Exchange of the Day

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was interviewed on CNN by Jake Tapper:

MEADOWS: So, here’s what we have to do. We’re not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas.

TAPPER: Why aren’t we going to get control of the pandemic?

MEADOWS: Because it is a contagious virus. Just like the flu, it’s contagious.

TAPPER: Yes, but why not make efforts to contain it?

MEADOWS: Well, we are making efforts to contain it.

Anthony Scaramucci: “Mark Meadows just got destroyed on CNN by Jake Tapper. So much so that Trump had someone call into the control room and pull him. Hard to see a guy that once had integrity lie like that.”
