Ron Klain tells Lawrence O'Donnell that the reason the U.S. is not prepared for the amount of testing that needs to be done is because of "failure stacked on failure stacked on failure" on behalf of the Trump administration. Dr. Ashish Jha adds the U.S. response is among the worst in the world: "It's really mind-boggling how badly we have done on testing." Dr. Sheri Fink also joins. Aired on 3/12/2020.

Top Health Official Admits Coronavirus Testing System Is ‘Failing’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
The punishment of cut fundings!
Karma I hope people wake up and realize that trump will destroy America with his ego and lies.
It’s just a failure. Period. I fear for us all. I hope dearly that I’m wrong. Please, support your community.
While trump was talking space force he was neglecting CDC. We must also learn from this. We cannot do this as long as we wish to have a safe life for our children. The CDC needs to be enshrined in the constitution like the USPS…
@BenL
He was also golfing while this crisis was going on.
*The punishment of cut fundings!*
DNC Blog This is the punishment of electing an unqualified president, Donald Trump!
DNC Blog Bernie 2020!
A staggering failure with tragicaly fatal consequences for many people.
Yes, we know trump was elected in 2016, no need to keep reminding everybody all the time !
Sheesh…
Americans, a minority but “enough” given that we are not exactly a democracy, decided to support a leader who told them the lies they wanted to hear, and decided that everyone who presented them with proof that Trump was a con-man were their enemies. And there are still voices out there claiming that it is all a hoax, as Trump was still saying even at the end of February 2020.
A pandemic outbreak isn’t much concern for this president but he will pull all the stops and even shut down the Federal government for a wall.
Tuck Frump !! His wall probably isn’t to keep people out it worries me that he could keep us all in*. Not gonna get his imaginary wall. And …don’t think he won’t use private donor money. He’s been spending our money far too long. THE POS 💩
vincent maldon A border wall might keep COVID-19 OUT of Mexico. 😂
vincent maldon Wall stops illegals with corona virus from invading. We need the wall more now than ever. Are you really that dense?
Trump would protect his ego and himself before the American people. Innocent people will die because of his mistakes and INCOMPETENCE.
j walsh Democrats was too busy playing identity politics and impeachment at the time, people were already dying you imbecile.
@MA 292
#cult45 #deplorable
@Robert Dickerson
True, but when do you think they just might do the right thing which is to throw this moron out of office? It won’t happen. And yes they are just as guilty.
MA 292 the democrats ain’t the president
@j walsh The Republicans won’t. It will have to be up to the voters in November. Poetic justice would be for all Republicans up for reelection to precede him out the door.
Failing, it was never working in the first place.
This is all on Donald Trump.
If he hadn’t made cuts to the Center of Disease Control, millions of people in the U.S. could have been tested by now.
Someone within the CDC made the fatal error of approving testing kits. This is also a global pandemic, it’s not trumps fault. You know he closed borders.
@Logan McLean still defending a psychopath career criminal and traitor? How proud are you?
@Logan McLean he gutted the CDC, how is it not his fault? He wouldn’t accept tests we were offered? He approved of flying in sick people from a cruise ship? It’s his fault we have no plan and that the economy is falling too.
R McElhaney This is all on Joe Biden/ Obama who sold out the USA medical manufacturing to China.
R McElhaney Fake News
a great nation like the u.s. can not do a better job than third world nations. that tells you how incompetent the u.s. is in handling this whole corona virus thing.
only in the USA.
Trump is a bankuptcy artist. What else did you expect than a failure ?
Gros Buck You are totally misinformed. But yeah, you watch MSDNC so I am not surprised
@Buzz Miller MOUAHAHHAHAHAHAH Yeah Trump never bankrupted ??? I guess you believe earth is flat then. Just for you info blind and deaf man. Trump was involved in a minimum of 6 bankruptcies.
We’ve done so badly because trump is an incompetent baffoon, he gambled with our health and as usual we’re paying the bill….
The “Best” people!
Incompetence at every level of this administration.
This is what happens when your leader gets syphilis.
It’s the Republican senate’s fault to remove Trump when they had the chance and now Americans will die.
45th U.S. President Trump John 8:44 the Evangelical Church Sin Anti Christ Rev 13:1 Knew Before his Impeachment That The Coronavirus Was In America But That Devil Chose To Place his Political Wants & Financial Needs Above America Rev 9:6.
Can you imagine all the people who voted for trump. They have to live with themselves knowing they allowed this to happen to their fellow Americans. The millions of American deaths will be on their hands. Including, people they love. Very sad.
South Korea is willing to help. The U.S. could be using the automated technology developed by South Korea’s Seegene biotech company. They used a supercomputer and automated testing within three weeks. And they’re willing to help us. If the FDA approved it, we could be testing a million Americans a week.

You need an integrated national health service. All these for profit system fail when there needs to be a national response.
Bernie 2020!
Can’t we drop T-man out of a chemtrail plane😂😅
