Public Health Luminary Encourages CDC Director Redfield To Stand Up To Trump | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
A sociopath willing to let his most adamant followers die for a rally;
will have no qualms letting random strangers die for lack of healthcare
Oh, yes.
Herman Caine and his family are most likely regretful about going to one of Trumps hate rallies maskless. The man was a Trump supporter and also Black? Go figure.
@j welsh I wonder, has his family ever spoken about it or are they complicit in their silence?
@Marie Tea “are they complicit in their silence?”
Can you explain that statement?
@G Guest By not saying anything and voicing their opinion, they may be in agreement with Drumpf’s callous actions. But they clearly are complicit as you can’t say you disagree with something by not saying anything.
Finally some leadership besides Dr. Fauci in the public health field. Dr. Redfield should have realized that in the long run history would have a better view of him if he stood up to trump.
Too little too late. It is not just the WH enablers and GOP fawning accomplices that need to be held liable, there is a whole host of professionals and elite of society who have held their council for too long.
Every federal organization has been corrupted by trump!! GOP/trump……BLUE TSUNAMI is coming!!
When the New England Journal of Medicine writes that t’rump and the republicans all need to be voted out as a public safety measure, that is NOT a good sign. 😂🤣

@goe1punk
Trump backed out because he’s a big fat baby. He’s afraid his poor little feelings will get hurt. Whaaaa
🍭🍼🍼🍭
#bunkerbaby
‘Scientific American’ also endorsed Biden/Harris for the same reason.
It’s messed up when fascist Trump is concerned more of a threat towards this country than methamphetamine addictions. 😬😷
Yvette Z. She came here poor. He’s worth 34 million, his wife got $1 million of stimulus benefits.
TRUMP. DOES. NOT. CARE. IF. YOU. LIVE. OR. DIE.
He’s as delusional as the homeless bum ranting in the sidewalk.
Its all BS you speak up.. Trump has been fighting for Ameecians everyday. Its always about contol control control with democrats. I give a big “F” to communism. Trump/Pence 2020!!
@Cory Hamric The only train coming is onto you during your weekly trips to the truck stop by random strangers.

@Cory Hamric this is complete nonsense
Redfield has been inexcusably WEAK.
What alternative course of action do you suggest he could have taken, understanding that Trump fires anyone and everyone that goes against his narrative? The CDC and Redfield ARE NOT the villains in this. The common denominator here is all of this is Donald Trump.
Before you use hyperbola like, “inexcusably weak”, provide an alternative course of action.
Typhoid Trump is a danger to everyone.

@Michael Jones Whom do you pray to Lucifer?
@Tony Smith get some help
@Michael Jones I thought you said you would pray? I nearly asked to who based upon your fruits that I see???
@Tony Smith get some help and stop with the dumb stuff
Redfield doesn’t have the courage to stand up to a toddler throwing a tantrum. Sadly, he’s the only choice we have. We can fix this on Nov 3rd. Vote Blue!
🤣🤣🤣
Donald Trump is more Dangerous than Covid 19..
VOTE HIM OUT!!!👉

TDS is worse
@Tech ti go away. You have nothing to stand on. Go back to fox. They will say what you want to hear.
FACTS!
@Tech ti Sorry Tech ti, you just can’t use those old Cold War cliches anymore. The tables have turned. Take a look, amigo. Trump and the Republicans (not the same thing) are cozying up to the Commies, not the Dems. Everything is turned upside down. Stop regurgitating the same old lines. You need to come up with new ones, if you can. Can you?
I just wish that anyone having any dealing with this Administration find their Voice Speak Loud & Clear against the Atrocity by t’Rump’s Death Cult. This must change what is everyone so afraid of Speak Up Now!
If he was man enough to stand up to Trump, I think he already would have. It can’t be the money, the guy surely can get some other gig that pays more!
“It is a slaughter…and not just a political pursuit.” Can you imagine Trumpty Dumpty has created a reality where we are actually reading and hearing these words~? I am shocked.
I think we’re all beyond shock….. this is a nightmare.
So basically, he’s asking Redfield to reclaim his balls and/or grow a spine.
@Biker 06 ✔
😜
@Tech ti 0% logical
dt .. an incomplete person, completely and absolutely 💯 % unqualified to be in this role
😝
@Katherine Raven why cause he is about action, and NOT manipulative talk? Lol. You sound like your Nancy Pelosis parrot. Ask her why california is going sh**. Lol. Cali, the highest turnover rate in the history of the U.S. along with the most homeless in the U.s. yup. ACTIONS…speak louder then words.
Exactly
Tech ti why don’t you just stop yacking. STFU and go wipe the diarrhea that’s pouring out.
Doesn’t carry any weight with Trump simply because he was recognized for his service by Obama.
Fauci got the Presidential Medal of Freedom from GW Bush.
tRump doesn’t care.
And he went to school of medicine for two days and bailed out for a joyride
If that letter was sent to Dr. Redfield a month ago and Dr. Redfield still has not done anything, I doubt Dr. Redfield is going to start now.
I hope Robert Redfield finally stands up and does what is right. America will stand with you
The letter was sent a month ago and No change. That means he has No Balls and cares more about his Job than the Truth
Don’t hold your breath.
His balls may be in 45s purse. Just wondering?
Robert Redfield is just a spineless puppet … the fact that he received this letter and STILL didn’t act proves it.
Any other year, it would be Congress investigating why the CDC had not acted more strongly.
