“Brad Parscale, the former Trump campaign manager who was demoted in July, claimed in a Fox News interview on Tuesday night that President Trump would have handily won the election if he had expressed more empathy about the coronavirus pandemic,” the New York Times reports.
Said Parscale: “We lost suburban families. I think that goes to one thing: the decision on Covid to go for opening the economy versus public empathy.”
He added: “I think if he had been publicly empathetic, he would have won.”
