switch back to Fox News for some fair and balanced reporting.
@Kevin Jackson anyone can refute that B.S.
James Heffernan James, on a scale of 1-10, how moronic would you say you are. Did you bust a nut when writing that? Because, you you have the emotions of a junior high male … or female, actually. Something tells me your mother, while she says she loves you, thinks you come up short between the ears.
@CPG Berks Cat Bill Not!!
IT’S THE TITLE OF A FAMOUS NOVEL. MORON.
The Confederacy of Dunces is so perfect I’m taking it.
Me too
Doubt you ever read John Kennedy O’Toole
Steve Schmidt has used that phrase many times before. It’s one of his go-to’s. Not knocking it! Schmidt is always eloquent and cogent and gets right to the core of the matter every time he speaks.
@DianaDeLuna I assumed so, too clever not too.
Well for one thing Obama would have known way ahead of time because of his Pandemic Response Team.
@ThatsMrsB2U! Bud has jumped out a window I think – can’t get him on the line
@Greylan Can you point me to the story where you got this idea, that he banned only Chinese passengers? Are you talking about the people he let come HOME?
@diascrive Yes.
You know when someone lies is when a fact check is not done. The Pandemic Response Team was Bush time. Obama inherited the team when he became President like Trump inherited the team.🤦♀️
@Gigi W But didn’t he dismantle it, thinking it was Obama’s baby? Thought I heard that somewhere. Someone fact check that for me. Thanks.
I miss President Obama.
Me too, and I’m not even American. Greetings from Mexico.
emi Underwood
Bc you’re stupid
Obama misses being POTUS.

Although I’m glad to see that Steve Schmidt came to his senses, we should remember that he, like all the rest of his fellow party mates, are the reason we are where we are today with regard to trumpism. They created the conditions that has allowed this perversion of politics. And now that they don’t like the Frankenstein monster they created, it seems fitting that they should be responsible for its takedown.
Stormsteed Amen.
It is true. It is not too. We as a country must vote him out.
I agree that the group that created the Lincoln Project are partially responsible for Trumpism. Rick Wilson often states “this is not the Republican Party I grew up with” (or something to that effect).
Rick flipped quick
a republican who hasn’t drank the trump kool-aid. you don’t see that every day.
Curt Randall
He actually left the Republican Party. This title is misleading but not surprised because it came from MSNBC.
Schmidt has been a paid MSNBC stooge for six years. Where have you been?
I don’t care what anybody says, I love a good Steve Schmidt rant!
My cats could have handled this mess better.
This comment is a perfect example of why the do nothing Democrats are so useless.

A potted plant would’ve handled this pandemic better and been far more productive.
Remember in November what you must do vote in the 2020 election to change the current situation in the Whitehouse.
David Rook seems after every republican administration leaves a mess a Democrat will fix it
AS LONG AS THE CANDIDATE IS BETNIE WR CAN WIN. BUDEN OR SHITLDRY WILL BE IGNORED W A VENGENCE.
Who would want that. Trump 2020.
@David Rook Too late the Right is already JUST ABout DONE W THAT BRAIN DEAD.
This is what Republicans get for blindly sticking with Trump and not allowing anyone else to challenge him. I would’ve voted for Bill Weld.
OMG Dunce caps. I thought they were hoods. Well, a confederacy of dunces may have both.
You Must Follow Jesus Christ “Yourself.”
Don’t look for somebody else’s good relationship with the Lord to save you. Your family members can’t save you. Your parents, your aunties and uncles, your nieces and nephews, nobody can save you but you.
You have to surrender to Jesus Christ personally in order to be saved, even from the Wrath of God through the diseases that God can send up on various lands. Listen, to what the Word of the Lord says:
Ezekiel 14
19“Or if I (GOD) send a horrible disease into that land and pour out My fury on it in blood, and destroy from it humans and animals, 20even though Noah, Daniel, and Job (righteous servants of God) were in it, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”
God is not going to save your children because you’re living right. Your children have to live right on their own. Everybody have to serve Jesus Christ individually. We can pray for our family and encourage them to live right: We can live right before them. But nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, parents, and everybody have to live for Jesus Christ individually.
You can’t get to Heaven on somebody else’s lifestyle: You have to have your own righteous lifestyle before God through faith in Jesus Christ in order to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. And even when it comes to you escaping various plagues that God can plague a land with, if that plague has purpose for Wicked people, you have to make sure you’re not a wicked person. God is not going to protect you from the plague (horrific disease, sickness, or virus) just because somebody else is living right. You have to live right. You can’t be Wicked and think your family member’s lifestyle is going to save you. It may help, but ultimately, God is going to look at you individually. That’s why Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt when she looked back. She was escaping the land. Even though Lot didn’t look back, she had to not look back individually in order not to become a pillar of salt. But she looked back and became a pillar of salt.
Lot still escaped, and I thank God for a holy wife, a righteous wife, the blessed wife that He has blessed me with; and I thank God that, by His grace, I’m living for Him. But we still have to live for the blessed Lord individually, even though we’re husband and wife. So whoever you are out there, I want to encourage you to surrender to Jesus Christ because no one likes to see our family members not saved, our loved ones not on God’s team. So I want to encourage you family (wherever you are) even if I don’t know you (stranger, as I don’t really call anybody my friend because I can count on one hand the people I call friend, and they’re family, and GOD is my FRIEND) to surrender to Jesus Christ individually because God is going to be looking at your lifestyle when it comes to protecting you from certain diseases.
Now, that is not to say that Holy people can’t get sick from things that are “Not” specifically targeting the wicked because we can. Nevertheless, there are certain judgments of God that are designed to punish the wicked. I’m not saying that the Coronavirus is such a disease, but don’t take any chances. It’s always better to live right anyways (particularly when it comes to being allowed into God’s glorious Kingdom of Heaven), because no one can get to Heaven being wicked. Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Amen.

They come with the fiery truth about that one guy. Never thought I would say it but thank God there are some sensible folk on the other side.
love Grace I’m sure your a great person. I’m sure your following what you feel like God put you here on earth for and I commend you for that. But I take issue with Christians as a whole, for thinking trump is the second coming. And I have issue with the ones that don’t think that, for not taking a stance against that type of thinking. I grew up in a Southern Baptist environment and even though I’m not as devoted to it as I once was when I was young, I still know the ins and outs. I don’t believe God has the ability to change any course we set ourselves on. I do believe he has a plan for us when we are born. And no one should question that path we take. God may have made a human with the inability to control urges or addictions to show us what happens when you abuse such things. He may tell a preachers daughter to work at a bar to get patrons to come to their church. We all have our own path to take and the Bible is the guide. That’s why when someone quotes scripture to another, it may mean something totally different to the other person. It’s different for everyone. And when Christians except that, they will truly be “saved”.
Thank you Steve for telling the truth.
Obama handled h1n1. The country stayed open and we were vaccinated.
Apples to oranges comparison, dingus.
PREACH!! I can’t agree with anything more! Trump has got to go. It was clear from the beginning he was unfit for leadership of this country.
Yassss #Confederacy of Dunces! Who is selling T-Shirts, I want to buy one now.
I doubt there’s another president in history who have handled this pandemic as badly as Trump.
Well cuz you hate him – others will say he handled this brilliantly – cuz they love him. See the stupidity and you are part of it
diascrive Good God look at it objectively. He’s an unmitigated disaster. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed anymore. Just open up and tell the truth. We will forgive u and ur cult , everyone makes mistakes. Let it go man, you’ll feel much better!!!!
Remember when he did it was the new Democrat hoax? Now the virus has touched the very inner circle of his. Is it still a hoax Donald Trump?
Awesom2beme lonestar, That “hoax” statement wasn’t his true belief. It was a calculated lie of propaganda meant to help his campaign. It was meant solely for the ears of his base to hear and believe. He KNEW it was a lie, when he said it. It wouldn’t surprise me, with all the projection, if the Viral Pandemic was a friggin hoax by other powerful rightwinged Elites the World over. But, I kind of doubt that the Pandemic is a hoax. No matter what I’ve heard.
“CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES”… LOVE IT!!!
Reopen the economy because my emolument income is plummeting and I can’t play golf.

Reopen the economy so I can pay my bills.
