After Dr. Deborah Birx said the coronavirus “is extraordinarily widespread” during a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of the Union, President Trump turned his coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force for supposedly caving to Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics. In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!

During Sunday’s interview, Birx noted that the latest spread of the coronavirus is impacting states across the nation, warning that we’re in a “new phase” of the pandemic.
“What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It’s into the rural as equal urban areas,” Birx told CNN’s Dana Bash.
